ABSTRACT:
There is provided an apparatus for encasing a disc-type recording medium, including a disc tray on which a disc-type recording medium is to be supported, a case in which the disc tray is encased, a pair of rails formed in the case and each extending in a first direction in which the disc tray is drawn out of the case and put into the case, a member movable along the rails and supporting the disc tray, the member comprising a first member bridging across the rails and a second member at least partially, circumferentially surrounding the disc tray, and a connection shaft for connecting the disc tray to the member so that the disc tray is rotatable about the connection shaft. For instance, the connection shaft extends in parallel with the first direction, and connects the disc tray to the second member at a midpoint of a width of an outermost edge of the second member which width extends perpendicular to the first direction. In accordance with the apparatus, since the disc tray is rotatable relative to the member, a disc-type recording medium could be readily put on the disc tray when the apparatus is used in such a manner that the case stands vertically with respect to a width-wise direction thereof.
