Abstract:
1. A disk loading apparatus, comprising: first and second main gears disposed at equal distances to each other in radial directions from a center of rotation of a disk-type recording medium at an insertion completion position of the disk-type recording medium; a first feed roller provided at a position on said first main gear displaced from a center of rotation of said first main gear for rolling on an outer circumferential face of the disk-type recording medium; a second feed roller provided at a position on said second main gear displaced from a center of rotation of said second main gear for rolling on the outer circumferential face of the disk-type recording medium; and a driving mechanism for rotating said first main gear and said second main gear such that, when the disk-type recording medium is to be moved toward the insertion completion position, said first feed roller and said second feed roller revolve on said first main gear and said second main gear, respectively, while said first feed roller and said second feed roller roll on the outer circumferential face of the disk-type recording medium.
