A reed-type clamp device. The reed-type clamp device comprises a main body, a rotating ring, a reed and a clamp. The rotating ring has a ring portion and a lever portion. The ring portion has a plurality of protrusions formed on the inner circumference of the ring portion. The rotating ring is disposed on the main body and rotates clockwise and counterclockwise. A plurality of swing arms are extended from the outer edge of the reed. The swing arm has an outer end fixed on the main body and a driving portion. The protrusions of the rotating ring touch the driving portions. The clamp is fitted in the reed. By rotating the rotating ring, the swing arms of the reed fixed on the main body are pushed upward or downward such that the clamp can be moved upward or downward.
An optical disk player has a clamping device which includes a substrate, a support frame that is pivotably coupled to the substrate, a gripping plate carried on the support frame and extending into the opening, and a slider coupled for slidable movement on the substrate. The slider has a block with an angled surface along which a projecting tab on the support frame travels when the slider is moved. The slider also has a pressing tab that presses the gripping plate through the opening to fix a disk on to a turntable of the disk player.
A disk clamper (100) includes a clamper main body (1) and a lid body (2) that holds an attraction member (3) such as a magnet or the like between the clam main body (1) and the lid body (2). The clamper main body (1) includes a peripheral wall (12) whose outer peripheral surface constitutes a cylindrical surface. The lid body (2) includes a peripheral wall (22) fitted on the outside of the peripheral wall (12) of the clamper main body (1). Engaging claws (13) are formed on and protruded from the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall (12). Engaging claws (23) are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall (22). The clamper main body (1) and the lid body (2) can be integrated by fitting the peripheral wall (22) to the outside of the peripheral wall (12) in a state where the circumferential positions of the engaging claws. (13, 23) are different from each other, and by rotating the peripheral walls (12, 22) relative to each other until the engaging members (13, 23) engage each other in the axial direction.
The invention aims to reduce the size of a disk clamp mechanism to be built into a disk player. The clamp mechanism comprises: a disk clamp portion formed integrally with a turntable; a clamper; and a clamper holder for holding the clamper via a clamper mounting shaft adapted to hold the clamper in rotatable fashion, wherein a flange portion provided at an end of the clamper mounting shaft is placed within a space formed inside the clamper. The clamper comprises a peripheral portion and a chamber portion in which the space is formed, and the disk clamp portion has a recessed groove portion engageable with the chamber portion, the structure being such that, when the disk is clamped, the end portion of the chamber portion is accommodated into the disk clamp portion, thus achieving a size reduction by reducing the height in a direction perpendicular to the disk.
