A cartridge engaging assembly (100) for translating a cartridge (106) is disclosed. The cartridge engaging assembly (100) comprises a laterally extending thumb member (110) adapted to abuttingly engage the cartridge (106). The assembly (100) further comprises a floating finger assembly (120) which is detached from the thumb member (110) and is also adapted to engage the cartridge (110). The finger assembly (120) comprises at least one floating finger member (122, 124) with a front portion (140), a rear portion (144), and a latch portion (126, 128) with a guide post (130, 132) attached thereto. The finger assembly (120) may comprise recovery devices (202, 204) for recovering a displaced floating finger member (122, 124, 200). The assembly (100) further comprises at least one guide sleeve (102, 104) with an elongate track (134) adapted to receive the guide post (130, 132), and a flexible gate assembly (150) positioned within the elongate track (134) at the forward end (136) thereof. The assembly (100) further comprises a get operating mode (170), a first retrieve operating mode (172), a first put operating mode (174), a second put operating mode (176), and a second retrieve operating mode (178). A method of translating a cartridge (106) with a cartridge engaging assembly (100) from a first cartridge receiving device (192) to a second cartridge receiving device (194) is also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention relates to a disc magazine (1) to be inserted in the housing (6) of disc changers, disc players, computers or the like, comprising a housing mounting frame (2) in which multiple disc holders (9) lying on top of each other are placed in mounting compartments (11), each plate holder accommodating one disc, and a cover (3) which is connected to the mounting frame (2). In order to automatically protect the disc holder (9) placed therein from falling off or damaging when the disc magazine (1) is taken out from a corresponding device, the cover (3) comprises a flexibly mounted locking element (19) which engages in corresponding recesses in the disc holder (9) and which releases the disc holder (9) when the disc magazine (1) is slid into the mounting frame (6).

A disk playback device provides a space above and below a selected disk held in a disk holder. A turntable and optical pickup reside within the space. The turntable is moved inward in the space from a storage position to chuck, and withdraw, the selected disk from its disk holder to a playback position in which the axis of the turntable is within the outline of disks stored in disk holders. The storage position places the axis of the turntable outside the outline of disks stored in the disk holders. In a single play mode, a disk not stored in a disk holder is moved directly from outside the disk playback device to the playback position where it is chucked and played. On conclusion of single play, the disk is transported out of the disk playback device without being resident in a disk holder.

A sub tray selector (31) is provided in a casing (2) and rotatable so as to adjust a selecting position in accordance with the height of a designated sub tray (11). The sub tray selector (31) is capable of retaining the designated sub tray (11) and any other sub trays (11) stacked thereon and disengaging each of the retained sub trays (11) from a sub tray engaging member (12) in accordance with a shifting motion of a base tray (10) advancing to the external position. Thus, the retained sub trays (11) stay at the standby position.
摘要:
A disc reproducing apparatus which allows simple and precise operating control without complicating and increasing the size of structure of the apparatus is disclosed. In this disc reproducing apparatus, a first portion to be detected (i1-i5) forming a disc number detecting mark has a wider smaller than a width of a second portion to be detected (m, n) forming a stop position detecting mark. At the same time, the disc number detecting mark and the stop position detecting mark are provided on a straight line. Thus, the disc number detecting mark and the stop position detecting mark can be detected by one mark sensor (43) with both marks reliably distinguished from each other.
摘要:
In a recorder and/or reproducer, a disc cartridge container is loaded, in which a plurality of disc cartridges are accommodated without superposition of the cartridges by arranging a plurality of cartridge housing parts storing the disc cartridges in a matrix on one plane. This disc recorder and/or reproducer is provided with a rotary support base which supports a driver support base on which are mounted a disc rotating mechanism capable of approaching and parting from the disc cartridge, and an optical pick-up; a fixed support base which so supports the rotary support base as to rotate; a rotating mechanism which rotates the rotary support base; and a driver support base lifting mechanism which lifts and lowers the driver support base in order to allow the disc rotation driving mechanism and the optical pick-up to approach and part from the disc cartridge. By rotating the rotary support base, and by causing the disc rotation driving mechanism and the optical pick-up to approach and part from the disc cartridge, data on a plurality of discs are reproduced in sequence without moving the disc cartridges.
