Abstract
An aligning and clipping apparatus for slot-in CD/DVD players/ROM to load different size discs is provided, including a base, a tray, at least two moveable clipping elements, at least two ejection elements, and an auxiliary clipping element. Two clipping elements are installed at the front end of the tray for loading and clipping the disc. The auxiliary clipping element is on the top of the base for improving the stability of the clipping. The ejection elements are at the two sides of the rear end of the tray for ejecting the clipping of the disc so that the disc is in the position for data reading and writing. To achieve the function for clipping different size discs, the moveable clipping elements are placed at a specific angle and a specific curvature. Therefore, the different size discs can be clipped and held.
