Abstract

Apparatus turntable with selection of disks by coin or record, of the type in which the disk store of the apparatus affects the toroidal shape, with the selected disc coming to the encounter of the actuating means of its audition and withdrawal to the store, characterized by understanding : stationary execution platform arranged in a vertical plane; stationary recording arm and provided with two needles for the execution of one or the other side of the disc; driving means for rotating said platform in one direction or the other with double speed reduction; mechanical device to discriminate the hearing of discs of 45 r.p.m. And 33 1/3 r.p.m. And in accordance with this link the speed reduction required for the disk according to its class; rotary storage of discs in the form of toroid with horizontal axis, the discs being radially oriented, and with spacers also in radial planes, each disc being housed between two of said successive separators, the execution platform being located externally to the toroid and at a higher level with respect to the same; carrier crown of a number of coils divider of the disk faces of the above toroidal store and whose crown is concentric with respect to the toroid, rotating the crown a certain angle corresponding to the position occupied by each selected disk, on the common axis with the toroid, returning the crown to its initial position once the selection cycle has concluded; stationary crown carrying a plurality of laminar pawls equal in number to the faces of integral discs of said toroidal store, whose axis is common to that of this store, the pawls being located radially in two circles in different planes and counterbalanced those of a circumference to those of the other; rotary palpator system solidary disk store; means for rotating the coil carrier platform; means for producing the rotation of the toroid together with the probing system; cam means for actuating the extraction device of the selected disc; means for eliminating the ratchet affected by the selection, with confrontation of the needle corresponding to the face of the selected disc and subsequent tightness of the plane of the disc to the expressed platform; means for camming the pick-up arm with a subsequent approach until the pick-up element with its needle is placed on the selected disc face; actuating means of said cams and to reverse their rotation and thus carry out in reverse succession the aforesaid maneuver ending with the stop of the apparatus or beginning of a new cycle if the user has previously deposited the coins required for said hearing or succession of auditions, respectively.
