2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a disk cartridge device of this type, a disk-shaped disk such as an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, and a magnetic disk is rotated in a cartridge body formed by joining an upper case and a lower case to each other. It is stored freely. The cartridge body containing the disc is provided with an opening facing a pickup for recording and / or reproducing information signals from a substantially central portion thereof in a radial direction of the disc. The opening accommodates a disk table of a disk drive that rotates the disk together with the pickup. Further, a shutter made of a thin metal plate or a hard synthetic resin for opening and closing the opening is slidably attached to the cartridge body.

FIG. 17 shows such a disk cartridge device. The cartridge main body 1 is formed in a substantially box shape by joining upper and lower cases 1a and 1b together. A disk 2 such as an optical disk is rotatably accommodated in the cartridge body 1 with a predetermined gap (clearance).

Openings 3 (only the upper case side is shown) are formed in the upper and lower cases 1a and 1b of the cartridge body 1 in the radial direction from the center of rotation of the disk. A shutter 4 is attached to the cartridge body 1 at one side corresponding to the opening 3 so as to be slidable in the directions of arrows A and B.

[0005] Further, the cartridge body 1 has upper and lower cases 1a, 1b on surfaces facing the disk plane.
A concave first label sticking portion 5 formed so as to be depressed from the other surface (in FIG. 17, only the upper case side is shown, and the lower case side is not shown in FIG. 17) is formed, respectively. The lower case 1b is continuously connected to the first label attaching portion 5.
Is provided with a concave second label sticking portion 6 formed so as to be depressed from the other surface. Display surfaces 7a to 7c of a display label 7 displaying, for example, the content of information recorded on the disc 2 are attached to the first and second label attaching portions 5 and 6, for example.

With the above configuration, the shutter 4 is slidably disposed in the cartridge body 1 in the directions of arrows A and B so as to open and close the openings 3 of the upper and lower cases 1a and 1b.
