    摘要： An automated cartridge library has an essentially rectangular library frame which includes a frame front wall (22) and a frame back wall (24), and a library door (30) provided on the frame front wall. A transport actuator and guide region (90) is provided within the frame, the transport actuator and guide region including both a guideway along which a cartridge transport assembly (92) reciprocates and an actuator (124) which causes the cartridge transport assembly to rotate from a first transport position to a second transport position. A library front section includes a cartridge magazine cavity (50) and a entry/exit port module (54). A library rear section includes a region for tape drives (60) and an auxiliary cartridge magazine (70). Cartridge magazines (64) are insertable into the cartridge magazine cavity when the library door is opened so that a reference surface of the cartridges face the transport actuator and guide region.

    摘要： 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.

    摘要： An automated library which handles cartridges of information storage media includes a magazine (40) which comprises a cartridge engaging member (1428) which deflects to preclude insertion of the magazine into a magazine cavity (840) in the library frame (36) when the cartridge is improperly inserted into the magazine. The magazine defines a cell for the cartridge and comprises a magazine wall (1420) from which cell partitions (1410) extend. The cartridge engaging member (1428) is a cantilevered arm having a distal end extending in a direction into which the cartridge is insertable into the cell, and has a cartridge engaging profile whereby, when a cartridge (C) is properly inserted into the cell, the cantilevered arm does not extend beyond a reference plane but when the cartridge is not properly inserted the cantilevered arm deflects beyond a reference plane. The magazine wall has an arcuate shape, and has plural cell partitions for defining plural cells, with mouths of the plural cells being angularly arranged about an axis (100). The magazine wall has spaced apart ribs (1460) with a cartridge window (1664) formed between adjacent ribs. In addition, the magazine wall has at least one handle fin (1470) extending therefrom. A trough (848) is formed at a first edge of the magazine-receiving aperture of the library frame accommodates a semi-cylindrical protrusion (1476) on the magazine. Upon insertion the semi-cylindrical protrusion pivots in the trough. The library frame has a lock (860) proximate the second edge of the magazine-receiving aperture for locking the magazine into the magazine-receiving aperture.

    摘要： 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.
