Abstract

A small magnetic disk cartridge for use in a card disk drive to be loaded in electronic equipment. The magnetic disk cartridge comprises a housing, a disk-mounting hub rotatable within the housing by a spindle provided in the disk drive, and a flexible magnetic disk mounted at one point on the disk-mounting hub.

Claims (12)

1. A magnetic disk cartridge for use in a card disk drive to be loaded in electronic equipment, comprising:

a housing;

a disk-mounting hub rotatable within said housing by a spindle provided in said disk drive; and

a flexible magnetic disk mounted at one point on said disk-mounting hub so that a center portion of the disk is fixed to the center portion of the hub at the one point.

2. The magnetic disk cartridge as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the diameter of said one point on said disk-mounting hub is 20% or less of the diameter of a portion of said disk-mounting hub which faces said magnetic disk.

3. The magnetic disk cartridge as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said flexible magnetic disk is mounted at the one point on said disk-mounting hub by an adhesive agent.

4. The magnetic disk cartridge as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said flexible magnetic disk is mechanically mounted at the one point on said disk-mounting hub by a pin.

5. The magnetic disk cartridge as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the area where the disk is fixed to the hub is 10% or less of the diameter of the portion of the hub which faces the flexible magnetic disk.

6. The magnetic disk cartridge as set forth in claim 5 , wherein said flexible magnetic disk is mounted at the one point on said disk-mounting hub by an adhesive agent.

7. The magnetic disk cartridge as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the area where the disk is fixed to the hub is 5% or less of the diameter of the portion of the hub which faces the flexible magnetic disk.

8. The magnetic disk cartridge as set forth in claim 7 , wherein said flexible magnetic disk is mounted at the one point on said disk-mounting hub by an adhesive agent.

9. The magnetic disk cartridge as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a length of 25 to 36 mm, a width of 25 to 36 mm, and a thickness of 1 to 3 mm.
