Abstract

A disk device tray includes a first support component, a second support component and a step component. The first support component has a first support face with a first disk supporting area that supports an outer edge portion of a lower face of a first disk. The second support component has a second support face with a second disk supporting area that supports an outer edge portion of a lower face of a second disk. The step component has an inner side portion protruding upward with respect to an outer side portion. The inner side portion has a top face that is located lower than the second support face and a first inner peripheral face that extends upward from the first support face to the top face and restricts movement of the first disk in a radial direction of the first disk.

Dependent claims

A disk device tray comprising:

a first support component having a first support face with a first disk supporting area that is arranged to support an outer edge portion of a lower face of a first disk;
a second support component concentrically formed with respect to the first support component and having a second support face with a second disk supporting area that is arranged to support an outer edge portion of a lower face of a second disk with the second disk supporting area having a larger diameter than the first disk supporting area;
and
a step component formed between the first and second support components and having an outer side portion and an inner side portion that is located inward with respect to the outer side portion and that protrudes upward with respect to the outer side portion, the inner side portion having a top face that is located lower than the second support face of the second support component and a first inner peripheral face that extends upward from the first support face to the top face of the inner side portion and is arranged to restrict movement of the first disk in a radial direction of the first disk on the first support face,
an upper circular edge of the inner peripheral face being disposed parallel to a lower circular edge of the inner peripheral face.
