Abstract: A turnable for mounting an optical disk without the occurrence of eccentricity including: a fixed portion (48) fitted in a center hole of the optical disk; a movable portion (50) fitted in the center hole with the fixed portion (48) as a reference so as to be elastically deformed to correct the eccentricity when the optical disk is mounted; a shaft portion (42) molded integrally with the fixed portion (48) and into which is inserted a drive shaft (14a) of a drive motor for rotating a turntable (12) continuously; and a plate spring (60) for returning, when the optical disk is not mounted, the movable portion (50) from a position when the optical disk is mounted to a position when not mounted. The plate spring (60) is secured to the shaft portion (42) directly.

Abstract: A record changer for a record playing apparatus of the type including a center spindle on which records are adapted to be held and then dropped onto a turntable to be played, includes a tone arm for reproducing signals which are recorded on a record, dropped onto the turntable, a detecting device for detecting the position of the tone arm, an operating mechanism for controlling the operation of the record changer when the detecting device detects that the tone arm is in an inoperative position, and a device for stopping the operation of the record changer during operation of the operating means when the detecting device detects that the tone arm is in an operative position.

Abstract: In a phonograph record player having a tone arm carrying a pickup with a stylus to track the groove of a phonograph record on a turntable during a play operation and being mounted for lead-in movement from an elevated rest position outside the turntable perimeter to a selected set-down position of the stylus on the record for commencement of a play operation and for return or lead-out movement back to the rest position on termination of a play operation, a control mechanism is provided with a single mode selecting member or slide which is manually movable to positions for selecting stop, manual and repeat modes of operation, respectively, of the record player.
