  • Patent number: 8059520
    Abstract: A device and a method for automatically turning over a disc relate to a guide rod provided with a movable member. The movable member is assembled to a rotating member via a pivot member in such a manner that the movable member can axially move along and radially rotate around the guide rod. The pivot member is disposed between the movable member and the rotating member and powered to rotate. The rotating member is provided with a disc-carrying device in a direction of its rotation around the pivot member for taking the disc. The pivot member drives the disc to rotate via the rotating member, so as to turn over the disc, so that the rotating member makes the disc slide down into the tray in an inclined manner.

  • Patent number: 7779432
    Abstract: An automatic disk feeding device for disk duplication system and method thereof which comprises two transport assemblies disposed at both sides of a disc holder. Each transport assembly comprises a linkage disk which drives a connecting rod to rotate, and then the connecting rod moves a sliding block which cooperates with a push member and a slide rail to slide. The sliding block is defined with slant pushing grooves, and the slide rail is defined with L-shaped tracks. The push member is provided with pushing protrusions and guiding protrusions inserted in the pushing grooves and the L-shaped tracks. Thereby, the push members can clamp the disc by a horizontal extending method firstly, and then lift the disc, thus automatically taking out the disc in a small space.

  • Patent number: 7509660
    Abstract: The disc retrieval and release apparatus and method has a retrieve and release member for retrieving and releasing a disc for processing. The retrieve and release member releases one of the discs into and retrieves it from a wait processing region where the upper side of the disc tray is. The retrieve and release member enters and exits the wait processing region slantwise when the moving arm moves thereto. Thus, the embodiment releases the unprocessed disc into the wait processing region, and then retrieves the processed disc from the wait processing region after the unprocessed disc is processed. Thus, the discs are retrieved from a disc tray of the optical drive that extends out completely or incompletely, and they are released into the disc tray easily.
