Patent ID: 7272838

Claim:
A disk player device for use with a disk comprising: a disk slot for inserting the disk; a disk playing space provided in an inner side of the disk slot; a transporting roller for carrying the disk to the disk playing space, the transporting roller being disposed on an inner side of the disk slot and at a lower position of the disk playing space; a turntable and a clamper for the disk which are both respectively movable between a retreated position retreated from a disk play position and a disk holding position; a guide base which is movable between a pressurizing position where the guide base presses the disk on the transporting roller in a state where the disk is obliquely inclined and a retreated position where the guide base does not come into contact with the disk during playing; and an operation means which makes the guide base move in the pressurizing position when the disk is obliquely carried and makes the guide base move in the retreated position when the disk is played, the operation means making the guide base move from the pressurizing position to the retreated position at a time or just before a protruded part of the turntable is inserted into a center hole of the disk; wherein the disk slot is structurally formed at a lower position on a transporting roller side which is deviated lower in a direction of a disk rotation shaft from the disk play position in the disk playing space; and the transporting roller and the guide base are structured to carry the disk obliquely through the disk playing space such that a leading end of the disk is located at a higher position than the disk playing space and a trailing end of the disk is located at a lower position than the disk playing space in a state that the turntable and the clamper are retreated from the disk play position; and at the disk play position, the disk is held by the turntable and the clamper which are respectively moved to the disk holding position, in the disk playing space, thereby a trailing side of the disk is moved in an upward direction apart from the transporting roller and a leading side of the disk is moved in a downward direction opposite to the direction of the trailing side of the disk so that the inclination of the disk is cancelled to set the disk in a play attitude.
