Abstract
A compatible disk device includes: a base; a first turntable disposed on the base for transmitting a rotational force to a first disk; a second turntable for transmitting a rotational force to a second disk; a retaining arm for retaining the second turntable with a play; a support shaft disposed on the base in a position separated from either the first disk supported by the first turntable or the second disk supported by the second turntable; and a sub-base attached pivotally to the support shaft, the sub-base supporting the retaining arm to be rotatable in a plane parallel to a disk surface of the first disk or the second disk and to be elevated in an axial direction of the support shaft.
Claims15
A compatible disk device capable of playing either of a first disk stored in a cartridge and a second disk not stored in a cartridge, said compatible disk device comprising:
- a base;
- a first turntable disposed on said base for transmitting a rotational force to said first disk;
- a second turntable for transmitting a rotational force to said second disk;
- a retaining arm for retaining said second turntable with a play;
- a support shaft disposed on said base in a position separated from either said first disk supported by said first turntable or said second disk supported by said second turntable;
- and
- a sub-base attached movably to said support shaft, said sub-base supporting said retaining arm to be rotatable in a plane parallel to a disk surface of said first disk or said second disk and to be pivotally elevated in an axial direction of said support shaft.
A compatible disk device capable of playing either of a first disk stored in a cartridge and a second disk not stored in a cartridge, said compatible disk device comprising:
- a base;
- a first turntable disposed on said base for transmitting a rotational force to said first disk;
- a second turntable for transmitting the rotational force to said second disk;
- a clamp for clamping said second disk to said second turntable;
- a clamp arm for retaining said damp;
- a support shaft disposed on said base in a position separated from either said first disk supported by said first turntable or said second disk supported by said second turntable;
- and
- a sub-base attached movably to said support shaft, said sub-base supporting said clamp arm to be rotatable in a plane parallel to a disk surface of said first disk or said second disk and to be pivotally elevated in an axial direction of said support shaft.
