ABSTRACT:
A loading apparatus for a disc drive which has a traverse module for loading a disc thereon and reading from or recording to the disc including a gear for transmitting a motive force of a driving motor and a slider for lifting the traverse module up to load the disc. The slider forms a toothed portion engageable with the gear. The toothed portion includes a first rack segment and a second rack segment. The first rack segment is flexibly deformable so as to overcome a conflict of alignment of gear teeth of the gear and the first rack segment when such conflict occurs.
