Patent ID: 8074236

Claim:
A disk drive device comprising: a device body having a front surface that forms a disk insertion and ejection opening, a disk being inserted to or ejected from the front surface; a pair of arms that are supported at proximal end portions thereof pivotally from the front surface of the device body to a downstream side in a disk insertion direction in which the disk is inserted; transport rollers that are respectively rotatably supported at distal ends of the pair of arms and that transport the disk to an inside or outside of the device body by being brought into contact with a side surface of the disk; an urging member that urges the pair of arms so that the transport rollers supported respectively by the pair of arms approach each other; and a transport roller rotation mechanism that drives at least one of the transport rollers, supported respectively by the pair of arms, for rotation, wherein the pair of arms synchronously pivot the transport rollers in such a manner that the pivotally supported proximal end portions are coupled to each other.
