An optical disc device includes: a loader body having a guiding recess formed of a linear portion and a sloped portion; a traverse chassis mounted in the loader body and having a protrusion that is guided along the recess; a turntable mounted on the traverse chassis, for mounting the optical disc; and a clamper which clamps the optical disc between the clamper and the turntable when the traverse chassis ascends relative to the loader body to a clamp position, in which when the traverse chassis is at a position lower than the clamp position, the protrusion is guided along the recess, and when the traverse chassis is at the clamp position, the protrusion is positioned inside the sloped portion.

Optical disc device

An optical disc apparatus includes: a chassis; an optical pickup that is movably disposed on the chassis; a flexible member including wiring, which extends out from the optical pickup; and a wall portion that is provided in a standing manner at one end portion of the chassis. In the optical disc apparatus, an opening that allows the flexible member to be disposed in a bent state is formed through the chassis, and a first cutout is formed at the wall portion so as to be continuous with the opening.

Optical disc apparatus

There are provided a disc tray, a traverse unit, and a main chassis unit. The main chassis unit has a main chassis, which has, as observed when the traverse unit is in a stand-by position, a latch portion that engages with a projection portion of a sub rack and a stopper member that restricts the movement of the cam slider. The stopper member has a rotary shaft in the shape of a circular column, a lever portion which the projection portion makes contact, and a lock portion that makes contact with the cam slider and thereby restricts the sliding movement of the cam slider.
