Abstract
A disk device includes a loader chassis, a traverse chassis, an optical pickup, a clamp mechanism and a cam mechanism. The cam mechanism pivots the traverse chassis with respect to the loader chassis between a loading position and an unloading position. The cam mechanism includes a follower, a cam plate, a guide member and a biasing member. The cam plate has a first restricting face that restricts a first direction movement of the follower with respect to the cam plate. The guide member has a second restricting face that restricts a second direction movement of the follower with respect to the guide member. The biasing member biases the follower towards both the first restricting face of the cam plate and the second restricting face of the guide member when the traverse chassis is located at the loading position.
