Abstract: A disk storage medium processing apparatus includes at least an apparatus body having a disk loading/unloading slot, a traverse unit which is disposed in the apparatus body to conduct at least one of recording, deletion, and reproduction of information onto or from a disk, and a disk conveying device which conveys the disk into the apparatus body when a part of the disk is inserted through the disk loading/unloading slot and which ejects a part of the disk through the disk loading/unloading slot from a state that the disk is housed in the apparatus body. A control device controls the disk conveying device. The control device includes a single control member for controlling conveyance of the disk by the disk conveying means, for centering of the disk relative to the traverse unit, and for clamping or unclamping the disk relative to a turn table of the traverse unit.

Abstract: A disk storage medium processing apparatus includes an apparatus body having a disk loading/unloading slot, a traverse unit which is disposed in the apparatus body to conduct at least one of recording, deletion, and reproduction of information onto or from a disk, and a clamper supporting device for supporting a clamper which clamps the disk to the traverse unit. A disk conveying device conveys the disk into the apparatus body when a part of the disk is inserted through the disk loading/unloading slot and which ejects a part of the disk through the disk loading/unloading slot from a state that the disk is housed in the apparatus body. The disk conveying device includes a pair of first and second disk conveying arms which are pivotably attached to the apparatus body and holding a periphery of the disk to convey the disk.

Abstract: A disk storage medium processing apparatus includes a disk conveying device for conveying a disk between a disk loading/unloading slot of an apparatus body and a centering position of a traverse unit. The disk conveying device includes a pair of first and second disk guide arms which are pivotably disposed on the apparatus body and which can hold the periphery of the disk to convey the disk. Therefore, the disk storage medium processing apparatus can easily and flexibly conduct the control for conveyance of the disk no matter whether the disk has a small diameter or a large diameter, with keeping protection of the recording surface of the disk and can be formed more compactly.

Abstract: A disk storage medium processing apparatus includes an apparatus body having a disk loading/unloading slot, a traverse unit disposed in the apparatus body, a disk conveying device which conveys the disk into or from the apparatus body, and a control device for controlling the disk conveying device. The disk conveying device includes first through third disk conveying arms pivotably attached to the apparatus body to hold a periphery of the disk to convey. The control device includes a trigger setting device for setting trigger for starting control of the disk conveying device according to a diameter of the disk. The trigger setting device moves in a vertical direction according to an amount of pivotal movement of at least one of the first through third disk conveying arms, and sets the trigger.

Abstract: A disk storage medium processing apparatus of the present invention comprises a disk conveying means for conveying a disk 7 between a disk loading/unloading slot 6 of an apparatus body 2 and a centering position of a traverse unit 4. The disk conveying means comprises a pair of first and second disk guide arms 11 and 12 which are pivotably disposed on the apparatus body 2 and which can hold the periphery of the disk 7 to convey the disk 7. Therefore, the disk storage medium processing apparatus can easily and flexibly conduct the control for conveyance of the disk, whether the disk has a small diameter or a large diameter, with keeping protection of the recording surface of the disk and can be formed more compactly.

Abstract: To provide a loading device in a magnetooptical disc recording apparatus having a sufficiently wide space for the magnetooptical disc between an elevation mechanism and a driving unit without positioning a holder lever constituting the elevation mechanism between a clamper and the driving unit, and a space for avoiding contact between the holder lever and the magnetooptical disc, an elevation mechanism and a plurality of holder levers are disposed removably in a radially outward direction to be substantially flush with the clamper and adapted to give a vertical motion and a opening and closing operation in a radial direction to the holder lever in cooperation with the rotation of the clamper base. When the magnetooptical disc is loaded or unloaded, the clamper is moved upwardly by engagement with the holder lever to maintain said sufficient space.
