Abstract
A transmission gear is comprised of a fitting portion of an upper toothed wheel being fit with a fitting portion of a lower toothed wheel so that both are axially movable. Accordingly, even in the event that a lid plate which has a disk introducing mechanism and a clamping chassis which has a clamping mechanism ascend or descend, certain power can be transmitted to a large gear (first gear) and a rotating cam (second gear) in a sure manner. Thus, the disk introducing mechanism and the disk discharging mechanism can both be driven with a single simple power transmitting mechanism. Also, the disk introducing operation and the disk discharging operation can be performed in a parallel manner, thereby reducing the amount of time required to exchange disks.
