Abstract: Improvement is made in a known automatic mechanism provided for automatic pickup arm returning or for automatic record disk changing. In order to perform the known automatic operation, a single complete revolution of a gear is utilized. The gear engages a driving pinion, which rotates with a turntable, after completion of play to effect rotation of the gear for one revolution. The intention of the present invention is to ensure this engagement between the driving pinion and the gear by providing a frictional member between a pair of pawls which effect engagement of the gear. The frictional member is sheetlike and has one uneven surface to prevent excessively high frictional forces and seizure between the pawls and to reduce variations in the coefficient of friction.
