Abstract:
A disk carrier device of a disk player for carrying a disk, comprising:a carrier roller having a tapered surface with the diameter thereof becoming smaller gradually from the opposite ends towards the center; and a disk guide member with an under surface having a first tilted protrusion, a second tilted protrusion and a third tilted protrusion protruding away from the disk guide member towards the disk and being disposed in parallel with a disk insertion slot, each of the first tilted protrusion, the second tilted protrusion and the third tilted protrusion protruding further gradually from the center towards the opposite ends thereof, wherein the carrier roller is arranged between the first tilted protrusion and the second tilted protrusion, the third tilted protrusion is on an innermost part of the disk guide member which extends over the center of a turntable, the first tilted protrusion protrudes away from the disk guide member further than the second tilted protrusion such that when the disk is resiliently clamped between the first and the second tilted protrusions and the carrier roller, the disk is inclined to be spaced away from the turntable while the inclination of the innermost edge of the disk is adjusted downwards by the third tilted protrusion.
