Patent ID: 7028316

Claim:
An apparatus for loading a disk into a disk player, the apparatus comprising: a main chassis on which is mounted a transferring roller, adapted to transfer the disk to an inside of the player; a power transferring unit, adapted to transfer power of a driving motor to the transferring roller; a slider, mounted on the main chassis, and adapted to be moved back and forth along a loading direction of the disk, and to selectively connect to the power transferring unit to be driven back and forth; an interworking mechanism, adapted to guide the disk into a chucking position, and which is adapted to be moved by movement of the disk upon entrance of the disk into the disk player, and which is connected to the power transferring unit by the movement of the slider; a sub-chassis, adapted to move back and forth in a direction substantially perpendicular to the loading direction in cooperation with the slider, and which is adapted to cooperate with the interworking mechanism to isolate the interworking mechanism from the disk positioned at a chucking position; a locking lever, adapted to selectively lock or unlock a movement of the interworking mechanism by cooperating with the disk that is moving along the loading direction or with the sub-chassis; and an impulse alleviating device, coupled to the interworking mechanism of the disk player which is adapted to guide the disk into the chucking position, the device being adapted to regulate movement of the interworking mechanism with respect to the sub-chassis of the disk player when the disk is unloaded from the disk player, to thus reduce the impulse that is generated when the interworking mechanism is restored to an original position at which the interworking mechanism was positioned prior to the disk being loaded into the disk player.
