Abstract
The disk carrier device comprises a carrier roller having a tapered surface with the diameter thereof becoming smaller gradually from the opposite ends towards the center, and a disk guide member integrally formed with a pair of tilted protrusions in the front and rear parts thereof which become gradually lower from the opposite ends towards the center. It is constructed such that the carrier roller is arranged between the pair of tilted protrusions to resiliently clamp the disk between the both tilted protrusions and the carrier roller to thereby carry the disk by the rotation of the carrier roller.
