The present invention is concerned with a disc loading mechanism for a disc driving apparatus (23) including a disc transport member having a tray (8) for setting a disc (24) on it and substantially translationally movable between an open position in which the disc (24) may be attached to or detached from the tray (8) and a closed position in which the disc (24) is positioned on a turntable (2) adapted for rotationally driving the disc (24), a turntable supporting member (4) having the turntable (2) and operatively linked to movement of the disc transport member towards a closed position for being moved substantially parallel to the disc transport member to a loading position in which the disc (24) is positioned on the turntable (2), and a guide (7) for being engaged with and guiding a guided member (4b, 4c) provided on the turntable supporting member (4) and for moving the turntable (2) towards the tray (8) into engagement with the turntable (2) when the turntable supporting member (4b, 4c) is moved to the loading position in unison with the disc transport member. The disc loading mechanism is operatively linked with the movement of the disc transport member for being moved in the direction in which a disc table supporting base plate having a disc table is moved towards and away from the disc transport member and in the direction of movement of the disc transport member for loading the disc (24) set on the disc transport member on the disc table as the disc supporting base plate is moved towards the closed position. <IMAGE> |
