摘要：A cartridge body of a disc cartridge includes a disc inlet/outlet port for introducing an optical disc into and removing an optical disc from the cartridge body. A lid member is mounted on the cartridge body to be rotatable between a closed position and an opened position. The cartridge body has an abutting portion for abutting against the lid member when the lid member is rotated to the closed position. The lid member includes a first end portion rotatably supported on the cartridge body, and a second end portion which is rotatable around the first end portion and which faces the abutting portion of the cartridge body with a clearance interposed therebetween when the lid member is disposed in the closed position and the lid member is not elastically deformed. The second portion of the lid member is elastically locked in the closed position by a locking mechanism when the second end portion of the lid member positioned in the closed position is elastically deformed in a direction toward the abutting portion so as to eliminate the clearance.
