An apparatus for loading a disk in a disk player. The apparatus includes a main
chassis on which a transferring roller for transferring the disk to the inside
of the player is mounted; a power transferring unit for transferring power of a
driving motor to the transferring roller; and a slider mounted on the main chassis,
for being moved back and forth along a loading direction of the disk, and which
is selectively connected to the power transferring unit, for being driven back
and forth. The apparatus further includes an interworking mechanism for guiding
the disk into a chucking position, and which is moved and pushed by the disk going
forward upon entrance of the disk, to move the slider to connect with the power
transferring unit; and a sub-chassis for cooperating with the slider to move back
and forth in a direction perpendicular to the loading direction, and to cooperate
with the interworking mechanism to isolate the interworking mechanism from the
disk positioned on the chucking position. The apparatus further includes a locking
lever that cooperates with the disk moving in the loading and unloading directions
or with the sub-chassis, to selectively lock or unlock a movement of the interworking
mechanism; and an impulse alleviating device for alleviating an impulse generated
when the interworking mechanism is restored to an original position
