Abstract
The invention relates to a disc player for a rigid information-carrying disc, which player comprises a turntable which is mounted for rotation on a chassis. The disc player comprises a pivotal lid for closing the player, which lid carries an annular disc loader which when the lid is pivoted towards the turntable urges the disc resiliently against the turntable. The lid is closed in two stages. In a first, loading stage in which the lid is pivoted towards the turntable and in a consecutive lifting stage, the lid is resiliently pivoted away from the turntable towards a final position, in which final position the disc loader is clear of the disc. The lid is positioned by stop means, and a return of the lid to the loading stage is inhibited by a latch.
