Abstract: A disc loading apparatus for a disc drive, capable of selectively loading discs in different sizes includes a main chassis for mounting a transfer roller for moving the disc, a power transmission unit having a driving motor to transmit power to the transfer roller, a slider transmitted with the power from the power transmission unit and moving in directions for loading and unloading the disc being inserted, a disc guide lever pushed by the disc being inserted, thereby guiding the disc, a pushing lever rotatably mounted to the main chassis to connect the slider to the power transmission unit in association with the disc guide lever, and a locking/releasing unit for selectively locking and separating the disc guide lever with respect to the disc.

Abstract: A head drum assembly for a tape recorder includes a stationary drum fixed on a main base of a deck and having a through-hole formed in the bottom thereof, and a rotary drum having a magnetic head and rotatably installed on the stationary drum by a rotation shaft. A flexible printed circuit is electrically connected to rotary transformers respectively installed in the rotary drum and the stationary drum, for transmitting an information signal read by the magnetic head to a main printed circuit board (PCB). A first connector is coupled to an end of the flexible printed circuit for electrically connecting the flexible printed circuit to the main PCB. The flexible printed circuit is drawn out directly downward via the through-hole so that the first connector is electrically connected to a second connector mounted to the main PCB.
