摘要： A combination includes a family of cartridge drives (12) including a first cartridge drive and a second cartridge drive, and a family of cartridges (14) including a first cartridge and a second cartridge. The first cartridge drive includes a first protrusion pattern (32), and the second cartridge drive includes a second protrusion pattern (32) that is different than the first protrusion pattern (32). The first cartridge includes a first recess pattern (62) that receives the first protrusion pattern (32) thereby allowing full insertion of the first cartridge into the first cartridge drive. The second cartridge includes a second recess pattern (62) that receives the second protrusion pattern (32) thereby allowing full insertion of the second cartridge into the second cartridge drive. The second protrusion pattern (32) can impede full insertion of the first cartridge into the second cartridge drive. Further, the first protrusion pattern (32) can impede full insertion of the second cartridge into the first cartridge drive. The protrusion patterns (32) include protrusions (30) each having a protrusion length (70A-70D) which can vary between cartridge drives (12). The cartridge (14) includes a cartridge housing (34) having a cartridge rear wall (60) and a plurality of cartridge side walls (58). The recess patterns (62) can be positioned along one or more of the cartridge side walls (58) and/or the cartridge rear wall (60). The cartridge (14) includes a cartridge housing (34) that defines a housing interior (48). The recess pattern (62) can be configured to not allow access into the cartridge interior (48).

摘要： A cartridge assembly (10) includes a cartridge (12) and a cartridge retainer (14). The cartridge (12) includes a reel (22) having a rotational axis (46) and a flange (48, 50). The cartridge (12) also includes a cartridge housing (16) that rotatably secures the reel (22). The cartridge housing includes one or more interior surfaces (19, 21). The reel (22) is adapted to tilt relative to the cartridge housing (16). The cartridge housing (16) includes a plurality of ribs (30) each having a chamfer (72). The ribs (30) can be disposed on an upper housing section (18) and/or a lower housing section (20) of the cartridge housing (16). The reel (22) has a contact tilt angle θ 1 relative to the interior surface (19, 21), and at least one of the chamfers (72) has a chamfer angle θ 2 relative to the interior surface (19, 21) that is substantially similar to the contact tilt angle θ 1 . The flange (48, 50) contacts the chamfer (72) so that the flange (48, 50) is substantially parallel with the chamfer (72). The cartridge (12) can also include a positioner rib (66) for laterally positioning the reel (22). Further, a flange edge (56, 60) of the flange (48, 50) does not contact the cartridge housing (16) when the reel (22) tilts. The cartridge assembly (10) includes a reel positioner (36) that biases the reel (22) of the cartridge (12) toward the upper housing section (18) of the cartridge housing (16) while the cartridge (12) is retained within the cartridge retainer (14).
