A disc cartridge which is capable of positively closing a disc access
opening by shutter members. In the disc cartridge, a lower shell is
formed with urging protuberances for urging shutter members in a manner
causing the shutter members to pivotally move toward respective closing
positions, and the shutter members are each formed with a protruding
portion protruded from a side end face thereof such that a force for
pressing the protruding portion against the urging protuberance is
progressively increased after the protruding portion is brought into
abutment with the urging protuberance before completion of a pivotal
motion of a disc tray until the completion of the pivotal motion of the
disc tray.
