Disk loading device for disk player

摘要

A cartridge loading device for a disk player wherein a disk fed to a regular loading position can be detected with a simple mechanism and also a disk clamping operation can be started only after a disk is moved with certainty to the regular loading position. The device includes a detecting element disposed for engagement by a leading end portion of a disk being fed by a disk feeding mechanism to move in the same direction as the direction of movement of the disk, a motor-driven driving rotary member, a changeover rotary member normally disconnected from the driving member but rotatable to an operative position at which the changeover rotary member is connected to the driving rotary member so that the changeover rotary member is driven to rotate by the driving rotary member, a trigger member disposed for integral movement with the detecting element to rotate the changeover rotary member to the operative position, and a power transmitting mechanism for transmitting the power of rotation of the changeover rotary member by the driving rotary member to operate a clamping mechanism.
