A disk cartridge does not require a plate supporter for holding a chucking
plate on an upper shell. In this disk cartridge, a chucking plate for
chucking a disk on a turntable, driven by a spindle motor, is placed on
the middle of the disk so the chucking plate is vertically movable
together with the disk. The disk cartridge further includes a peripheral
cylindrical rib which is not in contact with the disk and is configured
to limit movement of the chucking plate in the direction of its diameter
while permitting the vertical movement of the chucking plate. The
peripheral cylindrical rib is molded integral with the lower surface of
the upper shell.
