ABSTRACT:
A transport apparatus for reliably handling compact discs includes a jaw assembly having a lower pivot plate coupled to an upper frame member, at least three jaw blades pivotally mounted in openings located in the lower pivot plate, wherein lower portions of the jaw blades extend from the lower pivot plate and upper portions of the jaw blades extend through openings provided in the upper frame member, a mechanism for applying an outward pivoting force to the jaw blades, and a mechanism for applying an inward pivoting force. In addition to pivoting, the jaw blades can move upward in response to a force exerted against the tips of the jaw blades.
