Abstract
A disk cartridge (21) for loading on a flat tray (1) included in a disk loading apparatus, wherein an inclined groove (32) is formed on the face side (22a) and the back side (22b) of the disk cartridge to extend in the moving direction of the shutter (23). A resin flow inlet (33) is provided at the rear end (27a) to improve the productability of the thin part of the cartridge. The inclination of the groove enables to detect when a wrong side of the disk cartridge is put on the tray.
