Abstract
A simplified sound reproducing device having a means for preventing collision between a record disc and a sound reproduction stylus is provided. According to the device, during the time of transportation a start lever is set at a position where it has been turned, whereby the center pin is moved downwardly by an inclined face formed on the start lever so that the record disc can be normally held at a position where it is placed away form the pickup of the sound reproducing device. When it is required to use the reproducing device for the purpose of playing, the start lever is turned back to the position where it had been before the first turning for the transportation, thereby subsequent pushing down of the start lever will make the inclined face move the center pin downward so as to move the record disc away from the pickup, then, the pickup is allowed to return to its starting point of sound reproduction and energizes a motor for starting the sound reproduction again.
