ABSTRACT:
Disc playback apparatus is provided with a rotatable carousel carrying a plurality of discs. The carousel is stopped so that a disc to be selected arrives at a predetermined position where it is removed and transferred to the playback apparatus and vice-versa. The carousel has a disc-shaped base and a plurality of disc clampers located on the base in a radial direction. Each of the clampers are formed of a disc support and a clamper member supported by a bearing provided on said disc support and have a convex portion adapted to engage with the bore of said disc. A spring member biases the convex portion of the clamper member so that the disc is held against the disc support and is selectively disengageable against the bias of said spring member so that it may be released from said carousel for transfer to said disc playback apparatus by said transfer means.
