Abstract
A compact disc support structure includes a spindle motor, a carrier, a hub, and a plurality of snapping members. The carrier is combined with the spindle motor. The hub is fitted and fixed on the shaft of the spindle motor. The snapping member is received in the chamber of the hub and is provided with a protrusion protruding outward from the opening of the chamber of the hub. When a compact disc is fitted on the periphery of the hub and is placed on the carrier, the compact disc is snapped and fixed by the protrusion of the snapping member so that the compact disc can be rigidly fixed on the carrier to be rotated with rotation of the spindle motor.
