Disk drive apparatus and electronic appliance

An electronic appliance having a disk drive apparatus that records or reproduces or records and reproduces information signals on a disk recording medium, the disk drive apparatus comprising:

• a disk table on which a disk recording medium inserted into a disk insertion port and loaded is mounted;
• a slider configured to ascend and descend a pickup base configured to movably support an optical pickup that applies a laser light onto the disk recording medium in the radial direction of the disk recording medium;
• an eject lever rotatably supported by a chassis, and having a disk holding part that holds the disk recording medium inserted into the disk insertion port, wherein the eject lever is rotated between a waiting position at which the disk holding part waits for the disk recording medium inserted into the disk insertion port and a drawing position at which the disk recording medium held by the disk holding part is drawn;
• and, the eject lever including a control pin protruding from the eject lever, said control pin controlling the motion of the slider;
• a drive lever coupled to the slider and operated in association with the motion of the slider, the drive lever having an action hole that is formed in a predetermined shape,
• wherein the control pin is inserted into the action hole of the drive lever;
• and
• a support lever rotatably supported by the chassis and having a disk holding part that holds the disk recording medium inserted into the disk insertion port, wherein the support lever is rotated between a waiting position at which the disk holding part waits for the disk recording medium inserted into the disk insertion port and a drawing position at which the disk recording medium held by the disk holding part is drawn,
• wherein in the state in which the eject lever and the support lever are at the waiting positions, the disk holding parts of the eject lever and the support lever are each positioned at a position forward of, in a direction toward the disk insertion port, the disk table.

A disk drive apparatus comprising:

• a disk table on which a disk recording medium inserted into a disk insertion port and loaded is mounted;
• a slider means for ascending and descending a pickup base configured to movably support an optical pickup that applies a laser light onto the disk recording medium in the radial direction of the disk recording medium;
• an ejecting means rotatably supported by a chassis, and having a disk holding part that holds the disk recording medium inserted into the disk insertion port, wherein the ejecting means is rotated between a waiting position at which the disk holding part waits for the disk recording medium inserted into the disk insertion port and a drawing position at which the disk recording medium held by the disk holding part is drawn, the ejecting means including a slider control means protruding from the eject lever, the slider control means controlling the motion of the slider;
• a driving means coupled to the slider means and operated in association with the motion of the slider means, the driving means having an action hole that is formed in a predetermined shape,
• wherein the slider control means is inserted into the action hole of the driving means;
• and
• a supporting means rotatably supported by the chassis and having a disk holding part that holds the disk recording medium inserted into the disk insertion port, wherein the supporting means is rotated between a waiting position at which the disk holding part waits for the disk recording medium inserted into the disk insertion port and a drawing position at which the disk recording medium held by the disk holding part is drawn,
• wherein in the state in which the ejecting means and the supporting means are at the waiting positions, the disk holding parts of the ejecting means and the supporting means are each positioned at a position forward of, in a direction toward the disk insertion port, a centering projecting part of the disk table.
