A disk clamp apparatus includes a first centering member for positioning a center of a first side of the disk set on the turntable, a clamper member provided so as to be opposed to the first centering member across the turntable and the disk, an attraction force generating mechanism for clamping the disk on the turntable by attraction force, a clamper member turning mechanism for turning the clamper member in order to change over a clamp mode between a first clamp mode in which the disk is clamped with the first side of the disk centrally positioned, and a second clamp mode in which the disk is clamped with the second side of the disk centrally positioned. The clamper member includes a disk supporting part for supporting a second side of the disk when the first side of the disk is centrally positioned by the first centering member, and second centering mechanism for centrally positioning the second side of the disk. The second centering mechanism cancels the centering operation with respect to the first side of the disk by the first centering means, and centrally positions the second side of the disk by the attraction force when the first clamp mode is switched to the second clamp mode.
摘要:
The object is to prevent the erroneous insertion of a disk cartridge in a direction 90 degrees different from the correct direction while suppressing an increase in the number of components and to smoothly and securely transfer the disk cartridge. There is provided a lock lever capable of locking the cartridge while being pivotally supported by a slider that transfers the cartridge between a mounting and dismounting position and an insertion completed position with respect to a holder. The lock lever pivots while being engaged with the disk cartridge that is being inserted, and a first pivot amount when the cartridge is being inserted with a wide width of insertion in the correct direction is set smaller than a second pivot amount when the disk cartridge is being inserted with a narrow width of insertion in the incorrect direction. The holder is provided with a stop rib that allows the movement of the lock lever in the direction in which the cartridge is inserted in the case of the first pivot amount and prevents the movement in the case of the second pivot amount.

The object is to provide an effect when a cartridge is erroneously inserted in a direction 180 degrees different from the correct direction of the cartridge to prevent the cartridge from further advancing in the earliest possible stage of insertion and secure the longest possible stroke of automatic transfer of the cartridge. There is provided a slider for transferring a disk cartridge that is being inserted between the mounting and dismounting position and the insertion completed position while moving together with the disk cartridge with respect to the holder for guiding and holding the cartridge. The slider is provided with a projection that faces a specified side portion of the disk cartridge extending in the direction in which the cartridge is inserted and allows the insertion of the cartridge while being slidably fitted in a groove provided on the side portion of the disk cartridge extending in the direction in which the cartridge is inserted when the disk cartridge is being inserted in the correct direction and prevents the further advancing of the disk cartridge when the cartridge is being inserted in an incorrect direction with same width of insertion.

The object is to simplify the construction of a chassis that serves as a mounting base for the principal components of a disk drive and improve the dimensional accuracy and form accuracy of the chassis for the improvement of the productivity in the work of assembling the disk drive. The disk drive is provided with a recording and reproducing unit for recording or reproducing information on a minidisk encased in a disk cartridge, a holder for holding the disk cartridge, a loading unit capable of transferring the disk cartridge between a mounting and dismounting position where the disk cartridge can be mounted on or dismounted from the holder and a recording and reproducing position of the recording and reproducing unit, drive mechanisms capable of driving the loading unit and a flat-plate-shaped chassis that serves as a mounting base for these principal components. The chassis is set to a specified thickness, and its base portion is formed flat throughout its entire surface except for a hole portion and/or a cut portion.

A disk drive is provided for restraining deterioration of verticality of the optical axis of an optical pickup in relation to the surface of the disk when the side of the disk to be scanned for the recording and/or reproducing action is alternated from one side to the other side, in recording and/or reproducing data signals on both sides of the disk. The disk drive (1) includes a turn table (11) on which a disk D is rotatably supported, a pickup (12) for recording and/or reproducing data signals on both sides of the disk D rotated by the turn table (11), and a disk tray (31) for transferring the disk D between a recording and reproducing position which confronts the turn table (11) and a loading and unloading position at the outside of the disk drive (1), wherein there is provided a turning movement mechanism for turning the turn table (11) and the pickup (12) at once from a first position which confronts the one side of the disk D to a second position which confronts the other side of the disk D or vice versa.
