<p>A compact disc loader and transport apparatus (124) for transporting selected compact discs. The loader and transport apparatus of a first embodiment has a plurality of disc engagers (140, 142, 152, 154) for cooperative frictional rotational engagement of a compact disc (126) presented thereto at at least two edge sites of the disc. Each engager is mounted at at a periphery site of a respective motor driven rotatable platform (144, 146, 148, 150) whose rotation in cooperation with the rotation of at least one other platform moves the disc from or to a disc transport position of the apparatus. The apparatus can then travel for delivery and/or further disc retrieval. In a second embodiment, the loader and transport apparatus has two laterally adjacent disc transport positions and the disc can be further transported between transport positions.</p> |
