A disc cartridge and a disc drive apparatus. The disc cartridge includes
an upper case and a lower case which form an internal space to
accommodate a disc, and a pair of elastic protrusions formed at both
sidewalls of the lower cases, which are elastically biased toward the
internal space so that ends of the elastic protrusions support the disc.
Surfaces are formed at the ends to slope toward the internal space so
that the disc is located in an upper portion of the internal space and
the pair of elastic protrusions supports the disc. The disc descends on
the surfaces when the pair of elastic protrusions are opened and the disc
is then located in a lower portion of the internal space.
