摘要:
A disk drive preventing entry of air containing dust into a cartridge when a rotation table enters from an opening formed in a bottom surface of the cartridge and makes a disk-shaped recording medium rotate includes a carrier in which a cartridge accommodating a hard disk is loaded, a rotation table which enters from a disk drive opening in the bottom surface of the cartridge, clamps and makes the disk rotate when the cartridge is loaded in the carrier, and a sealing member which is attached to the carrier and which is formed with a lip in press-contact with the bottom surface of the cartridge so as to surround the disk drive opening when the cartridge is loaded in the carrier. The sealing member includes through holes through which height positioning projections penetrate to attach the sealing member to the carrier.

To perform a high dustproof when a disk drive apparatus records and/or reproduces information signals on a disk shape recording medium, which is stored rotatably within a disk cartridge. The present invention provides a disk drive apparatus for recording and/or reproducing information signals on a disk shape recording medium, which is stored rotatably within a disk cartridge comprising a case having a cartridge storing space in which the disk cartridge is inserted, rotatably driving means for holding the disk shape recording medium, which is stored within the disk cartridge, which is inserted in the cartridge storing space and for rotatably driving the disk shape recording medium, shielding means for defining a shielded space by covering a surrounding area of the rotatably driving means for holding the disk shape recording medium and a filter for removing a dust or the like inside of the cartridge storing space. The shielded space and the cartridge storing space communicate each other via said filter.

A disk storage apparatus has a magnetic head (8) that is completely retracted outside of a disk cartridge, except upon a reading/writing operation. The magnetic head (8) is inserted into the disk cartridge (16) only upon the reading/writing operation. The disk storage apparatus can completely retract a rotation actuator to an outside of a disk cartridge. The disk storage apparatus can be reliably and stably operated and has a reduced overall thickness.
摘要:
A door operable in unison with a cartridge holder is provided at the entrance of the apparatus, whereby a movement amount of a cartridge holder (23) is set to be an amount made smaller than a thickness of a disk cartridge (1) and also to be an amount in which the disk cartridge (1) can be prevented from interfering with a spindle motor (3) when the disk cartridge (1) is loaded and unloaded. The thickness of the disk storage apparatus can be reduced, and hence the whole of the disk storage apparatus can be reduced in thickness.

In a removable disk storage apparatus, a reading/writing head can be stably and reliably moved so as to correspond to an information recording medium. A rotation supporting member for supporting the reading/writing head is formed of a rotary arm and an elastic supporting member fitted to a tip end portion of the rotary arm for supporting the reading/writing head. The rotary arm member is formed by bending it so that it should be dogleg-shaped. The elastic supporting body is fixed on a tip end portion of a bent portion thereof in the extended direction in which the elastic supporting body is bent. The rotary arm is inserted into a disk cartridge substantially straight with its tip end being faced to the disk cartridge, and then supported by a ramp on a center line thereof.

A disk cartridge permits improved efficiency of airflow circulation in a disk accommodation chamber and improved efficiency of dust collection, and also allows the spring force of a shutter spring to be reduced. In a cartridge main body of the disk cartridge, a spring accommodation chamber is formed outside a disk accommodation chamber. The spring accommodation chamber is separated by upper and lower partitions of upper and lower halves so that it is discrete and independent from the disk accommodation chamber. An elastic member installed in the spring accommodation chamber is used to rotatably drive a shutter opening and closing arm in the direction for closing.

A removable disc cartridge including a case including a top shell and a bottom shell which contains rotatably a disk. The removable disk cartridge is insertable into a disk drive and has a curved portion formed on one side, an opening formed on a portion of the curved portion, and a shutter for opening and closing the opening. The curved portion in this disk cartridge is asymmetrical in the left and right directions with respect to a center line along the direction of insertion into the disk drive. The removable disk cartridge further has a guide groove on at least one other side thereof and an arm which is disposed in the guide groove for opening and closing the shutter.
