An information processing device includes: a casing including a side surface having an opening part and a bottom surface orthogonal to the side surface; a frame provided at the bottom surface; a disk drive main body capable of being attached to and detached from the frame through the opening part; a disk tray which is operable to hold a disk, is capable of being inserted into and drawn out of the disk drive main body through the opening part, and has a hatch operable to close the opening part when the disk tray is inserted in the disk drive main body; and a coupling part through which the frame and the disk drive main body are coupled to each other in the vicinity of the opening part.

Information processing device

A rotating door mechanism includes: a front door member having a door panel part having a nearly cylindrical side surface which is opened and closed on a side surface of a cabinet; a base member; and a rotating member, wherein the rotating member is rotatably mounted on the base member, the front door member is movably mounted on the rotating member from a direction of the door front side to a depth direction while the front door member is energized to the door front side, the base member is formed with a guiding part guiding the movement of the front door member, and the door panel part is slid to rotate the rotating member and the front door member is moved with movements in a front/depth direction and in the rotating direction by the rotating member and the guiding part, whereby the door panel part is opened and closed.

Rotating door mechanism and electronic appliance

A tray ejecting mechanism includes a stationary bezel mounted to a front surface of an ejectable tray, and a movable bezel movably attached to the stationary bezel while being biased in a front-surface direction. The stationary bezel includes a detection component positionally shiftable in accordance with an open/close position of the tray, and a switch component having a pressing portion for pressing an ejection switch on the tray and being positionally shiftable in conjunction with the detection component. When the tray is closed, the switch component is positioned such that, as the movable bezel is pushed inward, a pressing rib applies a pressing force to the pressing portion to press the ejection switch. When the tray is open, the ejection switch is prevented from being pressed by the pressing portion even if the movable bezel is pushed inward toward the stationary bezel.
