摘要： A removable cartridge for a disk drive where the cartridge has a housing, a disk contained within the housing and a mechanism for reducing the rattling of the disk when the cartridge is not inside the disk drive and for permitting the free rotation of the disk when the cartridge is inside the disk drive. The rattle-reduction mechanism includes an inclined surface defined in the housing and a member having a first portion and a second portion. The interaction between the second portion of the member and the inclined surface of the housing may cause the first portion of the member to move into and out of contact with the hub. The contact between the first portion and the hub reduces the tendency of the disk to rattle. In one example embodiment, the cartridge has a housing with cartridge nut threads and a cartridge screw with cartridge screw threads. In this embodiment, interaction between the cartridge nut and the cartridge screw threads may cause a portion of the cartridge screw to move into and out of contact with a flange of the hub. A structure in the disk drive causes the cartridge screw to rotate in a manner such that the interaction between the cartridge screw threads and cartridge nut threads causes the cartridge screw to move away from and no longer contact the hub.

摘要： A cartridge adapted to be inserted into a disk drive where the disk drive includes a read/write head and a finger for engaging the cartridge. The cartridge includes a housing defining a cartridge door port and a door control port, a rotatable media within the housing, a door that rotates about a pivot point between a closed position and an open position, a portion of the door blocking access to the rotatable media through the cartridge door port when the door is closed, and a door opening link having a first end and a second end, the first end being coupled to the door closer to the pivot point of the door than to the portion of the door that blocks the cartridge door port, the second end being movable between a closed location and an open location. The door is in the closed position when the second end of the door opening link is in the closed location, and the door is in the open position when the second end of the door opening link is in the open location. The door control port is adapted to permit the finger of the disk drive to extend through the door control port and push the second end of the door opening link from the closed location to the open location as the cartridge is inserted into the drive.

摘要： A removable cartridge 200 for a disk drive 30 which has a 1.8 inch form factor, has multifunction features which allow for high data storage capacity at a reduced size. The cartridge 200 includes a cartridge screw 206 which engages the cartridge nut 221 defined in the cartridge housing base 204 for allowing the disk 220 in the cartridge 200 to be positioned relative to the cartridge housing base 204 in order to successfully engage the spindle motor nose 56 of a disk drive 30. The cartridge screw 206 additionally prevents the disk 220 from rattling within the cartridge 200 whether the cartridge 200 is removed from the disk drive 30. The cartridge 200 further includes a multiplicity of projections 212, 214, 214, tang 208 and rails 216 which contact the drive 30 to perform the functions of proper reception and registration of the cartridge 200 in the cartridge receiving mechanism 53 of the disk drive 30 and proper operation of the cartridge 200 as the cartridge 200 is manipulated by the disk drive 30.

摘要： A removable cartridge disk drive includes a removable cartridge adapted to be received by a disk drive having a base plate and right and left guide walls. The cartridge inserts into the drive at an angle with the aid of a movable slider attached to one of the guide walls. Once inserted, the cartridge is locked in and held. During operation, a rotary actuator arm with adjustable angular orientation loads one or more read/write heads off of a fixed ramp onto the surface of a data storage disk contained inside the cartridge. After read/write operations are finished, the head is unloaded onto the fixed ramp and the cartridge is ejected from the drive at an angle.
