ABSTRACT:
A drive unit including a motor, a reduction gear train, and a drive pinion drives a rack attached to a sliding member having cams formed therein. The cams move a cartridge holder to transport a disk to a loading position. One of the drive unit or a portion of the rack is movable to disengage the two. Variations include: a swingable drive unit for swinging the drive pinion away from the rack against the bias of a tension spring; a pivotable rack for pivoting the rack away from the drive pinion against the bias of a resilient cantilevered portion or a plate spring; and a rack having rack teeth mounted on resilient cantilevered portions movable away from the drive pinion against the bias of the resilient cantilevered portions.
