ABSTRACT:
A disc carrying system is mounted in a disc player of the front loading type and serves to support a disc that will be performed at a predetermined location on a disc supporting surface and to carry the disc to a predetermined performance location by moving the disc horizontally and vertically. This system comprises: a horizontally slidable tray for positioning the disc; a container which can project outside of the player housing together with the tray and which supports the disc in cooperation with the tray; at least a pair of horizontally movable cam members having cam holes adapted to engage the container; and a motor to drive the cam members. The cam holes are formed so as to vertically move the container in association with the horizontal movement of the cam members. Two concave portions are formed in the tray at predetermined locations corresponding to the periphery of the disc when it has been mounted on the disc supporting surface. By inserting the thumb or any two fingers in these concave portions, the disc may be easily removed from the tray. This disc carrying system cam provide an automatic disc loading operation by means of a simple constructional cam mechanism, and troubles will not readily occur.
