Abstract:
A disk player and/or guide device including a disk slot for inserting a disk, a disk playing space provided in an inner side of disk slot, and a turntable and a damper for disk which are movable between a retreated position retreated from a disk play position and a disk holding position. The disk slot is formed at a position which is deviated in the direction of a disk rotation shaft from the disk play position in the disk playing space. The disk inserted obliquely into the disk slot is carried obliquely toward the disk play position and, at disk play position, the disk is held by the turntable and the damper in the disk playing space, thereby the inclination of the disk is cancelled to set the disk in a play attitude.
Abstract:
A disk carrying device including a transporting roller for carrying a disk, a turntable and a damper for holding the disk, a trigger plate moved by carrying of the disk to a chucking position for changing a transmission route of driving force from the transporting roller to a cam plate, a first biasing means for urging the trigger plate to a position before moving, a guide base for pressing the disk on the transporting roller, an arm roller disposed on an opposite side of the guide base with respect to the transporting roller so as to move the guide base apart from the transporting roller, and a second biasing means disposed between the guide base and the arm roller. The second biasing means is extended when the disk is present between the guide base and the transporting roller and generates urging force pulling the guide base to the transporting roller.
Abstract:
A cam structure is equipped with a first cam that displaces a first follower section in a radial direction, a second follower section that rotates with the first cam and has at least three support pins, and a second cam that displaces the second follower section in an axial direction. The first cam is formed from divided segments defining at least three arcuate surfaces with different radiuses and sloped connection surfaces that connect the arcuate surfaces and are provided in ranges that give appropriate pressure angles with respect to the first follower section, and the second cam is provided with cam sections, each of the cam sections being divided in the radial direction in the number corresponding to the number of the support pins. The divided cam sections of the second cam are disposed at positions arranged in a circumferential direction in a manner that displacements in the axial direction of the second follower section are timed with displacements in the radial direction of the first follower section.
Abstract:
A carriage ejection mechanism has a drawer, which moves back and forth between a stock position and an eject position, a plurality of carriages contained inside the drawer in a slidable manner in the direction in which the drawer moves and in a vertically stacked manner, and a slide control device that slides the carriages relative to the drawer. The slide control device slides upper carriages relatively more towards the stock position than the lower carriages such that the plurality of carriages are positioned successively staggered in a stair-like manner in the eject position.
Abstract:
Provision of a disc loading apparatus for a disc player, which permits a disc being inserted to be safely pulled out without being held between a turntable and a clamper. A clamper supporting member having an engagement portion carries the clamper, and a stopper is disposed on the line of movement of the engagement portion. The stopper is normally at a preventing position of being in contact with the engagement portion to prevent the clamper from approaching the turntable. When a disc has been inserted up to a position that it can be held on the turntable, it pushes the stopper to an approach allowable position to allow the clamper to approach the turntable. When the clamper approaches the turntable, the stopper is pushed by the engagement portion of the clamper supporting member to a retreated position, at which the stopper is out of contact with the disc.
Abstract:
This invention provides a disc player in which a disc can be taken out readily and without possibility for the disc to fall out when unloading the disc. A Transfer apparatus pushes back a disc located in a playing portion up to a position, at which the center hole of the disc at least partly projects from a disc insertion slot. An elastic holding mechanism elastically holds a portion of the disc, having been pushed back, on the outer side of a recording area from the opposite sides of the disc, thus preventing the falling-out of the disc.
Abstract:
A pick-up mechanism for a disk-type record medium reproduction apparatus is disclosed. This mechanism is suitable for use in a compact disk player and employs a plate spring to connect a nut mounted on a pick-up moving screw with the pick-up unit. Pressure contacts mounted on the outer surface of the nut and on the front end of the plate spring, steady the nut and eliminate gaps between the nut and the pick-up screw. By eliminating these gaps, information can be read from the disk with increased precision.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a thin tape recorder of which the chassis is mounted aslant in a case body of a tape recorder case, that is, the chassis declines with an approximate gradient of (L.sub.1 -L.sub.2)/2L so that the space between the chassis and a front wall of the cover becomes gradually wide toward the magnetic head, where L.sub.1 is the thickness of the front end of the tape cassette, L.sub.2 is the thickness of the rear end of the tape cassette, and L is the length from the rear end of a thick portion to the rear end of a thin portion.
Abstract:
A tape recorder of the automatic reversing type which can attain reduction in time required and simplification in structure for turning over of a magnetic head and wherein possible dislocation of a magnetic head which is apt to readily appear where a head turning over system is employed can be prevented assuredly. The tape recorder comprises a head mount and a magnetic head structure mounted for rotation around an axis in the head mount and including a magnetic head. Each time the feeding direction of the tape is to be reversed, the magnetic head structure is rotated by an angle of 180 degrees to turn over the magnetic head from one to another track of a tape in a tape cassette loaded in position in the tape recorder with the magnetic head held in contact with the tape. A pair of fixed tape guides for contacting with the tape to inhibit lateral widthwise movement of the tape are secured at opposite positions of the head mount with respect to the magnetic head.
