Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a disk magazine for use in a disk player with a disk changer, and particularly relates to a disk magazine that allows easy disk replacement.

[Prior Art] As shown in FIG. 4, in a disk magazine used in a disk player with a disk chain gear, a disk 10 is inserted into a recess 1 provided in a tray 12.
3, and a plurality of trays 12 are horizontally stacked and housed in a frame 11 so as to be freely drawn out. In addition, in the figure,
14 is a regeneration hole formed in the tray 12.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In conventional disk magazines, disk replacement is performed by completely pulling out the tray 12 from the frame 11 and separating it. Alternatively, one of the frames 11 is temporarily placed on a desk or the like and the disk 10 is replaced, or the removed tray 12 is placed on top of the frame 11 and the disk 10 is replaced. This type of operation not only takes time to replace the disks, resulting in poor handling, but also has disadvantages, such as the possibility of causing the tray 12 and the disk 10 to fall.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and to make it possible to replace the disk while the tray and frame are integrated. To provide a disk magazine which can be inserted into the disk.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the disk magazine of this invention, a plurality of trays carrying disks are stacked horizontally and housed in a frame body, and the trays are pulled out linearly from the frame body. In the disk magazine made of , multiple stages are provided to correspond to the number of trays to be stored,
Engagement parts are provided on the rear sides of both sides of the tray so that the above-mentioned locking parts are resiliently engaged, so that the entire disk on the tray pulled out from the frame can be completely removed from the opening of the frame. The locking portion engages with the engaging portion at the exposed position so that the tray is held, and the tray is forced against the elastic engagement force between the locking portion and the engaging portion. It is constructed so that it can be pulled out or forcibly inserted into the frame.

[Function] The tray housed in the frame is pulled out linearly when replacing the disk, and at the position where the entire disk placed in the recess of the tray is completely exposed from the opening of the frame, the tray installed at the rear of the tray is pulled out. The tray is held by the engaging portions that engage with locking portions arranged on both sides of the opening of the frame. Since the locking part is retractable and retractable by the elastic part, the locking part and the engaging part are in a resiliently engaged state, and in this position, the tray will not move even with a light touch of the hand. , the disk can be easily replaced in this state.
Further, even if the disk is mounted in the recessed portion of the tray and the entire magazine is tilted downward to some extent, the tray will not fall.

When the tray is pulled out from the frame and separated, it can be taken out by forcibly pulling out the tray against the elastic engagement force between the locking part and the engaging part. The tray can be stored by forcibly pushing it through the frame opening.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the disk magazine of this invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view with a portion cut away, FIG. 2 is a plan view with a portion removed, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the main part of the frame body showing another example of the configuration.

In the figure, 1 is a frame body with a guide bar 1a inside.
is provided so that three trays 2 having recesses 3 can be stored therein, and the trays 2 are pulled out linearly in the direction of arrow X. A disk (not shown) mounted in the recess 3 is reproduced through a reproduction hole 4 provided in the tray 2.

On both sides near the opening 1b of the frame 1, a pair of locking parts 5, 5, which can be freely extended and retracted by an elastic part 6, are arranged opposite to each other. , 5 are provided in multiple stages to correspond to the number of trays 2 to be stored (three in the embodiment), and the locking portions 5 are elastically engaged on the rear sides of both side surfaces 2a of the trays 2. The locking portion 5 engages at a position where the entire disk on the tray 2 pulled out from the frame 1 is completely exposed from the opening 1b of the frame 1. The tray 2 is held by engaging with the engaging portion 8, and the tray 2 is forcibly removed from the frame 1 against the elastic engagement force between the engaging portion 5 and the engaging portion 8. It is configured so that it can be pulled out or forcibly inserted into the frame 1.

To explain the above-mentioned structure using the example of FIGS. 1 and 2, three stages of locking holes 1c are formed on both sides of the frame 1 near the opening 1b. A locking member 7 having a locking portion 5 is attached to both side surfaces of the frame 1 via an elastic portion 6. This locking member 7 has an elastic part 6 formed by providing two stages of slits 7a in a plate-like body made of synthetic resin or metal, and has an inward rounded protrusion at the tip of the elastic part 6. is formed, and this serves as a locking portion 5 with a round tip. The locking member 7 is screwed to the side surface of the frame 1 with a screw 9 so that the locking portion 5 protrudes from the locking portion hole 1c. 7b is a screw hole formed in the locking member 7, and 1d is a screw hole formed in the frame 1.

The engaging portion 8 formed on the tray 2 is formed by a V-shaped notch, and the above-mentioned round-tipped locking portion 5 is attached to this.
is designed to engage resiliently. The engagement portion 8 is formed at a position where the entire disk on the tray 2 pulled out from the frame 1 is completely exposed from the opening 1b of the frame 1, and the engagement portion 5 engages with the disk. Also, the engagement force between the locking part 5 and the engagement part 8 causes the tray 2 to be forcibly pulled out from the frame 1 against the elastic engagement force between the locking part 5 and the engagement part 8. This is enough to forcefully insert it into the frame 1.

In the configuration example shown in FIG.
By providing the elastic portion 6 and the locking portion 5, the elastic portion 6 and the locking portion 5 are directly provided on the frame 1, and the same effect can also be obtained by this.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the locking portion 5 is integrally formed at the tip of the elastic portion 6, but a separate member as the locking portion 5 may be attached inside the tip of the elastic portion 6. good. Further, although the illustrated example shows an example in which three trays 3 are stored in the frame 1, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this.

[Effects of the invention] According to the disk magazine of this invention, in a disk magazine used for a disk player with a disk chainer, the tray is moved with appropriate elasticity at a position where the disk mounted on the tray is completely exposed from the frame. Since it can be held by force, unlike the conventional operation of separating the disk from the frame and then exchanging the disk, the disk exchanging operation becomes smooth and the disk can be exchanged easily and quickly.

In addition, the tray will not fall out even if the entire magazine is tilted, and the tray can be separated from the frame if necessary, and the separated tray can be stored in the frame, making handling very convenient. be.
