Abstract

A record disk cartridge has a single internal shutter for opening and closing a head access port adjacent a spindle access member in one wall. A further aperture allows the shutter to be actuated to an open position as the cartridge is moved into a playing position. The shutter also brakes the disk against movement when the cartridge apertures are closed. A magnetic coupling enables rotation of the disk inside the cartridge.
