A disk cartridge includes a case accommodating a disk and having a first
hole, a cover installed at the case and having a second hole open to an
outside of the cover, a shutter installed to be capable of moving with
respect to the case disposed under the disk to open/shut the first hole
formed on the case, and a plurality of protruding portions provided at
the shutter to support a non information area provided at an outer
circumferential side of the disk and having inclined surfaces inclined at
a predetermined angle. When the shutter is opened, the disk descends
along the inclined surfaces. When the shutter is shut, the disk ascends
along the inclined surfaces to closely contact a portion of the cover
disposed around the second hole of the cover. Thus, since the shutter
contacts only a non-information area of the disk, an information area of
the disk can be safely kept from being damaged during an operation of
opening/shutting the first hole. Also, since an edge portion of the outer
circumferential side of the disk closely contacts a sealing member
disposed around the second hole of the cover in a state that the shutter
is shut, a gap through which dust can intrude is blocked, so that
contamination of the recording surface can be reduced.
