摘要:
A recording medium cartridge receives in a shell a disk, an inner rotor, and a shutter. The inner rotor has rotational force applied by a coil spring and keeps the shutter in a state where an opening portion provided in a shell is closed. When the recording medium cartridge is inserted in a disk device, a shutter opening mechanism provided in a disk recording/reproducing device rotates the inner rotor, opposing spring force of the coil spring, so that the shutter is moved to a position where the opening portion provided in the shell is opened. When the recording medium cartridge is discharged, spring force of the coil spring rotates the inner rotor to close the shutter.

A disk apparatus includes a movable drive plate (101) and directly permits an encased recording medium disk loading mechanism having an MD holder drawing arm (108) and a slit constituent member (125) to draw an MD (107) in the apparatus and place the MD (107) on a turntable (131) and further permits a non-encased recording medium disk loading mechanism having a CD clamper (104) and a CD adapter (106) to move to an inner place not to interfere with the placement of the MD (107) on the turntable (131).
摘要:
A disc drive unit capable of simply performing an opening and closing driving of shutters by rotation of an inner rotor of a disc cartridge using the inner rotor is provided. A disc drive unit is constituted so as to open and close shutters (9, 10) by rotationally driving a partial gear (27) of the inner rotor (4) by a rack portion (74) of a rack member (71) slidably driving it relative to a disc cartridge (1).

A main cartridge body unit is to be reduced in size and thickness to reliably protect a disc-shaped recording medium. To this end, a disc cartridge includes a disc-shaped recording medium 5, a main cartridge body unit 6 including an upper plate 21 and a lower plate 22, both of a metal material, forming a plate pair, and an intermediate frame 23, sandwiched between the upper and lower plates 21, 22, and an upper liner sheet 101 and a lower liner sheet 102, forming a set of liner sheets, bonded to inner surfaces of the upper and lower plates 21, 22 for protecting the disc-shaped recording medium 5. The disc-shaped recording medium 5 is accommodated in the main cartridge body unit 6.

A disc case (10) for accommodating a disc (11) comprising: a main unit (12,13) having an accommodation chamber (18) for accommodating a disc (11) and an opening (22,28); and a shutter (145) installed on said main unit (12,13) so as to cover said opening (22,28) in a closed position and expose said opening (22,28) in an open position, said shutter (145) being slidable in a direction along front fringe portion (24,30) of said main unit (12,13). Gaps (123-L,123-R) are formed in corner portions (120-L1,130-L1,120-R1,130-R1) of said front fringe portion (24,30) of said main unit (12,13) along said front fringe portion (24,30) so that a part (118) of a case holder (115) for holding said disc case (10) passes through one of said gaps (123-L,123-R) to come in to contact with said shutter (145) so as to slide said shutter (145) when said disc case (10) is inserted into said case holder (115) in a direction parallel to a slide direction of said shutter (145).
摘要:
This is a loading mechanism by which a disk cartridge can be positively loaded into a disk drive apparatus. The loading mechanism comprises: a mechanism for opening and closing a shutter of the disk cartridge inserted into the disk drive apparatus; an elevating plate on which a spindle motor for rotating the disk and an alignment pin for positioning the cartridge are mounted; and an oblique surface for moving the elevating plate onto the cartridge side in accordance with insertion of the cartridge. In the first embodiment, a front end portion of the first alignment pin (11) inserted into a long reference hole of the cartridge is tapered, and only a front end portion of the second alignment pin (12) inserted into a circular reference hole on the opposite side to the first alignment pin is curved, and further the second alignment pin is offset onto the rear side of the apparatus. In the second embodiment, a shutter opening and closing member includes: first and second opening and closing pieces (6,7) which slide in a guide groove (4) of a guide frame (3) forming an insertion passage of the cartridge; and a torsion spring. In the first and the second opening and closing pieces, there are provided a shaft portion for engaging one end of the torsion spring, and a flange which interposes the guide groove. In the third embodiment, on the elevating plate, there are provided two sets of guide pins, which are arranged perpendicularly to the cartridge inserting direction, symmetrically with each other, and on the load plate of the elevating means, there are provided two oblique surfaces on the right and two oblique surfaces on the left which receive the guide pins and pull up the guide pins when the load plate is moved, and starting positions of these oblique surfaces are arranged being shifted in the longitudinal direction.
摘要:
A disk player (10) has a cartridge holder (20) formed with an opening (21), capable of loading through the opening (21) a disk cartridge (40) containing an optical disk (41), the disk cartridge (40) having a shutter (42) adapted to be slidingly opened to expose an information recording surface of the optical disk (41) contained in the cartridge (40), so as to permit information recording or reproducing. The disk player (10) comprises a disk cartridge loading system (50) for transporting the disk cartridge (40) in a direction which is the same direction for the shutter (42) to move on the disk cartridge (40); a guide plate (23) provided on the inner side of the opening (21) within the disk player (10) for guiding the disk cartridge (40) when the disk cartridge (40) is being transported into or from the disk player (10) through the opening (21). In particular, the guide plate (23) has an inclined edge portion (23a) formed with a slope gradually inclined from an insertion/removal direction of the disk cartridge (40) into/from the disk player (10).
