Abstract
A disc clamp mechanism for a disc apparatus is provided. In the disc clamp mechanism, a disc is clamped or unclamped by moving a clamper holding chassis near to or remote from a turntable, the clamper holding chassis holding a clamper with a clamper holder, and a contact portion of the clamper holder with the clamper is deformed relative to the clamper holding chassis along a motion direction of the clamper holding chassis. A large space can be formed between the clamper and a turntable in a disc unclamp state to prevent the disc from becoming in contact with the clamper or turntable and being damaged while the disc is transported. A stroke of the clamper holding chassis necessary for reserving the space is made small to make a disc apparatus compact.
