Abstract
A disk changer device is provided which is capable of maintaining continuity of control, small, and simple, by means of perpetually maintaining a 1-to-1 correspondence relation between the direction of rotation of the driving source and the direction of operation of the disk holding member. A loading unit 40 comprises a transporting plate 43 for transporting disk holding members 11, a chucking plate 44 for driving a drive plate 72 and clamp arm 73, a driving block 45, and so forth. The driving block 45 is provided with a loading pinion 50 which rotates according to the output of a loading motor 47. While the transporting plate 43 makes one reciprocal movement to perform extracting returning operation of the disk holding member 11 by certain rotation control of the loading pinion 50, via the rack 43a, the loading gear 54 is rotated 180.degree. and the chucking plate 44 is driven on the going path or the returning path to perform chucking operation or chucking disengagement operation.
