Patent number: 6864879Abstract: A rotational operation mechanism for a DJ apparatus enables smooth rotation to be achieved using a simple configuration. A rotational operation mechanism has a base, a display window member fixed onto the base, a ring member positioned on the display window member and holding a plurality of rotatable balls, and a rotation operation portion positioned on the ring member and operated by an operator. Mutually facing surfaces of the display window member and the rotation operation portion are provided with grooves that have substantially the same diameter as the ring member. The ring member is sandwiched between the display window member and the rotation operation portion such that the plurality of balls are received in the groove of the display window member and the groove of the rotation operation portion, and the ring member is rotatable in a peripheral direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2002Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Yoshitaka Nojima, Kenji Muratani

Patent number: 5107474Abstract: A multimagazine disc player includes an array of magazines removably stored therein each for holding a plurality of discs, and a playback device movable and positionable in alignment with one of the magazines at a time for playing back a selected one of the discs contained in the magazine. The discs stored in the magazines can selectively be played back automatically, and can also easily be replaced with other discs not stored in the disc player. The magazines are arrayed horizontally to make the disc player highly stable. The discs are stored in vertically erected positions so that the magazines can be removed and loaded with ease.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1989Date of Patent: April 21, 1992Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Masaya Ishibashi, Yoshitaka Nojima

Patent number: 5084859Abstract: A multimagazine disc player includes an array of magazines removably stored therein each for holding a plurality of discs, and a playback means movable and positionable in alignment with one of the magazines at a time for playing back a selected one of the discs contained in the magazine. The discs stored in the magazines can selectively be played back automatically, and can also easily be replaced with other discs not stored in the disc player. The multimagazine disc player also has a magazine presence/absence detecting means for detecting whether each magazine is loaded or not, so that a wasteful time which would otherwise be consumed by moving the playback means to a position where no magazine is loaded can be eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1989Date of Patent: January 28, 1992Assignee: Pioneer Electronic CorporationInventors: Masaya Ishibashi, Yoshitaka Nojima, Takeo Tobe, Komei Hashimoto
