Abstract
A disc reproduction apparatus capable of stabilizing the position of the circumferential edge of a disc during the disc loading and preventing the disc from abutting on a turntable. In the disc reproduction apparatus of the type that a disc squeezed between a disc guide and a disc roller is loaded while the roller is rotated, a disc contact surface of the disc guide is slanted so that the disc is spaced from a turntable along a disc transport direction when the disc is loaded.
Claims8
A disc loading mechanism for a disc reproduction apparatus for loading a disc squeezed between a disc guide and a disc roller,
- said mechanism comprising a clamper holder for moving a camper in a horizontal state upwardly and downwardly,
- wherein a disc contact surface of said disc guide is constructed to be slanted so that the disc is spaced from a turntable along a disc transport direction, and
- while the disc is loaded, an edge of the disc slanted by the disc guide is in contact with said clamper holder when the disc is loaded.
A disc loading mechanism for a disc reproduction apparatus for loading a disc squeezed between a disc guide and a disc roller,
- wherein when a clamper is raised to unclamp the disc, an edge of the disc is raised by a disc holding member formed on a stopper for moving in a radial direction of the disc in accordance with a disc size so as to position the disc, said holding member being tapered to the clamper.
A disc loading mechanism for a disc reproduction apparatus for loading a disc squeezed between a disc guide and a disc roller,
- wherein a slanted portion is provided on a disc stopper for moving in a radial direction of the disc in accordance with a disc size so as to position the disc, and
- when a clamper is raised to unclamp the disc, said disc stopper is moved in a disc direction to raise an edge of the disc with said slanted portion.
A disc loading mechanism for a disc reproduction apparatus for loading a disc squeezed between a disc guide and a disc roller,
- wherein a slanted portion and a non-slanted portion are provided on a side of a disc stopper for positioning the disc at a reproduction position,
- the disc is positioned by said non-slanted portion when the disc stopper is moved in a radial direction of the disc in accordance with a disc size so as to position the disc,
- the disc stopper is moved in a disc direction to raise an edge of the disc when a clamper is raised to unclamp the disc with said slanted position.
A disc loading mechanism for a disc reproduction apparatus for loading a disc squeezed between a disc guide and a disc roller,
- wherein a flange is provided on a lower portion of a disc stopper rotatively mounted on a chassis for positioning the disc at a reproduction position,
- a slanted portion is provided on a side of the disc stopper,
- said flange prevents the disc from entering under the disc stopper by mounting an edge of the disc on the flange when said disc stopper stops the disc at the reproduction position, and
- the disc stopper is rotated to raise an edge of the disc with the slanted portion when the clamper is raised to unclamp the disc.
