Suzuki ‘962 discloses the use of two trays 10a and 10b to
hold a disk 2 and a disk cartridge 12, respectively (Figure 1;
translation, pages 6 and 13).
Suzuki ‘465 discloses a cartridge loading mechanism that
has a tray 1 with multiple steplike recessed surfaces that
form rectangular slots 10 and 11 for holding cartridges 12a
and 12b, respectively, of different sizes (Figure 1). All of
the disks in the cartridge have the same center hole
(translation, pages 8 and 10), and more than three cartridges
at three or more levels may be supported in the tray
(translation, page 5). Suzuki ‘465 admits that it is known to
load disks of different diameters (translation, page 3), and
states that the rectangular slots 10 and 11 can be replaced
with disk-shaped slots to accommodate the disks of different
diameters in the tray (translation, page 8).
Suzuki ‘961 discloses a placement stand 10a that supports
both a disk 2 in a disk groove 15, and a disk cartridge 12 in
a cartridge support plate 40 (Figure 1; translation, pages
5 through 8, 10 and 11). The disk 2 and the disk in the disk
cartridge 12 appear to have the same diameter.
