    Abstract: An automatic magnetic recording medium ejecting mechanism for use in combination with a magnetic disk driving unit employs the spindle motor of the magnetic disk driving unit as a driving source for ejecting a magnetic disk cassette therefrom. The automatic magnetic recording medium ejecting mechanism includes, as essential components thereof, a gear mechanism for transmitting the rotative force of the spindle motor to an ejecting plate so that the ejecting plate is moved to a standby position where the ejecting plate is locked by a pressing and locking device which locks the ejecting plate at the standby position and presses the magnetic disk cassette for ejection until a magnetic disk cassette is inserted in the magnetic disk driving unit, a switch for detecting the completion of operation of the spindle motor for moving the ejecting plate to the standby position, and a switch control device interlocked with the gear mechanism for controlling the switch. The gear mechanism includes a pinion which disconnects a subsequent gear train from the spindle motor when the spindle motor operates in the normal direction for a read/write operation, and connects the subsequent gear train to the spindle motor when the spindle motor operates in the reverse direction for ejecting the magnetic disk cassette.

    Abstract: This disclosure pertains to a remote stationary control box operating a coin operated automatic record selecting apparatus and public address system. The remote control box is provided with a tape player, microphone, and a record player, each of whose output signals are controlled by independent volume controls. Control switches allow the user to select which sound producing device, including the distant coin operated automatic record player, is to be operated. Mixing of signals allows the user to simulate the function of a radio broadcaster who presents musical selections and simultaneously or intermediately makes announcements and does accompanying. The control box programs record selections from the records stored within the distant automatic record player andfurther provides a pause switch which temporarily disables the beginning of play of an upcoming record therefrom.

    Abstract: The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein is directed to an electronic phonograph selector and memory system which enables the selection of records to be played after the proper amount of credits have been accumulated in a coin accumulating circuit. The system has a movable record carriage for placing a desired one of a plurality of records at a playing location. The record carriage is transported by receiving a drive signal indicating that a new carriage position is required. The code signal information is compared so that when the carriage is at its desired location the search signal is removed. The movable carriage has a position encoder so that binary code signal information corresponding to the various positions of the carriage can be detected and compared to the codes stored in a random access memory circuit.
