Abstract: Since the gate construction in a disk device having slot-in format is a single layer of felt in which a single article slit is formed, but the disk maintenance force is weak, and variable. The objective is to provide, on the gate 2 of the disk device 3, a 1st elastic felt 6 on which is formed a single article slit 4 and multiple intersecting slits 5, and a 2nd felt 7 which is fixedly adhered to the rear surface of the 1st felt 6, the elasticity of which is weaker than that of the 1st felt 6. A surface sheet 9 on which is formed a disk transmitting aperture 8 may be also fixedly adhered to the front surface of the 1st felt 6. In order to adjust the hardness by weakening the elasticity of the 2nd felt 7, on the 2nd felt 7, a greater number of intersecting slits 5 may be formed than are existence on the 1st felt 6. In addition, multiple cutouts 10 may also be formed on the single article slit 4 of the 2nd felt 7.

Abstract: Disclosed is a disk player using a single motor in common for driving a disk tray and optical pickup. Controlled reciprocation of the disk tray and the data-reproducing operation subsequent to withdrawal of the disk tray into the housing can be performed by the “L”-shaped guide slot made in the disk tray, a cam rod operatively connected to the “L”-shaped guide slot, and the drive switching gear assembly operatively connected to the cam rod and the first train of gears for driving the disk tray. All of these parts work together so that the single drive motor may switch and drive the first train of gears for driving the disk tray or the second train of gears for driving the optical pickup. A cam position-detecting switch is operatively connected to the cam rod for detecting arrival of the cam rod at either terminal of its travel, that is, the gear train connecting or gear train-disconnecting position.
