ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a disk holding device for use in an optical disk reading device that accurately receives and positions an optical disk inserted into the optical disk reading device. The disk holding device comprises a substrate, a holding frame, two holding rods, two guide pins integrally formed on the corresponding holding rods and a sliding plate. Two gear racks are integrally formed with the holding frame, and the two spur gears are integrally formed on top surfaces of the holding rods. Thus, two spur gears of two holding rods respectively mesh the gear racks of the holding frame when the optical disk reading is in use. Further, the sliding plate functions to keep a positioning pin disposed on top surface of the holding rod in place, thereby causing the holding rods to be away from the optical disk when the optical disk reading device is in use. The disk holding device is adapted to receive and position the optical disk of different sizes even though the optical disk reading device is positioned vertically.
