Player with auto-loading mechanism

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To obtain an auto-loading device where adjustment and assembling are easy and operation is sure, by fitting an auto-loading mechanism having the holding means and the driving means of a disc onto a turntable so that this mechanism may be removed and fitted freely. CONSTITUTION: Panel 3 is fitted to a player main body so that panel 3 may be removed and fitted freely. On panel 3, fixed pulleys 4, 5 and 6 are supported, and rope 37 is stretched across them. In the lower side of panel 3, a disc carrying means is provided which holds disc 16 before reproducing start while positioning the center hole of disc 16 and moves in a face parallel to turntable 17 to put the disc on the turntable. Since the carrying-in and out operation of the disc is performed only in the face parallel to the turntable, the mechanism can be made thin. Further, since the disc carrying part is made into a unit, an auto-loading device easy to adjust and assemble can be obtained. COPYRIGHT: (C)1980,JPO&Japio
