ABSTRACT:
A disc device comprises a floating base supported by a chassis through a plurality of elastic members, a holder which is supported on the floating base so as to be able to move vertically with respect to the floating base, and into which a disc cartridge is inserted, a slider, slidably disposed so as to move in directions of inserting and discharging a disc cartridge into and out of the disc device, for holding and carrying a disc cartridge inserted thereinto, a turn table disposed on the floating base and rotationally driven by a motor, onto which a disc accommodated within the disc cartridge is loaded, an optical pickup disposed in the floating base, for reading information from the disc which is rotated by the turn table, and a protrusion projecting from the slider to the floating base, the protrusion being brought into contact with the floating base, when the slider undergoes displacement toward the floating base, so as to prevent the slider from coming into contact with either the turn table or the optical pickup.
