Abstract
A disc drive apparatus having a simple configuration and allowing a user to put a disc into and take it out from the apparatus with ease includes a lid and a tray incorporated into a cabinet of a disc drive, so as to be able to turn and, when the lid is opened or closed relative to the cabinet, a pair of tray-interlocked pivots are forced to slide in respective guide grooves so as to transmit the force applied to the lid to the tray by way of the tray-interlocked pivots and the guide grooves. With this arrangement, the tray can be turned with the lid in an interlocked manner. Thus, a lower part of the tray edges out forwardly and the tray is turned slightly upward when the lid is opened, whereas the lower part of the tray is moved backward to restore the original position where it substantially vertically stands when the lid is closed.
