Abstract
An automatic record loading player has a pair of racks and a pair of rollers for centering an inserted record disc. A slidable stop plate is movable back and forth and cooperates with a record disc detecting arm biased in one direction and rotatable in abutment with a circumferential periphery of the record disc. Any size record disc having any size center hole may be suitably positioned and delivered into and from the record player. A movable spindle assembly is used for holding and delivering the record disc. The record disc is held at its center hole by the spindle assembly. A novel drive cam mechanism and a novel drive direction change-over device are also disclosed. Through such gearing mechanisms, the record disc may be transferred along a groove mechanism for the spindle assembly.
