Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a cabinet device, and is suitable for use in, for example, a video disc player.

When loading a video disc into a video disc player, insert the video disc inside the jacket into the player's insertion slot, and then pull out the jacket to leave only the video disc inside the player. A player that can do this has been developed.

In this type of video disc player, if a play operation or other operation is mistakenly performed with the jacket inserted, it may cause a malfunction.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and aims to provide a cabinet device that can realize means for preventing unnecessary erroneous operations with a simple configuration.

Examples of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 indicates a cabinet body of a video disc player to which this invention is applied.

The cabinet main body 11 has a substantially box-like appearance, and is integrated with a lower cabinet 12 and an upper cabinet 13 stacked one on top of the other so that their openings align with each other.

The front side wall 14 of the upper cabinet 13 has an inclined surface 1
5, and this inclined surface 15 has a side wall 14
A recessed portion 16 having an abbreviated cross-section is formed in the longitudinal direction.

In the recessed portion 16, the lower flat surface is set in the horizontal direction and also serves as a jacket guide portion 17.

Next, in the recessed portion 16, a jacket insertion opening 18 is set in the shape of a horizontally elongated slit at the front end when viewed from the front.

Further, a brush 19, for example, is provided at the entrance of the jacket insertion port 18 to prevent dust and the like from entering.

Further, in the center of the jacket guide portion 17 in the left and right longitudinal direction, a stepped portion 20 is formed in a concave shape downwardly, and is large enough to allow a hand holding the jacket to pass through.

Furthermore, when viewed from the front of this jacket guide section 17, on the upper surface on the right side, there are one-sided piano keys S1 to Sn.
are arranged in multiple arrays.

The cabinet device of this invention is constructed as described above, and when the jacket is inserted into the jacket insertion slot 18, none of the operators S1 to Sn can be operated, and the player cannot be prepared. This prevents erroneous operations when the settings are not in order.

Figure 2 shows the jacket 2 inserted into the jacket insertion slot 18 mentioned above.
1 is inserted.

In this state, the jacket 21 is
Since it is located so as to cover the upper part of the n, it is impossible to operate it, and erroneous operation is prevented.

The functions that operate in response to the operation of the video disc player include a normal image playback function, a repeat playback function (still image playback), an arm fast forward and return function, and a stop function.

Moreover, the operators located at the bottom of the jacket are not limited to all the operators, and operators that should not be operated when the jacket is inserted may be arranged.

According to the above-described cabinet structure, it is possible to omit electrical circuit means for preventing erroneous operation of the video disc player.

Furthermore, compared to electrical erroneous operation prevention means, since it is a simple structural erroneous operation prevention means, it is not affected by temperature or humidity, and is inexpensive and highly reliable.

Next, the mechanism of the above video disc player will be briefly explained.

A video disk 22 used in this apparatus can be inserted into and removed from a thin box-shaped jacket 21 through an opening 21A thereof, as shown in FIG.

A notch 21B is formed on the side of the jacket 21 forming the opening 21A.

The internal video disc 22 is inserted through this notch 21B.
can be pinched.

Next, inside the player, as shown in FIG. 4, by placing the video disc 22 on a turntable 23 and rotating it, image reproduction can be obtained.

Here, when the video disc 22 is placed on the turntable 23 or when it is taken out of the player from the placed state, an automatic disc loading/unloading device is activated.

FIG. 4a shows a state in which the jacket 21 and the disk 21 are inserted from the jacket insertion opening.

When the jacket 21 is inserted to a predetermined position, a disc clamping device 25 using a plunger mounted on the plate 24 clamps a part of the disc 22 through the notch 21B of the jacket.

The plate 24 has a frame shape, for example, is arranged horizontally, and is horizontally moved up and down by a lifting drive device 26 using a worm gear or the like.

If the jacket 21 is pulled out from the jacket insertion opening 18 after the disc clamping device 25 has clamped the disc 22 from the state shown in FIG. 4a, only the disc 22 will remain inside the player as shown in FIG. Become.

Next, the elevating drive device 26 operates to move the plate 24 to the bottom of the turntable 23.

Also, at this time, the disc holding device 25 holds the disc 22
release.

Therefore, the disc 22 is placed on the turntable 23 as shown in FIG. 4c.

If a play operation is performed in this state, the turntable 2
3 rotates and the arm extends over the disk to reproduce images.

When the disc 22 is to be taken out next, the disc holding device 25 clamps the disc, and the elevating drive device 26 raises the plate 24, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 4.

When the empty jacket 21 is inserted horizontally from the jacket insertion opening 18, the clamping device releases the disc, and the disc is housed in the jacket as shown in FIG. 4a.

If the jacket 21 is pulled out in this state, the jacket can be pulled out with the disc stored therein.

According to this invention described above, it is possible to provide a cabinet device that can realize means for preventing unnecessary erroneous operations with a simple configuration.
