In an optical loading apparatus, by including a main roller installed at
an inlet side of an optical disc drive; a disc guide installed in the
opposite direction of the main roller with an inserted disc therebetween;
a disc path control member which can change disc path; a small disc
stopping member formed at the drive in order to make an inserted small
disc stop at a position mountable onto a spindle; and a large disc
stopping member formed at the drive in order to make an inserted large
disc stop at a position mountable onto a spindle, it is possible to
reduce a fabrication cost by reducing the number of parts by simplifying
a structure, and accordingly different-sized optical discs can be
reliably loaded.
