Abstract
A disk loading apparatus includes first and second main gears () disposed at equal distances to each other in radial directions from the center of rotation of a disk table () which is the center of rotation of a disk-type recording medium at an insertion completion position of the disk-type recording medium, and first and second feed rollers () provided at positions on the first and second main gears () displaced from the centers of rotation of the first and second main gears () for rolling on an outer circumferential face of the disk-type recording medium (). The disk loading apparatus further includes a driving mechanism for rotating the first and second main gears () such that, when the disk-type recording medium () is to be moved toward the insertion completion position, the first and second feed rollers () revolve on the first and second main gears (), respectively, while the first and second feed rollers () roll on the outer circumferential face of the disk-type recording medium ().
