Abstract
A disk reading device operates in both a suction mode and a cover-lifting mode. The device has a lower cover having a wall with an elongated opening provided in the wall, an upper cover that is connected for pivoting movement with respect to the lower cover, and a disk receiving space between the lower and upper covers. The disk receiving space is accessible via the elongated opening in a suction mode and by opening the upper cover with respect to the lower cover in a cover-lifting mode. A disk is drawn via the elongated opening into the disk receiving space, or a disk can be manually placed in the disk receiving space by opening the upper cover with respect to the lower cover. The device also includes a switch that switches operation of the disk reading device from the suction mode to the cover-lifting mode.
