Abstract
A light-tight optical disk cartridge is disclosed for use with ETOM erasable and other optical disks in which light baffles incorporating a snap lock feature are utilized in the assembly of the optical disk cartridge in order to provide structural integrity to the cartridge as well as to prevent the entry of light into the cartridge. A snap close slide and latching mechanism is incorporated in order to prevent accidental opening of the access mechanism of the optical disk cartridge.
