Abstract:
1. A disk device having a disk transport mechanism for loading of a disk and moving said disk to a chuck position when a loading motor rotates forwards, and for unloading and moving said disk to an ejection position when said loading motor rotates backwards, said disk device comprising: a transmission gear mechanism for transmitting rotation of said loading motor to said disk transport mechanism, said transmission gear mechanism including plural gear wheels; and a specific disk ejector, operated by push of an external device, for separating said transmission gear mechanism into a first component on a disk transport mechanism side and a second component on a side of said loading motor by shifting a first gear wheel of said transmission gear mechanism from a meshed position to a disengaged position, and for rotating a second gear wheel of said transmission gear mechanism included in said first component on said disk transport mechanism side in a first direction, to actuate said disk transport mechanism for unloading said disk.
