摘要： The horizontally oriented autoloader for data storage cartridges orients the data storage cartridges in a horizontally oriented loading bin, and occupies a vertical space consistent with the vertical dimensions of the associated cartridge drive. These features of the present autoloader thereby enable multiple autoloader equipped cartridge drives to be mounted in a vertical stack. This increases the effective utilization of the computer center floor space. In addition, the bookshelf design of the autoloader trays allows for easier loading and unloading of cartridges, with the data storage cartridges being maintained in the same order and orientation as they were in the manual storage racks from which they were removed. The horizontal data storage cartridge movement mechanism is spring loaded to attain higher performance without motor drive. Furthermore, smaller motors are used in the data storage loading mechanism than in the vertically oriented autoloader systems to implement the necessary autoloader functions while consuming less power.

摘要翻译： 用于数据存储盒的水平定向的自动装载机将数据存储盒定向在水平定向的装载箱中，并占据与相关的盒式驱动器的垂直尺寸一致的垂直空间。 因此，本自动装载机的这些特征使得能够将多个自动装载机配备的卡盘驱动器安装在垂直堆叠中。 这增加了计算机中心楼层空间的有效利用。 此外，自动装载机托盘的书架设计允许更容易地装载和卸载墨盒，数据存储盒保持在与它们被移除的手动存储架中相同的顺序和取向。 水平数据存储盒移动机构是弹簧加载的，以在没有电机驱动的情况下获得更高的性能。 此外，在数据存储装载机构中使用较小的电动机，而不是在垂直定向的自动装载机系统中实现必要的自动装载机功能，同时消耗更少的功率。

摘要： A cartridge changer having a predetermined width across a predetermined rotational plane, includes a rack being rotatable and storing at least first and second cartridges in a predetermined rotational plane, wherein at least one distance extending across the first and second cartridges in the predetermined rotational plane and through a rotational axis of the rack is greater than the predetermined width of the cartridge changer, and a rotator for rotating the rack in the predetermined rotational plane, so as to exchange a position of the first and second cartridges within the rotational plane without exceeding the predetermined width of the cartridge changer. The rotator more specifically performs a combination of rotation and shifting of the first and second cartridges with respect to one another within the rotational plane to accomplish exchange of the first and second cartridges within the rotational plane without exceeding the predetermined width of the cartridge changer. The shifting is more specifically linear displacement of the first and second cartridges in a direction parallel to a diameter defined in the predetermined rotational plane and through the rotational axis of the rack, and wherein an amount of linear displacement of the first and second cartridges at any given point of rotation is dependent on an amount of angular displacement of the rack from a predetermined position.

摘要： Disclosed is an automated data storage library for storage and retrieval and selective export and import of portable data storage media stored in storage cells of portable magazines. Each portable magazine has a detent, and has registration surfaces, such as a sleeve at each of two corners. A columnar elevator supports a columnar stack of the portable magazines, and has an opening at its top level external to the library, and pushes the stack toward the top level. Fixed registration shafts in the library mate with the magazine sleeves to prevent lateral movement while allowing columnar movement of the magazines. The media may be accessed by a picker at the storage cells of the magazines at all levels in the stack internal to the library. A releasable latch engages the detent of the magazine at the penultimate level of the stack (e.g., the top position within the library), holding the stack against the upward pushing of the elevator, and external latches each engage a magazine in the stack at the top level. Selected ones of the latches are released by a library manager or operator to allow the elevator to push a selected magazine in the column to the top level, where it may be exported. The magazines held at the penultimate level or lower may still be accessed by the picker.
