ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus for cleaning a signal pick up lens in a compact disc (CD) player, which has a size similar to the compact disc for the compact disc player and can be put on a compact disc tray of the CD player and pushed into the CD player to clean the signal pick up lens therein. The cleaning apparatus comprises a cleaner disc having a size similar to a conventional compact disc; a fly wheel disc which is rotatably fitted with the cleaner disc and has its axis align with the center of the signal pick up lens; a connection part which is located at one of both horizontal faces on said fly wheel disc for connecting with an outside starter to allow said fly wheel disc to obtain an initial turning speed and rotate through a period of time incessantly due to the inertia; and a cleaning member which is located at the other horizontal face of said fly wheel disc and provided with a cleaning piece made of fabrics or nonwoven material for touching and cleaning said signal pick up lens while said fly wheel disc is turning.
