摘要:
A magnetic recording device comprises a case (15, 16) that houses a disk drive motor (5) for rotating a recording medium (disk), a head (57) for reading information from and writing information onto the disk, and a head drive mechanism for driving the head. The case (15, 16) includes a cover (17) that may close a cartridge slot (18). When the cover (17) is leaned forward to open the cartridge slot (18), its upper surface becomes substantially at the same level as a frame plate on which the disk drive motor (5) and the head drive are mounted.

A disk device is provided with a disk tray (20) having a detachable guide member (30), which guides an optical disk (2) between a depression and claws (24) provided thereon. When an optical disk is to be mounted within a disk device in the vertical orientation, the optical disk can automatically be guided between depression and claws by moving the disk along the guide member. In addition, because the guide member is detachable, it can be attached if the disk device is to be used in vertical orientation and removed if it is to be used in horizontal orientation.

The present invention makes it possible to reproduce an optical disc in random reproduction or programmed reproduction without interrupting reproduction, even though discs such as a DVD or CD-I with an interactive function are not removed from the roulette. A mechanical unit 1 selects a target optical disc 103 to be reproduced from among a plurality of optical discs accommodated in a roulette 702. A disc detection unit 204 detects the type of the optical disc which is selected as the target to be reproduced. A system controller unit 5 allows reproduction only in a case where the target optical disc to be reproduced is a CD-DA, when the reproduction mode entered to the user interface block unit 6 is either a random- reproduction mode or a programmed-reproduction mode.

The present invention relates to a disk loading means, wherein, when the optical disk driver is installed horizontally or vertically, the present invention will cause the optical disk to be steadily clamped by said optical disk driver in a radial direction so that the loading process will be successful, and when said optical disk driver is installed horizontally, said device will still provide convenient functions so that the tray may be used as a generally used optical disk tray.
摘要:
A data storage device (40) comprises a cartridge receiving stop (53) having a substantially flat middle surface (57) and angled outer edges (55a, 55b) for inhibiting the insertion of incompatible disk cartridges into the data storage device. A disk cartridge (10) adapted for use in the data storage device has opposite front corners (20c, 20d). The opposite front corners of the disk cartridge have a non-square shape adapted to avoid interference with the angled outer edges (55a, 55b) of the cartridge receiving stop (53). The data storage device may further comprise means for enabling a function of the data storage device (40) upon insertion of a disk cartridge (10) having non-square front corners into the disk drive. The disk cartridge may further comprise a projection (20a) positioned on the front peripheral edge (20) of the disk cartridge (10, 11, 15) and adapted to engage an operating member (158, 164, 182) of the enabling means on the substantially flat middle surface (57) of the cartridge receiving stop (53).
摘要:
An optical disk cartridge (20) includes a cartridge body (21) formed with an opening (30) at an edge (29) thereof such that an optical disk (22) can be taken out and returned from and to the optical disk cartridge. The opening is closed by a cover lid (31) that is formed as an integral body of the cartridge body.
