Loading tray for optical disk drive in upright position

摘要

A loading tray for optical disk drive in upright position is disclosed. A disk-supporting surface and a disk-contacting surface is designed on the tray as a single component. The disk-supporting surface is an upright slanting surface or a curved surface. Thereby, with the help of the special shape designed on the tray surface, the weight of a disk can be automatically guided to be as a pushing force for mounting the optical disk toward the disk contacting surface so that the disk can be attached tightly on the tray free of dropping out. The loading device can accommodate either thin or thick disk conformed to the Red Book of CD. The utility of the present design make a disk loaded more efficiently and reduce the possibility of scratching or damaging the data surface of the disk.
