The adapter main body (1a) is provided with a rotation prevention protrusion (3) against the disk-transferring tray (71) at the lower surface thereof and a disk clamper passing dented portion (4) at the upper surface thereof. The rotation prevention protrusion (3) has a thickness which can serve as an optical disk entering prevention protruded portion, and is provided with a protrusion (5) which comes into contact with a chassis (82) of a driving unit (81) in a cabinet at a lower surface thereof, whereby the rear end of the adapter is lifted from the 12 cm-disk placing dented portion (72) when the driving unit (81) is lifted.
46 Optical recording medium US10526594 2003-09-03 US20050254406A1 2005-11-17 Shinya Yoshida
When adding to a conventional medium such a function that allows it to have a value in its design as does a trading card, a design needs to be made while avoiding a through hole of about 10 mm long in diameter provided in the center of the medium, which substantially reduces the degree of freedom and the value of the design. An optical recording medium of the present invention is composed of one substrate, and the substrate has a circular or annular recess formed in one face thereof and a design put on the center of the other face thereof.

57 Personal computer data storage card and adapter and method for transferring information between the data storage card and personal computers US203033 1998-12-01 US6011677A 2000-01-04 David H. Rose
A personal computer data storage card includes a substrate layer, a magnetic medium layer, and a protective layer respectively affixed together. The data storage card is typically placed within an adapter and inserted into a personal computer floppy disk drive wherein the adapter includes dimensions compatible with the floppy disk drive to permit the data storage card to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the data storage card. During rotation of the data storage card within the floppy disk drive, the data storage card traverses floppy disk drive read/write heads for information storage and retrieval. Paper may be utilized as the protective layer of the data storage card and include text or graphics to have the data storage card simultaneously function as both a data storage device and a business card or other advertisement media. Further, the data storage card may be of any shape permitting rotation of the data storage card within the adapter, and may include an additional magnetic medium layer and protective layer to provide a storage capacity substantially similar to that of standard floppy disks.
