Patent number: 5014258Abstract: A multi-disc player having means for preventing a disc magazine from being inserted upsidedown. The disc player includes a magazine holder, means for taking a disc tray out of a magazine accommodated in the holder, a turntable, a disc clamper and playback means. The magazine has a front face formed with a surface at one portion and formed with a stepped portion at another portion. The preventing means includes a magazine ejector arm pivotally supported on the magazine holder, and a biasing spring for urging the ejector arm in a direction to eject the magazine out of the magazine holder. If the magazine ejector arm is in contact with the surface, the ejector arm can be fully pivotted because of manual pushing force applied to the magazine. However, if the magazine ejector arm is in contact with the stepped portion due to the insertion of the magazine upsidedown, the ejector arm is lockingly engaged with the stepped portion to terminate its pivotal motion prior to reaching its fully pivotted position.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1989Date of Patent: May 7, 1991Assignee: Pioneer Electronic Corp.Inventors: Kaoru Takemasa, Akira Takahashi, Masahiko Kawamura, Sigeo Maruyama, Tokushige Kon

Patent number: 4739424Abstract: A cassette tape loading and ejecting mechanism in a tape player for playing back tapes using a driving force of a main motor. The mechanism includes a sun gear provided in part of a mechanism for transmitting the driving force of the main motor. A stationary ring gear is arranged coaxially with the sun gear. A carrier is mounted on a shaft coaxially with the sun gear and is engaged by friction with the sun gear. A planet gear supported by the carrier engages the sun gear and the ring gear. A slot-in type tape cassette holder is driven by the forward and reverse rotation of the carrier for loading and ejecting tape cassettes. The planet gear engages the ring gear when the main gear when the main motor rotates forwardly and the carrier is caused to turn forwardly whereby the planet gear is positioned opposite to an untoothed portion of the ring gear after a tape cassette is loaded and the carrier then stops to allow the playback of the tape continuously.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1985Date of Patent: April 19, 1988Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Fumiya Yamada, Seiichiro Matsuki, Masahiko Kawamura, Masashi Kawamoto

Patent number: 4710835Abstract: In a head rotation mechanism in an auto-reverse type tape player, the head rotation mechanism comprising a sector gear engaging with a cam gear provided on a head lead side of a rotary head; a boss extending in the direction opposite to the rotary head side of the sector gear and having a tapered foreend; and a link mechanism for rotating the head. The link mechanism is rocked by the cam gear and equipped with a U-shaped member engaging with the boss on the sector gear. The boss on the sector gear engages with the U-shaped member of the link mechanism for rotating the head only when the rotary head is located at a release position, and the boss is out of contact with the U-shaped member when the rotary head is located ahead of the release position, whereby a reversible rotation of the single cam gear is used to change a direction of the rotary head and move the head forward.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1985Date of Patent: December 1, 1987Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Fumiya Yamada, Seiichiro Matsuki, Masahiko Kawamura, Masashi Kawamoto
