ABSTRACT:
In an optical disk drive for recording and reproducing data out of an optical disk, a carriage locking mechanism has an engaging member which is rotatable in a plane parallel to a base member. This reduces the space occupied by the engaging member in the direction of height of the base member. As a result, the overall thickness of the disk drive is successfully reduced. Moreover, since a notch is located at a position where the engaging member interferes with a yoke member, the height of the disk drive is further reduced.
