An apparatus for generating a bias magnetic field to a magneto-optical disk includes a movable magnet which serves to generate a bias magnetic field. A suitable device serves to generate a drive magnetic field to move the magnet. A stopper is engageable with the magnet to stop the magnet at a predetermined position.

A shutter opening and device includes movable components such as a lever, an actuating pin and a spring all disposed in a guide channel of a cartridge holder into which a disk cartridge is inserted. The device of this construction is low in profile and compact in size and makes it possible to reduce the overall size of a disk drive in which the device is incorporated. With the combination of a straight guide groove and an oblique guide groove formed in the cartridge holder, the actuating pin is movable along a substantially straight path. This enables the user to insert the disk cartridge into the cartridge holder smoothly with a small muscular effort.

A disk clamping mechanism for disk recording and reproducing devices of the type in which when a disk cartridge with a disk enclosed therein is inserted into the device the disk clamping mechanism is actuated to clamp the raised groove guard formed around the rim of the disk so that when the cartridge is pulled out of the device the disk remains therein. The clamping mechanism includes a pair of clamping fingers with projections adapted for engagement with the groove guard when the forces pulling out the cartridge are transmitted to the disk. A linkage or a mechanism comprising a wedge and tapered surfaces is operatively connected to the clamping fingers in such a way that when a pulling force is exerted on the disk and the clamping fingers, the linkage or mechanism causes the clamping arms or fingers to move further toward each other, thus exerting a stronger clamping force on the disk.

A confocal microscope is provided that can perform automatic focussing. A beam splitter (9) is additionally disposed along an optical path of light split from reflected light from the surface of an object of a confocal microscope, whereby when light is focussed on the surface of a light detector (7), a difference between a quantity of light detected by a second light detector (11) and a quantity of light detected by a third light detector (13) is constructed so as to become a predetermined quantity, while when light is not focussed on the surface of the light detector (7), the difference between the quantity of light detected by the second light detector and the quantity of light detected by the third light detector is a quantity of light that is different from the predetermined quantity, and the object is automatically controlled such that the difference in quantity of light between the light detectors becomes the predetermined quantity.

A flat tray (1) for receiving a disk cartridge (21) for a disk loading apparatus, wherein positioning holes (28) are provided at the rear end (27a), on a peripheral side, of the disk cartridge, and protrusions (18) are formed on the tray providing for a rigid positioning of the cartridge in order to fix the cartridge at the specified position on the tray. The protrusions (18) may be made of leaf springs that are formed with one end curved. When the disk cartridge (21) is pushed into the tray (1), the curved portions of the protrusions match the positioning holes (28) on the disk cartridge.
摘要:
A recording and reproducing apparatus using high density recording disk, such as optical disk. The recording and reproducing device of this invention can accommodated both disk and disk cartridges of a plurality of differing sizes. Because this invention can accommodate both disk and disk cartridges, a single device that can both record and reproduce information to or from a high density disk is achieved.

The present invention enables a disc loading apparatus to handle both a bare disc and a disc housed in disc cartridge for writing/reading signals, which comprises a holding device consisting of a first holding device for elastically fitting with holding cuts provided at both sides of a disc cartridge inserted in an inserting gate and a second holding device for elastically holding the circumferential edge of a bare disc inserted in said inserting gate, which device is movable along a direction connecting said inserting gate and a table, and a transfer means to carry said holding device so that disc and a disc housed in said disc cartridge travel between said inserting gate and said turn table; thus a bare disc and a disc cartridge are selectively held by the holding device to be loaded.

An objective lens actuator for an optical storage drive includes a cross-sectionally L-shaped torsion plate spring which is fixed at its central portion to an objective lens holder and at its opposite ends to free ends of a pair of parallel spaced, cantilevered plate springs. The torsion plate spring is caused to twist to displace the objective lens holder and an objective lens mounted thereon in the tracking direction. The parallel spaced plate springs are caused to bend to displace the objective lens holder and the objective lens in the focusing direction.

An optical unit actuator for an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus includes an electromagnetic drive mechanism composed of a coil and a magnet cooperative to drive an objective lens mounted on an optical unit. One of the coil and the magnet is secured to the optical unit. The other of the coil and the magnet is held on a fixed unit with an elastic support member disposed therebetween, the fixed unit being immovable as against the movable optical unit. The elastic support member substantially dampens or takes up vibration caused by a reaction force creased as a result of acceleration of the objective lens when the objective lens is driven to follow a dynamic radial runout and an axial deflection of an optical disk. With the elastic support member thus provided, an optical component, a photo-electric transducer or the optical disk which is disposed on the side of the fixed unit is isolated from vibration. The control characteristics of a system including an optical head, the optical disk and a control circuit for the optical head can, therefore, be improved.
