Information disc loading and unloading mechanism for information device

摘要

The loading and unloading mechanism has a pair of guides (12,16) with respective grooves (13,18) for receiving the opposing edges of the information disc (2). One of the guides is provided with a driven transport wheel (16) for rolling the disc in the loading and unloading direction. The grooves provided by both guides may each have at least one pressure surface (59,60 and 67,68) which is angled relative to the loading plane (25), with a minimum groove width which is less than the thickness of the information disc, to prevent contact with the surfaces of the disc during loading and unloading.
