A portable information terminal device cradle apparatus includes a recording/reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing data using a recording disk, disposed in an inner space enclosed by an enclosure including an upper plate and a lower plate, a main part of a connector for a connection with a portable information terminal device and/or a cradle assembly placed on the upper plate, and a connector holding part for holding the main part of the connector such that the main part of the connector is rotatable with respect to the upper plate.

Portable information terminal cradle apparatus

An optical head has a stationary optical system and a movable optical system. The stationary optical system includes a semiconductor laser located in a holding member with an opening, and a beam splitter for guiding light emitted from the light source, to the outside of the holding member through the opening. The sheet member contacts both the beam splitter and that portion of the holding member which surrounds the opening thereof, thereby sealing the opening. Further, the holding member is movably secured to the frame of the movable optical system.

Optical head

A photomagnetic signal detecting apparatus, in the reflected light path of a light beam reflected from a recording medium in which information is magnetically recorded, there is provided an optical element having a light beam dividing device transmitting one of two polarized lights intersecting at right angles with each other and reflecting the other polarized light and a light path converting device emitting by reflection or refraction the light beam reflected by this light beam dividing device in substantially the same direction as of the transmitted light transmitted through the above mentioned light beam dividing device so that the transmitted light and reflected light emitted from this optical element may be received by a photodetecting device.
