Claims12
An electronic equipment using a storage medium comprising:
- a main body having a front surface;
- an opening portion located through said front surface of said main body, said opening portion being used for insertion and ejection of the storage medium;
- a lid body rotatably provided on said main body, said lid body opening and closing said opening portion;
- and
- a first inclined portion of said lid body, said first inclined portion having a concave surface and being used for rotating said lid body in a direction in which said storage medium opens said opening portion when the storage medium is inserted into said electronic equipment, wherein said concave surface is exposed to an exterior of said main body such that when the storage medium is inserted into said main body, the storage medium is brought into contact with said concave surface.
A recording medium recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- an apparatus body having a front surface;
- an opening portion through said front surface of said apparatus body, said opening portion being used for insertion and ejection of a recording medium, and said apparatus body having a recording and reproducing unit for recording and reproducing a recording medium inserted through said opening portion;
- a lid body for opening and closing said opening portion, said lid body rotatably provided on said apparatus body and said lid body;
- and
- a first inclined portion located at a side surface of said lid body, said first inclined portion having a concave surface and being used for rotating said lid body in a direction in which said recording medium opens said opening portion when the recording medium is inserted into said apparatus, wherein said concave surface is exposed to an exterior of said apparatus body such that when the recording medium is inserted into said apparatus body, the recording medium is brought into contact with said concave surface.
