Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1, 2, and 3 are a perspective view, a partial cross-sectional side view, and a partial cross-sectional side view of an essential part showing an embodiment of a disc player of the present invention, respectively. In the figure, reference numeral 100 denotes a disc player of the present invention.
Has a door (opening / closing lid) 1 for closing the housing 2. The door 1 can be opened and closed by using the shaft 4 as a fulcrum by engaging an intermediate portion of a swing arm 3 vertically provided at both rear ends of the door with a shaft 4 projecting at both rear ends in the housing 2. A disk retainer 5 is mounted near the front edge of the inner surface thereof.

On the other hand, in the housing 2, the front edge portion of the disk guide 8 on which the disk 6 can be loaded on the turntable 7 is supported by shafts 9 projecting from both front end portions of the housing 2. It is pivotally supported. Arms 10 are vertically provided on both side rear edges of the disc guide 8.
The lower ends of the rocking arms and the lower ends of the swinging arms 3 are connected to each other via links 11. Axis 9 height and arm 1
The length of 0 means that the disc guide 8 is closed when the door 1 is closed.
Is substantially horizontal, and the mounted disk 6 is mounted on the turntable 7. The swing arm 3, the shaft 4, the arm 10, and the link 11 constitute a guide elevating means 20. Reference numeral 12 denotes a turntable motor, and inside the housing 2, other known mechanisms such as a pickup, a drive mechanism, and a control mechanism are provided in addition to the turntable motor 12 although they are not shown. There is.

Next, the operation will be described. In the disc player 100 having the above-described structure, when the door 1 is opened, the swing arm 3 swings about the shaft 4 as shown in FIG. 1, and the link 11 and the arm 10 connected to the lower end of the swing arm 3 are connected. The disk guide 8 inclines forward and downward around the shaft 9 as a fulcrum, the disk mounting surface of the disk guide 8 inclines forward, and the disk 6 can be easily mounted and taken out and is damaged. Can be reduced. In addition, in front of the disc guide 8, a recess 8 is formed.
Since a is provided, the loading and unloading of the disc 6 can be further facilitated. When the disc 6 is placed on the disc guide 8 and the door 1 is closed, the disc guide 8 becomes substantially horizontal and the disc 6 is loaded on the turntable 7, as shown by the solid line in FIG.
And it is pushed down by the disc retainer 5.

Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is apparent that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Is. For example, in the above embodiment, the disk guide 8 is pivotally supported at the front edge portion by the support shaft 9, and the rear edge portion is interlocked with the opening and closing of the door 1 and is tilted downward by the guide elevating means 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the guide elevating means may be configured so that the disc guide 8 moves up / down in a substantially horizontal state.

[0011]

As described above, according to the disc player of the present invention, since the disc guide moves up and down in conjunction with the opening and closing of the door, the loading and unloading of the disc is facilitated and the disc is damaged. Can be prevented.
