ABSTRACT:
A disk loading mechanism for a compact disk (CD) device. It contains a frame, a CD tray, and a transmission unit. The transmission unit includes a base plate slidable within an opening of the frame. The base plate has a motor and a set of gears mounted thereon. A transversal rack is mounted on the frame which is engagable with the gear set for causing a transverse movement of the entire transmission unit, which, in turn, causes a vertical movement of the front end of a reading device. The gear set is also engagable with a substantially straight longitudinal rack formed on the CD tray so as to cause a longitudinal movement of the CD tray between a reading position and a loading/unloading position. The transmission unit also includes a vertical pin formed on the base plate which is received and slidable within a guiding path formed on the CD tray.
