Abstract: Cartridges (64) are loaded into or retrieved from an automated media library (20) either singly through an entry/exit port module (54), or by opening a library door (30) and inserting/removing a cartridge magazine (52) from a magazine cavity (50) of the library. Structures are provided for precluding against overinsertion of a cartridge. An entry/exit port cartridge overinsertion protection assembly (450) is provided to prevent overinsertion of a media cartridge loaded into the entry/exit port module. The entry/exit port cartridge overinsertion protection assembly includes a cartridge restraint member (452) which is pivoted away from a cartridge restraint position by a cartridge transport device (92) when the transport device seeks to obtain or deposit a cartridge at the entry/exit port. A cartridge restraint assembly (300) is also provided to guard against overinsertion of a cartridge stored in a cartridge magazine. The cartridge restraint assembly which guards against overinsertion of a cartridge stored in a cartridge magazine is responsive to movement of a library door. Upon movement of the door from a door closed position to a door open position, the cartridge restraint assembly responsively moves into a cartridge restraint position to prevent over positioning of a cartridge situated in the cartridge magazine.

Abstract: A cartridge library comprises plural cells for accommodating therein a cartridge of information storage media and a tape drive which transduces information relative when a cartridge is loaded into the drive. A cartridge loader (also known as the cartridge transport assembly) is mounted to the drive assembly for picking a selected cartridge from one of the cells and for inserting the selected cartridge into a cartridge slot in the drive. The drive assembly is stationary but the cartridge loader is pivotal about the drive assembly, and particularly about a pivot axis which is parallel to a center line of the data cartridge when the data cartridge is inserted into the drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a toothed transport track engageable by the cartridge transport assembly for incremental pivotal motion of the cartridge transport assembly about the pivot axis. The library also has a wall connected to the library frame, the wall having a series of windows formed in predetermined relationship with the cells of the magazine. The windows are used to detect a status (e.g., presence, absence, misinsertion) of the data cartridge in the magazine. In addition, the series of windows are employed for detecting a position of the cartridge transport assembly about the pivot axis. The cartridge transport assembly comprises a carriage first section and a carriage second section which is translatable relative to the carriage first section. A pair of cartridge engagement arms are mounted to the carriage second section for selectively partially inserting the data cartridge into the drive assembly. The cartridge transport assembly further includes a secondary cartridge contact member (forming part of a “flipper assembly”) which operates in response to movement of the engagement arm to moves the selected cartridge from partial insertion to full insertion into the drive. Also, the secondary cartridge contact member serves as a stop surface when the cartridge is ejected from the drive.

Abstract: A precoat filter element for a precoat filter unit comprises a flow distributor and flow straightener. The flow distributor surrounds a filter septum and has openings through which liquid may flow. The proportion between the area of openings and the area of a wall of the flow distributor may vary along the length of the septum to distribute flow over the length of the filter septum in a predetermined manner. A flow straightener is provided at the base of the septum to reduce turbulence during precoat and filtration operations, and to reduce the occurrence of large flocs in precoat slurries during coating operations.

Abstract: A method of making a succession of food or beverage containers each comprising a vessel having a mouth surrounded by a rim presenting an upper surface of plastics material. The method comprises filling each vessel in turn and feeding over the vessel a continuous composite web of lidding material produced by forming spaced apart perforations, each comprising at least one through hole, in a continuous first web of diaphragm material having a plastics surface weldable to the vessel rim. The method also comprises forming spaced apart pull tabs in a continuous second web of peel strip material by folding each of a succession of portions of the second web against itself to form each pull tab and subsequently applying and peelably securing the second web which is narrower than the first web to the first web so as to obturate the perforations such that one pull tab is situated adjacent each perforation and remains secured to the second web only at a junction on its one end. Moreover, the method comprises cutting a lid from the web and securing the lid by an endless peripheral weld to the upper surface of the rim thereby closing the vessel.

Abstract: A multiple cartridge filter assembly is provided with a removable filter array to facilitate the rapid replacement of an entire array having spent cartridges with another identical array having fresh cartridges, after which the spent cartridges of the removed array may be replaced. The removable filter array includes a separation plate from which the filter cartridges hang suspended in sealing engagement therewith and a dual position support platform connected to the separation plate and located beneath the lower blind ends of the cartridges. The support platform maintains the cartridges sealingly engaged with the separation plate when the removable array is in its working condition but automatically drops down relative to the separation plate when the array is removed to accommodate the replacement of the cartridges. In the preferred practice of the invention the movement of the support platform relative to the separation plate is limited to that which permits removal of the filter cartridges at an angle but not vertically.
