Abstract
A disk device according to the present invention includes a transporting unit having a transfer roller within a casing. The transfer roller is rotatable about a fulcrum shaft. An integral gear is rotatably provided in the fulcrum shaft. The power of a motor fixed in the casing is transmitted to a worm wheel of the transporting unit via the integral gear and is further transmitted to a roller gear. Therefore, by the rotation on its own axis of the transfer roller and the rotating operation of the entire transporting unit, a disk is conveyed.
