A disc carrier for an optical disc drive includes a recession integrally formed
thereon and an axial tube projecting from a central portion of a bottom wall of
the recession. A shaft extends through the axial tube. An engaging length between
the axial tube and the shaft is increased to improve rotating stability of the
disc carrier. A support member is fixed in the recession and includes a peripheral
support edge along a periphery thereof. The support member is in contact with and
thus supports plural clamping members of a clamping device.
