Abstract
According to the invention, case members each include a main surface and side surfaces provided at ends of the main surface. At a corner where a pair of side surfaces in at least one of the case members adjoin, an integral part having at least one pair of continuously integrated side surfaces is provided. Therefore, the corners of the case members can be prevented from bending or deforming, and the mechanical strength of the main surface can be improved. Therefore, the shock resistance can be improved, and the thickness of the case members can be reduced in order to reduce the size and weight of the device.
Claims2
An optical disk device, comprising:
- a case;
- a tray, which is attached so as to be capable of protruding/withdrawing from/into the case;
- and
- a holding portion, which holds the housing and the tray movably, the holding portion having a first rail attachment portion disposed on the case, a second rail attachment portion disposed on the tray, and rails disposed movably on the first and second rail attachment portions;
- wherein a rail disposed on one holding portion, and a rail disposed on the other holding portion are formed by different materials;
- and
- the rail, which is disposed on one holding portion, has a thinner thickness of a material which forms the rail, than that of the rail which is disposed on the other holding portion.
