ABSTRACT:
A protective cartridge for a data storage disk (e.g. an optical disk) includes a retainer mechanism for restricting longitudinal movement of a disk/carrier assembly within the cartridge interior. Such mechanism preferably comprises a flexible, cantilever-mounted leaf spring having a lip which is adapted to engage a trailing edge of a disk-carrier after such carrier has entered the cartridge through a pivotably mounted cartridge door. To allow extraction of a retained disk-carrier from the cartridge, the retainer is located so it is engaged and moved to a non-retaining position by the cartridge door as the latter moves from a closed to an open position.
