Abstract
A disk transfer includes: a transfer arm rotatably supported by an apparatus body to/from which a disk-shaped recording medium is inserted and removed, when the disk-shaped recording medium is inserted, rotated in an insertion direction by being pressed by the disk-shaped recording medium, and when the disk-shaped recording medium is ejected, rotated in an ejection direction to eject the disk-shaped recording medium; and a lift section provided with a rotation axis supported at a tip end portion of the transfer arm rotatably in a direction substantially orthogonal to a main surface of the disk-shaped recording medium, and from the rotation axis, an abutting piece abuts against the disk-shaped recording medium on a front side surface in the insertion direction inserted in the apparatus body. A support piece supports a lower surface portion of the disk-shape recording medium.
