Claim:
A disc drive device comprising: a cabinet that has an aperture for putting in and out a disc to and from inside the cabinet; a disc conveyance mechanism that has a conveyance roller for conveying the disc between an inside of the cabinet and the aperture while coming into pressure-contact with the disc inserted into the aperture from a single surface side of the disc; a roller driver that has a driving source, for forwardly/reversely rotating the conveyance roller; a gear transmission unit that has a pinion rotating due to a driving force from the driving source; a slide cam that is capable of performing a reciprocating movement in a conveyance direction of the disc; and a trigger slider that has a rack engaging with the pinion and moves when the rack engages with the pinion, wherein the trigger slider moves the slide cam in the same direction as a moving direction of the trigger slider while engaging with a part of the slide cam in the course of movement of the trigger slider, wherein the disc conveyance mechanism has a cam driven element protruded on a movement route of the slide cam; the conveyance roller is energized in a direction coming into pressure-contact with the disc by an elastic member; the slide cam has a cam contour part moving the conveyance roller in a direction being spaced apart from the disc against an elastic force of the elastic member while pressing the cam driven element; and the cam contour part has a flat surface part formed in parallel to a moving direction of the slide cam, in order to move only the trigger slider, while restraining the slide cam by contact pressure of the cam driven element to stop the slide cam temporary, when conveying the disc inside the cabinet toward the aperture side of the cabinet.
