Abstract
A disk transfer device provides positive, reliable disk transfer. The device comprises a pair of moveable, opposed disk guide members which grip the outer edge of a disk disposed therebetween. A spring constantly urges the disk guide members closer together. A pinion gear connects the disk guide members and controls their movement together or apart. A bias device applies a torque to the pinion gear so as to urge the disk guide members together to increase the disk gripping force of the disk guide members during disk transfer.
