摘要:
In a recording and/or reproducing device (1) a cassette (3), which contains a magnetic tape (20) and a coupling pin (27) connected to the magnetic tape (20), can be loaded into the device (1) and the device (1) includes a pull-out element (50) which can be coupled to the coupling element (21), and the pull-out element (50) can be held in order to be coupled to the coupling element (21) with the aid of retaining means (51) and is disengageable by the retaining means (51) after coupling, and latching means (94) have been provided by which a disengagement of the pull-out element (50) by the retaining means (51) can be inhibited or enabled, and the latching means (94) are constructed for cooperation with the coupling element (21) and the latching means (94) only enable disengagement of the pull-out element (50) by the retaining means (51) when the coupling element (21) is correctly coupled to the pull-out element (50).

In a recording and/or reproducing device (1) a cassette (3), which contains a magnetic tape (20) and a coupling pin (27) connected to the magnetic tape (20), can be loaded into the device (1) and the device (1) includes a pull-out element (50) which can be coupled to the coupling element (21) in that the pull-out element (50) is moved in a coupling direction (69) towards the coupling element (21) which is held in a coupling position, and of the pull-out element (50) and the coupling element (21) one of these two elements (50, 21) has been provided with a locking element (113) which is movable transversely to the coupling direction (69).
摘要:
In a drive system and a magnetic tape cartridge for use therewith, the magnetic tape cartridge contains a number of magnetic tapes, and the drive system contains at least a like number of read/write heads. The drive system includes a mechanism which is engageable with all of the magnetic tapes in the cartridge for simultaneously extracting all of the magnetic tapes from the cartridge and moving all of the magnetic tapes so that each tape engages with at least one of the read/write heads. Data can then be simultaneously transferred between the engaged tapes and read/write heads, so that the time needed to access data in a read mode, and the time needed to write data in a record mode, are correspondingly reduced by a multiple which is dependent on the number of tapes. All of the tapes are wound onto a single take-up reel.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses for identifying a format of a tape cartridge (114), in a tape handling device (100), from a plurality of available formats. According to one aspect of the invention, cartridge identification information is provisioned on a tape cartridge leader (116). The cartridge identification information is detectable by the tape handling device (100) and usable to identify a format of the tape cartridge (114) from a plurality of available formats. The cartridge identification information includes at least one feature on the tape cartridge leader (116) having characteristics indicative to the tape handling device (100) of the format of the tape cartridge (114) presented to the tape handling device (100).
