摘要:
A transport mechanism for an optical disc cartridge capable of discharging an optical disc cartridge to a predetermined position by making a transport roller in pressure contact with the optical disc cartridge even if the cartridge is erroneously inserted. A transport roller (5) is supported by an arm (4). When the transport roller (5) is made in pressure contact with the side wall of an optical disc cartridge, the cartridge is transported. A guide arm (12) is rotatively mounted which projects into an optical disc cartridge transport path between the transport roller (5) and a disc insertion port. If the optical disc cartridge is inserted in a normal orientation, the guide arm (12) is rotated by the optical disc cartridge to rotate the arm (4) in the clockwise direction to allow the optical disc cartridge to be inserted, whereas if the optical disc cartridge is inserted in an orientation rotated by 90 DEG from the normal orientation, the transport roller is made in pressure contact with the side wall of the optical disc cartridge.

Disclosed is an elevating apparatus of a spindle assembly (16) of a disc player for adjusting height of the spindle assembly (16) to rotate a minidisc and a compact disc which are mounted on a minidisc tray and a compact disc tray, respectively. The spindle assembly (16) having a turntable (14) for rotating the disc mounted on the tray is secured thereto to reciprocate vertically in a first direction. The elevating apparatus is secured to a lower portion of the base plate to reciprocate in a horizontal direction of a second direction perpendicular to the first direction thereby to move vertically the spindle assembly (16). An actuation apparatus is provided thereon to move backwards and forwards the elevating apparatus. In the compact and minidisc player capable of selective reproduction operation, height difference between a minidisc mounting surface and a compact disc mounting surface can be compensated.

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 data storage device (40) for receiving a removable disk cartridge (10) comprises first and second members (70, 72) movably mounted in the data storage device. Each movable member is adapted to perform a respective function within the disk drive. A first spring (90) is coupled to the first movable member (70) for biasing the first movable member in a first direction, and a second spring (92) is coupled to the second movable member (72) for biasing the second movable member in the same direction. A single electro-mechanical device (74) has a drive shaft (76) that engages the first and second movable members at different positions during its travel from an extended position to a retracted position. By applying different currents to the electro-mechanical device (74), the first and second movable members can be operated independently. The data storage device therefore can achieve two functions using only a single electro-mechanical device.

摘要:
A disk transport mechanism for moving disks into a disk-player transports disks between an eject position and a playback or storage position inside the disk-player. The tray passes through an opening in the disk-player when it moves from the eject position to the playback or storage position. The disk transport mechanism carries the disk on a tray with a circular recess which locates the disk precisely in the tray. A disk improperly placed in the tray, so that it rests on a ridge around the circular recess, could cause damage when the tray passes through the opening. To prevent this, the transport mechanism abruptly accelerates the tray during movement into the disk-player by momentarily halting or reversing a drive motor of the disk transport mechanism. The acceleration of the tray causes any improperly mounted disk to fall into the circular recess before the disk can jam in the opening, thereby preventing injury to the disk or the disk-player.
