Abstract:
An accommodating case adapted for accommodating a disc cartridge therewithin. This accommodating case includes a bottom plate on which the disc cartridge is mounted, and a pair of side walls provided in a manner opposite to each other on the both sides of the bottom plate, and comprises a case body in which at least the upper surface side and the front side are opened, and a cover body adapted so that the base end portion side is rotatably supported at the back side of the case body, and fitted between a pair of side walls to close the range or portion at least from the upper surface side toward the front side of the case body. At the inner surface sides opposite to each other of the pair of side walls provided at the case body, there are respectively provided limiting portions for supporting both side edges of the cover body to limit the cover closing position when the cover body is rotated so that it is located at the position where it closes the range or portion from the upper surface side toward the front side of the case body. The disc cartridge to be accommodated can be inserted into the case body in a desired insertion direction form the opened portion extending from the upper surface side toward the front side of the case body.
Abstract:
A disk cartridge includes a center plate attached to an inner side of a cartridge casing which rotatably houses a disk utilized as a recording medium. The disk cartridge is mounted so as to be interposed between the inner side of the cartridge casing and a leading end of a spindle shaft of a disk drive for preventing abrasion or damage to the casing. The center plate is formed by cutting processing of a sheet roll of layered plate material. This roll of plate material is formed with a core of paper having an adhesive layer for mounting applied to one side thereof and a super abrasion resistant synthetic resing applied on the other side thereof for contacting the leading edge of the spindle shaft.
Abstract:
A disk cartridge for data storage or the like includes a cartridge casing having a disk formed as a data storage medium rotatably mounted therein. The cartridge casing includes an opening defined therethrough for allowing access to the rotatable disk. A substantially U-shaped metallic shutter is slidably disposed on the cartridge casing to as to cover and uncover the access opening according to sliding movement thereof. The metallic shutter is formed by bending processing of a metallic plate material, such as aluminium to form a substantially U-shaped shutter body having a display surface portion defined on an outer side thereof. The display portion is formed by pressing and deforming a selected area of the outer side of the shutter body and forming thereon a matt display area having a surface roughness greater than other surface portions of the shutter body. The surface roughness of the display may be established having a surface roughness equal to or greater than 5 with a thickness thereof being equal to or less than 30% of the general thickness of the shutter body. Also, the display surface area may be formed as a design, logo, character or the like.
Abstract:
In order to assure the assembly steps of a tape cartridge, a base plate of the cartridge has a rough surface. The rough surface is possessed by a plastic layer coated on the base plate. For producing the rough surface, fine particles and/or fibrous members are embedded in the plastic layer.
Abstract:
A cover of a tape or data cartridge to be used as an external memory for a computer includes a number of temporary fixture pins integral with a main body of the cover. The pins function to temporarily fix the main body to a base plate of the tape cartridge. The pins are arranged to be engageable respectively with engaging sections formed in the base plate. Each pin includes a first engagement portion for causing the main body to be provisionally fixed to the base plate in a state where the main body is in contact with the base plate, and a second engagement portion for causing the main body to be temporarily fixed to the base plate in a .state where the main body is separate from the base plate.
Abstract:
A zoom lens having a super wide angle has a first lens group having positive refracting power and arranged on an object side of the zoom lens; a second lens group having negative refracting power and arranged on an image side of the zoom lens; and a converter lens having positive refracting power and detachably attached between the first and second lens groups. A focal length of the zoom lens is changed by changing a distance between the first and second lens groups. The distance between the first and second lens groups is set to be wide on a wide angle side in a zooming region and narrow on a telescopic side in the zooming region. The focal length of the zoom lens at the super wide angle is set to be shorter than that at a wide angle end in the zooming region by mounting the converter lens on the wide angle side. In accordance with this structure, the super wide angle at a focal length shorter than that at a normal wide angle can be realized by adding the converter lens to the zoom lens composed of the first positive lens group and the second negative lens group without substantially increasing an entire length of the zoom lens.
Abstract:
A shutter for a cartridge for containing a recording medium that has excellent scratch resistance and dustproofness. The shutter is composed of a nonmagnetic corrosion resistant steel sheet containing at least about 10% by weight of Cr, and includes a front surface having a hardness (Hv) of not less than about 250 but not more than 400 and a roughness expressed as an average surface roughness (Ra) of not less than about 0.3 .mu.m but not more than 1.0 .mu.m, and a reverse surface having a roughness (Ra) adjusted to about 0.1 to 0.25 .mu.m if the reverse surface is finished as a dull surface, and adjusted to about 0.15 to 0.50 .mu.m if the reverse surface is finished by a grinding roll. The steel sheet has first and second surfaces which are to respectively constitute the outer and inner surfaces of the shutter, and which have surface roughness values corresponding to the above surface roughness values of the front and reverse surfaces of the steel sheet. In addition, the steel sheet has a hardness (Hv) of about 220 to 350 in the central portion of the thickness dimension thereof, and a hardness (Hv) of not less than about 250 but not more than 400 in the surface layer portion on the outer surface of the shutter.
Abstract:
A weft supply system of a loom using an overhead traveling truck between a package supply station and a weft supply station near the loom for holding and carrying a package wherein a package delivery device is connected to the package supply station for delivering specific types of packages to the package supply station.
Abstract:
A shutter for disk cassette, which is made of synthetic resin and shaped into a U-form in section, is heated again on a pair of corner portions thereof in order that the shutter does not deform during its lifetime.
Abstract:
In a zoom lens having a high variable magnification, first and second lens groups and respectively having negative and positive focal lengths are sequentially arranged from an object side of the zoom lens to an image side thereof. A combined focal length of an entire lens system is charged by changing a distance between the first and second lens groups while the position of an image surface is constantly held. The zoom lens is constructed such that the second lens group is constructed by front and rear lens groups respectively having positive and negative focal lengths.
