ABSTRACT:
A simple device for driving a minidisk player. This device carries out, using a common drive motor, both the disk loading/unloading operation and the pickup driving operation of the portable minidisk player. A power transmission gear is rotated by the rotational force of the common drive motor. The power transmission gear engages an idle gear which is moved by the turning motion of a link. This idle gear selectively engages either a disk loading gear or a pick up drive gear, thus to carry out the disk loading/unloading operation and the pickup driving operation. First and second locking units lock the idle gear to one of two predetermined positions so as to let the idle gear be rotated in opposed directions while engaging either the disk loading gear or the pickup drive gear. Each locking unit has a spring-biased turning member having a push projection. This push projection pushes a locking projection of the link to a stopper, thus to lock the link at a position, at which position the idle gear engages either the disk loading gear or the pickup drive gear.
