a roller which carries a disk along a carrying route by coming into contact with a front surface or a back surface of the
disk inserted from an outside; and
disk guide blocks installed so that the disk guide blocks are movable in a direction crossing the carrying route, wherein
the disk guide blocks have guide members which are arranged to oppose to the roller with the carrying route therebetween,
and which come into contact with the disk being carried along the carrying route to maintain the disk in the carrying route,
and
the guide members are formed as ridges extending in a direction crossing the carrying route and inclined so that the ridges
are increased in height from a central portion toward side portions of the carrying route.
