Abstract
The present invention relates to restrict a disk playing base plate against movement in back-and-forth directions, lateral directions and vertical directions relative to a housing by making use of the movement of a roller holder supporting a disk carrier roller. A pair of (i.e., left and right) side plates 11 of the roller holder has roller holder contact parts for restricting movement in the back-and-forth, lateral and vertical directions, and the top and bottom plates of the housing have housing contact parts corresponding to the roller holder contact parts. When a disk carrier roller is in a disk carrying position, the front part of the disk playing base plate is restricted against movement in the back-and-forth, lateral and vertical directions relative to the housing.
Claims4
A disk player, in which:
- a disk carrier roller is rotatably supported at the opposite ends by a pair of side plates of a roller holder disposed transversely of an axis of the disk player, which axis extends along a disk transfer path, said roller holder being mounted together with a pick-up and other components on a disk playing base plate;
- said disk carrier roller is selectively located at a disk carrying position and a disk non-carrying position with rocking of the roller holder;
- said disk playing base plate is supported in a floating state in the housing having a top and a bottom plate when the disk carrier roller is in the disk non-carrying position;
- and
- when the disk carrier roller is in the disk carrying position, a front and a rear part of the disk playing base plate are restricted against movement in back-and-forth directions in said axis of the disk player, in a lateral direction to said axis of the disk player and in vertical direction of the disk player relative to a housing;
- said roller holder is disposed on said front part of the disk playing base plate;
- said pair of side plates of the roller holder each have a front and a rear roller holder contact part in said axis of the disk player, left and right roller holder contact parts in the lateral directions of the disk player and an upper and a lower roller holder contact part in the vertical directions of the disk player;
- said top and bottom plates of the housing have housing contact parts formed in their front part in said axis of the disk player in correspondence to the roller holder contact parts, respectively;
- and
- when the disk carrier roller is in the disk carrying position, the front part of the disk playing base plate is restricted against movement relative to the housing by the engagement of the roller holder contact parts and the corresponding housing contact parts with one another.
