ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a disc-record player, comprising a disc-loading mechanism, a frame (11), and a turntable (13) mounted in said frame, which loading mechanism comprises a movable drawer (21), for transferring the disc to and removing it from the turntable, and a movable pressure-member support (39) carrying a disc pressure member (37), for pressing the disc onto the turntable in the operative position. The pressure-member-support cooperates with at least one lever (41) adjacent the turntable, which lever extends in the inward direction of movement of the drawer, comprises a first lever arm (41A) and behind it a second lever arm (41B), and is movable about a pivot (43), which is situated between the first and the second lever arm and which is mounted in the frame. The first lever arm is positioned against the pressure-member support and the second lever arm carries a first coupling means which is cooperable with a second coupling means on the drawer, one of the coupling means comprising a wall portion (53) which is inclined viewed in the inward direction of movement of the drawer and over which a guide element (51) of the other coupling means moves during the inward movement of the drawer for pivoting the lever and bringing the disc pressure member into the operative position.
