Disk apparatus having a contacting member contacting an outermost area of a disk for protecting the disk from damage due to a shock

摘要

A disk apparatus which can prevent a disk from being damaged when a shock is applied to the disk apparatus is provided. A disk is rotatably supported in a space formed between a tray and a cover when the disk is loaded in the disk apparatus. A contacting member is provided in the space so that the contacting member contacts an outermost annular area of a surface of the disk when the disk is warped. The outermost annular area is a non-recordable area which is adjacent to a rim of the disk.
