Description of the Related Art As a loading mechanism of a disc player for both mini discs and compact discs, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-296499 "Mini disc and compact disc player", and as a loading mechanism for a single mini disc will be described later. The mechanism shown in FIG. 13 is known. The above is shown in FIG.
In order to carry in a compact disk, the compact disk tray 20 is slidably arranged on the base plate 16 and a mini disk cartridge (hereinafter abbreviated as “MD cartridge”) accommodating a mini disk is carried in as shown in FIG. The mini disk tray 34 is slidably arranged in the compact disk tray 20, and a part of the side wall of the compact disk tray 20 is opened to open the mini disk cartridge insertion opening 5
1 and a part of the side wall of the mini disc tray 34 is opened to provide a mini disc cartridge insertion opening 50. That is, the rotating parts of the mini disk and the compact disk are vertically arranged on the chassis, and the pickup for both the mini disk and the compact disk is slidably arranged between these rotating parts. It has a tray.

FIGS. 13A to 13D are views showing an example of a conventional loading mechanism for a single mini disc.
(A) shows a conventional loading mechanism 100 for a mini disc, a mini disc cartridge 101 (hereinafter referred to as "M disc").
It is abbreviated as "D cartridge 101". ) Shows the state before insertion. The loading mechanism 100 includes a mini disk holder 102, a transfer frame 103 slidably mounted on the mini disk holder 102, and a transfer unit (not shown) for moving the transfer frame 103.
Consists of. The MD cartridge 101 includes recesses 101a and 101a for carrying and a shutter 101b. The transport frame 103 includes a pair of clampers 104 and 104 for fitting into the recesses 101a and 101a of the MD cartridge 101, and tension springs 105 and 105 that apply a force to the clampers 104 and 104 outward. . The arrow a indicates the insertion direction of the MD cartridge 101.

(B) shows the mini disc holder 102 with an M
It shows that when the D cartridge 101 is inserted, the MD cartridge 101 pushes and opens the tips of the clampers 104, 104 outward as indicated by arrow b. In (c), when the MD cartridge 101 is further pushed, the tips of the clampers 104, 104 are recessed in the MD cartridge 101 as indicated by arrow c.
1a and 101a have been fitted. (D) shows that the carrying frame (103) is moved by the carrying means (not shown) as shown by the arrow d, and the loading of the MD cartridge 101 is completed. Although only the loading operation has been described in the above description and the operation of opening the shutter 101b of the MD cartridge 101 is omitted, a mechanism for opening the shutter 101b by the time the loading is completed is added.

[0005]

However, the above technique requires a depth because it is a tray system, and it is difficult to downsize a disc player for both mini discs and compact discs. Further, the MD cartridge and the compact disc each require a dedicated tray, which increases the cost. Since the above-mentioned technique is a mechanism dedicated to loading the MD cartridge, another mechanism for loading the compact disc is required, and it is difficult to use the loading mechanism for the dual-purpose disc player.

It is an object of the present invention to reduce the size and weight of the loading mechanism of the disc player for both mini discs and compact discs, thereby reducing the size and weight of the disc player for both mini discs and compact discs.

[0007]
