Patent ID: 7495712

Claim:
A television with a disk playback feature comprising a chassis with a slot for slot-in loading of a thin disk, a pivoting door to open and close the slot by turning, and an unloader to hold said disk and push said disk outside said chassis, said pivoting door comprising: a roughly plate-like door plate which closes said slot which is top open and is thrust by the top edge of said disk pushed upward by said unloader, to turn in a direction to open said slot by being raised backward, opposite to the display face of a monitor mounted to said chassis; a cushion mechanism formed on the backside of said door plate to provide a larger area where the top edge of said disk hits on said door plate; a pair of arms which overhangs to one side inside said chassis from both ends of said door plate; and a pair of pivots which protrudes outward from each of said arms and is fit in a pair of bearings provided on the ceiling of said chassis, wherein each arm is equipped with a torsion spring, one end of which is supported at a first point of application of spring force, established to be fixed to said chassis, the other end of which is supported at a second point of application of spring force, established in said arm, wherein the torsion spring exerts its urging force between both its ends, and wherein, on the path of turning of said second point of application of spring force as said pivoting door turns by being thrust by the top edge of said disk pushed out by said unloader, a critical point exists at which said each pivot is aligned with the line of action of the urging force of said torsion spring applied to the second point of application of spring force.
