Abstract

A photosensitive recording medium cartridge comprising a cartridge body, an opening, and a shutter, the cartridge body receiving a disc type photosensitive recording medium therein so that the photosensitive recording medium can rotate, the opening being provided in the cartridge body for exposing the photosensitive recording medium to an outside, the shutter being attached to the cartridge body so that the shutter can move between a close position for closing the opening and an open position for opening the opening, wherein: the shutter includes a bent portion which is formed in an outer circumferential end portion of the shutter so as to be bent toward the cartridge body side; and the cartridge body includes a protrusion portion which is formed in a position corresponding to the outer circumferential end portion.

Claims (23)

1. A photosensitive recording medium cartridge comprising a cartridge body, an opening, and a shutter, the cartridge body receiving a disc type photosensitive recording medium therein so that the photosensitive recording medium can rotate, the opening being provided in the cartridge body for exposing the photosensitive recording medium to an outside, the shutter being attached to the cartridge body so that the shutter can move between a close position for closing the opening and an open position for opening the opening, wherein:

the shutter includes a bent portion which is formed in an outer circumferential end portion of the shutter so as to be bent toward the cartridge body side;

the cartridge body includes a protrusion portion which is formed in a position corresponding to the outer circumferential end portion;

the bent portion is formed in an end portion on a side of the outer circumferential end portion which can move in a direction of opening the shutter;

the shutter includes a first light-shield plate portion slidably moving so as to open/close the opening, a second light-shield plate portion provided vertically at an end on a side of the first light-shield plate portion which can move in a direction of opening the shutter, and a third light-shield plate portion provided vertically in a direction of closing the shutter with respect to the second light-shield plate portion; and

the cartridge body includes a protrusive line which is inserted between the first light-shield plate portion and the third light-shield plate portion when the shutter is in the close position.

2. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the cartridge body is formed so that an inner surface of the cartridge body to the photosensitive recording medium and an outer surface of the cartridge body to the shutter are matted or embossed with a surface roughness Ra of 5 to 20 μm.

3. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the cartridge body includes a first shell substantially shaped like a plate, and a second shell lap-welded with the first shell, the first and second shells being made of a thermo plastic, the other components inclusive of the shutter being made of materials different from the materials of the first and second shells.

4. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 3 , wherein 0.01% by weight to 5.00% by weight of a light-shield substance are added to a plastic used for molding each of the first and second shells and the shutter.

5. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 3 , wherein 0.01% by weight to 2.00% by weight of carbon black are added to a plastic used for molding each of the first and second shells and the shutter.

6. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 3 , wherein 0.1% by weight to 5.0% by weight of a silicone-based lubricant are added to a plastic used for molding each of the first and second shells and the shutter.

7. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the photosensitive recording medium is a holographic recording medium.

8. A photosensitive recording medium cartridge comprising a cartridge body, an opening, and a shutter, the cartridge body receiving a disc type photosensitive recording medium therein so that the photosensitive recording medium can rotate, the opening being provided in the cartridge body for exposing the photosensitive recording medium to an outside, the shutter being attached to the cartridge body so that the shutter can move between a close position for closing the opening and an open position for opening the opening, wherein:

the shutter includes a bent portion which is formed in an outer circumferential end portion of the shutter so as to be bent toward the cartridge body side;

the cartridge body includes a protrusion portion which is formed in a position corresponding to the outer circumferential end portion;

the shutter includes a first light-shield plate portion slidably moving so as to open/close the opening, a second light-shield plate portion provided vertically at an end on a side of the first light-shield plate portion which can move in a direction of opening the shutter, and a third light-shield plate portion provided vertically with respect to the second light-shield plate portion in a direction of opening the shutter; and

the cartridge body includes a protrusion portion upper surface formed so as to face the first light-shield plate portion when the shutter is in the close position, a protrusion portion side surface formed so as to face the second light-shield plate portion when the shutter is in the close position, and a shutter slide surface offset in the inside of the protrusion portion upper surface and formed so as to face the third light-shield plate portion when the shutter is in the close position.

9. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 8 , wherein the cartridge body is formed so that an inner surface of the cartridge body to the photosensitive recording medium and an outer surface of the cartridge body to the shutter are matted or embossed with a surface roughness Ra of 5 to 20 μm.

10. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 8 , wherein the cartridge body includes a first shell substantially shaped like a plate, and a second shell lap-welded with the first shell, the first and second shells being made of a thermo plastic, the other components inclusive of the shutter being made of materials different from the materials of the first and second shells.

11. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 10 , wherein 0.01% by weight to 5.00% by weight of a light-shield substance are added to a plastic used for molding each of the first and second shells and the shutter.

12. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 10 , wherein 0.01% by weight to 2.00% by weight of carbon black are added to a plastic used for molding each of the first and second shells and the shutter.

13. The photosensitive recording medium cartridge according to claim 10 , wherein 0.1% by weight to 5.0% by weight of a silicone-based lubricant are added to a plastic used for molding each of the first and second shells and the shutter.
