ABSTRACT:
A sliding mechanism for an optical compact disk drive includes right and left slide tracks respectively mounted at opposite sides of a tray of the optical compact disk drive. A plurality of bulbous contacts are formed on the right and left slide tracks respectively to fit with a plurality of retaining portions of a lower cover of the optical compact disk drive. By respectively having the bulbous contacts in point to point contact with the corresponding retaining portions, the tray smoothly moves in a stable manner between its outermost and innermost positions. A slide body of each slide track is provided with a hook, a protection piece and a fastening piece to hold the tray at its outermost or innermost positions. Thereby, the stability and effectiveness of the optical compact disk drive assembled with the sliding mechanism of the invention is increased.
