Patent ID: 6892384

Claim:
A disk loading device for a disk player, which loads either a first disk or a second disk, which is smaller than the first disk, into a chucking position, comprising: a main chassis which is provided with a feeding roller which is adapted to inwardly conveying one of the first and second disks as being introduced; a power transmission unit, adapted to transmit the power of a driving motor to the feeding roller; a slider which is mounted on the main chassis to be reciprocated in the loading direction of the introduced disk, the slider being selectively connected to the power transmission unit to be driven back and forth, depending on its moving position; a first linkage mechanism which guides the first disk to the chucking position while being pushed and moved by the first disk and moves the slider to be connected to the power transmission unit when the first disk is being introduced; a second linkage mechanism which connects the slider to the power transmission unit while being pushed and moved by the second disk when the second disk is moved to the chucking position while being contacted with and guided by the first linkage mechanism; a sub-chassis which is linked to the slider and reciprocated in the direction transverse to the loading direction, such that the first linkage mechanism linked to the sub-chassis separates the first linkage mechanism from the first disk or the second disk placed on the chucking position; and a locking lever which is moved in linkage with the introduced first disk or the sub-chassis, the locking lever selectively locking the movement of the first linkage mechanism or releasing the locking of the first linkage mechanism.
