Patent ID: 8499314

Claim:
A disc loading device, comprising: a main frame and a sub frame defining a loading region to allow a first disc and a second disc having different diameters to be loaded thereto; a first guide lever rotatably mounted outside the loading region on the sub frame and extending into the loading region to interfere with the first disc or second disc when the first disc or second disc is loaded into the disc loading device; a second guide lever rotatably mounted outside the loading region on the sub frame and extending into the loading region to interfere with the second disc when the second disc is loaded into the disc loading device; a trigger lever rotatably mounted outside the loading region on the main frame and extending into the loading region to interfere with the discs; a chucking unit to chuck the first disc or the second disc located at the loading region; a slider reciprocatably mounted outside the loading region to operate the chucking unit; and a connecting unit disposed between the trigger lever and the slider to transmit a rotational force of the trigger lever to the slider, wherein the connecting unit is selectively operatively connected to the second guide lever, upon loading the first disc or the second disc, to change a timing at which the rotational force of the trigger lever is transmitted to the slider.
