Abstract
A disc cassette comprising an information disc has a slot 10 for the passage of a recording and/or reproducing head and a central opening 9 for the passage of a drive spindle. On the outside it carries a closing cover which is movable towards an operational position and which has a slot 12 which aligns with the slot 10 in the envelope in the operational position of the closing cover. The closing cover 11 extends further than the central opening 9 in the major wall to cover this opening in the closing position of the closing cover and has a further opening 13 which overlaps the central opening in the envelope of the disc cassette in said operational position to allow the passage of drive spindle of a drive apparatus. Preferably the closing cover and the envelope cooperate with each other near the central opening to retain the closing cover against undesired displacements away from the enclosure.
