ABSTRACT:
The present invention is concerned with a disc loading mechanism for a disc driving apparatus including a disc transport member having a tray for setting a disc on it and substantially translationally movable between an open position in which the disc may be attached to or detached from the tray and a closed position in which the disc is positioned on a turntable adapted for rotationally driving the disc, a turntable supporting member having the turntable and operatively linked to movement of the disc transport member towards a closed position for being moved substantially parallel to the disc transport member to a loading position in which the disc is positioned on the turntable, and a guide for being engaged with and guiding a guided member provided on the turntable supporting member and for moving the turntable towards the tray into engagement with the turntable when the turntable supporting member is moved to the loading position in unison with the disc transport member. The disc loading mechanism is operatively linked with the movement of the disc transport member for being moved in the direction in which a disc table supporting base plate having a disc table is moved towards and away from the disc transport member and in the direction of movement of the disc transport member for loading the disc set on the disc transport member on the disc table as the disc supporting base plate is moved towards the closed position. The invention further includes a method of assembling the disc loading mechanism from one direction to a chassis.
