Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
In an apparatus for processing information optically recorded on a disk (4), which comprises: a housing (1-) having a recess (2) for accommodating the disk (4) in a rotatable state; a lid member (lb) for closing said recess (2); and an optical head (11) provided inside said housing (1) for movement along a predetermined path and serving at least to read out information from the disk (4) by the agency of a laser beam (13), said optical head (11) projecting the laser beam (13) toward the disk (4) for illumination thereof in a direction from the interior of the housing (1) toward the lid member (lb), the improvement in which said lid member (lb) includes.: laser beam blocking means (16) disposed to face said path of movement of the optical head (11) for blocking the laser beam (13); and transmitting means (15) disposed to face a portion of the disk other than a portion facing said path of movement for permitting the disk (4) to be seen from the outside.
