    摘要: A data storage system is provided for storing and retrieving data. The system includes: a conveyor system for carrying a plurality of data cartridges; and, a plurality of independently operable drive mechanisms, each one having a data cartridge transfer mechanism. The conveyor system is adapted to position a selected one of the data cartridges to the transfer mechanism of a selected one of the drive mechanisms. When so positioned, the transfer mechanism removes the data cartridge and inserts it into the drive mechanism for processing (i.e., data may be written onto the data cartridge or data may be read from the data cartridge). The data cartridge may then be withdrawn from the drive mechanism after processing and returned to the conveyor system. Because each one of the drive mechanisms is operable independently of the other drives and each drive has its own transfer mechanism, more than one data cartridge may be processed during the same time period, or during overlapping time periods.

    摘要: A disk-changing device is disclosed which is able to house a plurality of disk-shaped recording media, and is capable of miniaturization. The recording media are arrayed in one orientation, and the play-back mechanism selects one desired disk, takes it out and performs a predetermined operation such as play-back on the data recorded on the disk. The play-back mechanism is constructed to be capable of movement between the housing positions of the recording media. This movement is based on a plurality of pairs of plate cams which are provided on the inside of the chassis of the device and are able to move reciprocally, and on cam followers which are provided in the play-back mechanism and are inserted into the cams of the plate cams. The shape of the cam is a back-switching stepped shape, with the result that it is constructed in such a way that the amount of movement of the play-back mechanism in the horizontal direction is small. Consequently, the volume of the device as a whole can be kept low.

    摘要: A disc reproduction apparatus includes a disc reproduction assembly and a tray accommodating unit positioned at either side of the disc reproduction assembly on the upper face of a main body of the apparatus. A disc tray group including a plurality of disc trays sequentially connected in series by a joint is provided in a movable manner between the tray accommodating units at either side of the disc reproduction assembly. In accordance with the travel of the disc tray group, one disc tray is selectively positioned in the disc reproduction assembly and the remaining disc trays are stored in the tray accommodating units. According to this structure, the number of loadable discs can be increased without unduly increasing the size of the entire apparatus and the complexity of the selecting mechanism.

    摘要: To provide a disk supporting apparatus, a disk holding apparatus and a disk apparatus whose planar dimension is minimized, and which can be manufactured simply and inexpensively. A plurality of supporting portions 44 inclines with respect to a top portion 46 as a vertex. A tray 26 is formed into a substantially triangular pyramid (three-dimensional) configuration, and a planar dimension of the tray 26 can be smaller than that of a conventional turntable. Accordingly, a plurality of disks can be mounted on the tray 26. The supporting portion 44 of the tray 26 can be placed in parallel to a door leaf without a slide mechanism that has conventionally been used for sliding a tray. Accordingly, a desired disk can be attached/detached merely by rotating and driving the tray 26, and a mechanism disposed at a stereo apparatus is made compact and manufactured inexpensively.
