摘要： A storage medium leader mechanism for threading a film of a storage medium on a machine reel in a storage medium apparatus along a guide includes a rotational shaft and a leader block. The leader block includes a first contact unit that is contactable with the guide that guides the leader block, and a second contact unit that is contactable with the guide. The first and second contact units are co-planar, a co-planarity of the first and second contact units being substantially perpendicular to a rotation axis of the rotational shaft.

摘要： A threading mechanism in a magnetic writing/reading apparatus wherein a leader block for taking a magnetic tape out of a tape cartridge is stabilized in motion and ensured to operate reliably even in a state of not holding the tape is to be provided. In the mechanism for threading the magnetic tape to a reel within the apparatus, the leader block for taking out a leader pin out of the tape cartridge is rotatably fitted to the arm shaft of a movable arm, and the leader block moves along guides at the time of loading the tape cartridge. Further, the leader block 10 has a leader block holder 11; when it is not holding the leader pin at the time of loading the tape cartridge, the leader block 10 is held on to the arm shaft by the leader block holder 11; and after an operation to grab the leader pin, is released from the arm shaft to become freely rotatable by the shift of the leader block holder 11.

摘要： The present method for unlocking a single reel tape cartridge locking mechanism in a tape cartridge load operation aids the release of the tape cartridge locking mechanism by manipulating the supply reel motor which is engaged to the single reel tape cartridge in a manner that causes the stuck tape cartridge locking mechanism to release. In order to aid the release of the tape cartridge locking mechanism during the tape cartridge loading procedure, the supply reel motor is operated cyclically to cause the supply reel to vibrate. This vibration is held for a predetermined period of time. At the end of the vibration cycle, the tape drive attempts to pull the tape cartridge leader out of the tape cartridge. If the tape drive again detects that the tape cartridge locking mechanism is not released, it repeats the vibration sequence. The drive can execute a predetermined number of attempts to release the tape cartridge locking mechanism in this manner. If this process is not successful, then the tape drive logs a failure and rejects the tape cartridge by ejecting the tape cartridge from the tape drive.

摘要： A tape drive for use with a tape may comprise a head for performing read and/or write operations on the tape, a drive leader that is cooperable with the tape for moving the tape through the tape drive, and a retraction mechanism for retracting the tape, the drive leader and/or a cartridge leader attached to the tape away from the head to allow at least a portion of the drive leader to pass by the head without contacting the head. The retraction mechanism may include a movable pin that is engageable with the tape, the cartridge leader and/or the drive leader, the pin being movable from a first position proximate the head to a second position disposed further away from the head than the first position.

摘要： A tape drive having a reel release sensing procedure and system is provided. In one example, the tape drive includes a motor coupled to a reel driver for driving a reel of a storage device, a sensor for detecting movement associated with the reel driver, and a controller. The controller operates to activate the motor to rotate the reel driver prior to coupling the tape to a drive leader. The controller further determines if the reel driver moved in response to activating the motor based on a signal from the sensor, and causes the tape to be loaded into the drive if the reel moved (or moved more than a predetermined amount/distance). For example, the controller may determine the reel is released if the reel driver moved in response to activating the motor and is not released otherwise.

摘要： Retention portions that retain a leader member of recording tape are formed inside a case, and a spring member pushes the leader member toward the retention portions. The spring member contacts support point members, and the support point members serve as support points when the spring member deforms. The support point members, which are disposed such that they protrude from side walls of the case, include a height D1 from an inner surface (attachment reference surface) of the side walls. The spring member is bent such that its height at positions contacting the support point members from the attachment reference surface includes a height D2 in a state where the spring member is not attached to the case. Here, D2≦D1. When the spring member is attached to the case, the spring member always contacts the support point members. Thus, the pushing force of the spring member is stable.
