1. A medium drive unit comprising: a tray to which a storage medium is detachably mounted;a housing body that slidably houses the tray; anda frame body that covers a front-end surface of the tray which front-end surface is on a side where the tray slides out from the housing body, and that includes an opening for causing the tray to protrude from the housing body in a sliding manner by using a tool, whereinthe tray includes a button which is provided on the front-end surface and is used to slide out the main body in response to the button being pressed, andthe frame body includes a rib, the rib having on a rear surface of the frame body which rear surface faces a side of the tray a protrusion which protrudes toward the tray and whose tip is at a position close to the button and a flexible portion receiving pressing from a front surface facing an outside to deflect toward the side of the tray so as to push the button with tip of the protrusion, the rib standing up on the rear surface on the side of the tray and abutting on the front-end surface of the tray. 2. The medium drive unit according to claim 1, wherein the frame body has a slit which extends along a contour line of the frame body while surrounding the protrusion to define the flexible portion except a partial area of the contour line, the slit being formed through the frame body to appear on a front surface and a rear surface of the frame body, andthe flexible portion deflects such that the flexible portion elastically bends at the partial area in response to the flexible portion being pressed. 3. The medium drive unit according to claim 1, wherein the frame body is a molded resin product obtained by integrally molding the entire frame body including the flexible portion. 4. An electronic apparatus in which the medium drive unit according to claim 1 is mounted. 5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the frame body forms a part of an enclosure of the electronic apparatus when the frame body is attached to the electronic apparatus. 6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising a data-processing unit provided with a built-in data-processing circuit that carries out data processing and a keyboard disposed on a top surface of the data-processing unit to input an instruction according to an operation.
