Abstract
A changer type compact disk reproduction device having a first disk transfer mechanism and a second disk transfer mechanism capable of transferring a disk inserted into the device between a reproduction position and a storage position. The first disk transfer mechanism include first and second disk guide sections that hold the outer peripheral faces of a disk inserted into the reproduction device and transfers the disk to a reproduction position. The second disk transfer mechanism include third and fourth disk guide sections that hold the outer peripheral faces of the disk and transfers the disk between a storage position and a position where the first disk transfer mechanism can hold the disk. Each transfer mechanism includes a timing belt that moves the disk along the transfer mechanism.

A changer type compact disk reproduction device comprising:
- a disk insertion opening,
- a disk reproduction mechanism,
- a stocker which is capable of storing a plurality of disks,
- a loading chassis supporting a first disk transfer mechanism and a second disk transfer mechanism,
- said first disk transfer mechanism comprising a first disk guide section and a second disk guide section, said first and second disk guide sections being roughly parallel to each other and coupled to face each other,
- said first and second disk guide sections being movable towards and away from each other in order to engage or disengage the outer peripheral face of a disk,
- at least one endless timing belt being rotatably supported by said first disk transfer mechanism,
- said second disk transfer mechanism comprising a third disk guide section and a fourth disk guide section,
- said third and fourth disk guide sections moving independently of each other in order to engage or disengage the outer peripheral face of a disk,
- at least one endless timing belt being rotatably supported by said second disk transfer mechanism.
