Abstract
A stopper structure is constructed at a lateral side of an upper cover of a disc drive housing to prevent a flying-away disc from leaving the housing. The stopper structure with a predetermined inward-angle tip can generate a lift to drive the disc away from an aperture located between the upper cover and a base tray while hitting the lateral side. Thereby, the straying disc can thus be self-locked inside the housing.
