Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a disc holding device for a disc player that uses a disc-shaped record carrier such as a video disc, an audio disc, or a record. By providing a disk erroneous insertion prevention member continuously to the disk insertion opening of the disk pocket, there is no risk of damaging the disk and internal mechanism by accidentally inserting the disk inside the disk pocket.

Furthermore, by forming the disc erroneous insertion prevention member with a bellows that sucks in or blows out air as the door panel is opened and closed, it can also be used as a buffer member for the door panel.

Conventionally, in order to reduce the depth of the disk player, so-called vertical disk players have been known in which the disks are arranged vertically for playback, but in such devices, the disks are clamped to a disk rotation means. The operation of attaching and detaching the clamper while holding the disk with one hand was cumbersome.

Therefore, the applicant provided a disk pocket and a clamper to a disk holding device rotatably supported between a disk attachment/detachment position and a disk playback position, and inserted the disk into the disk pocket at the disk attachment/detachment position. have already developed a disk player in which a disk can be clamped to a disk rotation means by simply rotating the disk holding device to the disk playback position.

However, since the disk insertion slot of the disk pocket is narrow and the inside of the disk pocket 3 is wide open as shown in Fig. 1, it is easy to accidentally insert the disk 6 into this area. If the door panel 2 is closed without noticing this, there is a risk of damaging the disc or the internal mechanism of the disc player.

The purpose of this invention is to prevent the disk from being inserted anywhere other than the disk pocket in such a disk holding device.

An embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIG.

A door panel 2 is pivotally supported at its lower end on the front side of the player cabinet 1 (on the left side in the figure) and rotates between the disk attachment/detachment position shown in figure A and the disk playback position shown in figure B. I'm starting to do that.

A disk pocket 3 is provided inside the door panel 2, and a disk erroneous insertion prevention plate 5 having an arcuate cross section is provided continuously to a disk insertion opening 4 at the upper part of the disk pocket 3.

Therefore, at the disk attachment/detachment position (see A in the same figure), the space between the disk pocket 3 and the player cabinet 1 is covered by the disk erroneous insertion prevention plate 5, so that the disk 6 cannot be inserted in a place other than the disk insertion slot 4. There is no risk of it being inserted.

At the disc playback position (FIG. 2B), the disc erroneous insertion prevention plate 5 is housed within the player cabinet 1 and is not visible from the outside.

Incidentally, if the right and left sides of the disk misinsertion prevention plate 5 are allowed to hang down to cover the openings formed on both sides when the door panel 1 is opened, dirt and dust can be prevented from entering the player cabinet 1. You can also do that.

What is shown in FIG. 3 is another embodiment of this invention.

The door panel 2 is always urged in the opening direction by a spring 7, and is locked by a locking plate 8 in the disk playback position (b) of the figure, and is unlocked by urging a plunger 9 to open the door panel. It's becoming like that.

One end of a bellows 10 is fixed to the upper end of the rear surface of the disk pocket 3 instead of the disk erroneous insertion prevention plate 5, and the other end is fixed to the player cabinet 1.

At the disk attachment/detachment position (FIG. 1A), the bellows 10 covers the opening between the disk pocket 3 and the player cabinet 1, and acts as a member to prevent incorrect insertion of the disk.

A small air hole 11 is provided at the rear end of the bellows 10, and as the door panel is opened and closed, the bellows expands and contracts to suck in or blow out air from the air hole, thereby buffering the opening and closing operation of the door panel 1.

It is also possible to provide the air hole 11 with a well-known valve that changes the flow rate depending on the direction of air flow to reduce the resistance when closing the door panel.

As explained above, the disk holding device of this invention has a member to prevent incorrect disk insertion, which is continuous to the disk insertion opening of the disk pocket provided in the door panel, so that the disk cannot be accidentally inserted inside the disk pocket. This eliminates the risk of damaging the disc or the internal mechanism of the disc player.

Furthermore, by making the disc erroneous insertion prevention member a bellows with small air holes, it can also be used as a shock absorbing member for the door panel.

In the above embodiment, the disc erroneous insertion prevention member completely covers the upper part of the opening of the door panel, but the point is to prevent the erroneous insertion of the disc, so for example, it is partially The purpose of this invention can be sufficiently achieved just by providing the following.
