摘要:
An apparatus for loading a disc cartridge accommodated on a tray in a drive, a surface of the disc cartridge having a reference area and a low area concavely formed lower than the reference surface to have a predetermined step, includes an interference portion protruding on an upper surface of the tray to have a height corresponding to the step. Wherein the interference portion contacts an area which does not belong to a range in which the shutter moves in the low area of the disc cartridge when the disc cartridge is normally inserted, and the interference are when the disc cartridge is inserted in a reverse direction.

A disk cartridge (7) of a new standard requiring a minimum design change in improving a conventional disk cartridge in which an erroneous insertion prevention groove with a specified depth is formed in the front end face of a cartridge body, comprising a cartridge body (70) having outer dimensions in common with those of the cartridge body of the conventional disk cartridge, wherein the cartridge body (70) has formed therein an erroneous insertion prevention groove (71) opened in the same position as that of the erroneous insertion prevention groove of the conventional disk cartridge and having a smaller depth along a cartridge insertion direction (A) than the conventional erroneous insertion prevention groove, and a cartridge identification groove (72) with a specified depth which is not available in the conventional disk cartridge.

Disk cartridge 1, (21) in which disks having different disk diameters are stored in the respective cartridge housings that are different in size and thickness and the cartridge housing includes a shutter 7, (27) that can open and close are provided together with a shutter opening and closing member 9 which makes the shutter open by a shutter opening protrusion 9a when the disk cartridge is inserted into a drive device and makes the shutter close by a shutter closing protrusion 9b when said disk cartridge is removed from said drive device. Thus, shutter opening positions are made identical with shutter closing positions for both of the disk cartridge having a larger disk diameter and the disk cartridge having a smaller disk diameter. Moreover, each inserting end of said disk cartridges 1, (21) is formed as an arc-like surface shape 1a so that an inserting. direction into the drive device can easily be recognized.

There are obtained a disk cartridge apparatus and a disk cartridge in which a disk cartridge having a different format is made unable to be inserted into a drive apparatus from a mechanism standpoint so that a user can instantly recognize that the disk cartridge having the different format has been inserted into the drive apparatus by mistake. A disk cartridge apparatus and a disk cartridge include a first disk cartridge and a second disk cartridge having cartridge housings of the same shape to store therein disks of the system that can be recorded and read by light of red laser beams and light of blue laser beams. When the first disk cartridge is inserted into a first drive apparatus 19, a discriminating groove of the first disk cartridge becomes identical to a discriminating convex portion 20 of the first drive apparatus 19 to enable the first disk cartridge to be loaded on the first drive apparatus. When a disk cartridge 21 of a different kind is inserted into the first drive apparatus 19, the discriminating convex portion 20 and a discriminating groove 24 of the disk cartridge 21 of different kind become nonidentical to each other to inhibit the disk cartridge of the different kind from being loaded on the first drive apparatus.

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.

The presence of a disk cartridge (10) in a disk drive (40) is detected by obtaining a measure of the load on the spindle motor (82) of the disk drive and comparing that measure to a threshold value. The measure of load on the spindle motor may comprise (i) the time the spindle motor takes to spin-up to its full operating speed, (ii) the time the spindle motor takes to coast down to its operating speed from a first speed in excess of the operating speed, (iii) the voltage applied across the coils of the spindle motor, or (iv) the current drawn by the spindle motor.

摘要:
The invention provides a disk cartridge according to a new standard by making a minimized modification in the design of a conventional disk cartridge which comprises a cartridge body having an erroneous insertion preventing groove formed in its front end face and having a predetermined depth. The disk cartridge (7) of the new standard comprises a cartridge body (70) identical with the body of the conventional cartridge in external dimensions. The cartridge body (70) is formed with an erroneous insertion preventing groove (71) opened at the same position as the preventing groove of the conventional cartridge and smaller than this groove in depth along the direction A of insertion of the cartridge, and a cartridge identification groove (72) of predetermined depth not existing in the conventional cartridge.
