DISC LOADING MECHANISM

PURPOSE:To simplify the mechanism and to make the entire size compact by interlocking two vertical moving mechanisms moving vertically a clamper and a disc holder while each engaging element is engaged, and making the holder descend when the clamper is descended. CONSTITUTION:After the holder 10A holding a disc is descended and the disc is placed on a turntable 7, the disc is pressed onto the turntable 7 by the clamper 8 on it, and in such a disc loading mechanism, a push pin 12A of the clamper 8 and a push face 16 of the holder 10A are engaged, a fulcrum 13A is turned and the clamper 8 is turned in the arrow C, then the push pin 12A turns the push face 16 in the arrow B. Thus, the holder 10A is turned toward the arrow D and dropped. Through the constitution above, the mechanism interlocking the movement of the clamper 8 and the disc holder 10A is realized with a simple mechanism.
