This disk-reproducing apparatus has a feature that a rotor 24 of a disk motor, a table 32 and a centering part 33 of a disk-chucking section 31 are formed into one body. Therefore, its overall height can be made smaller than a disk drive mechanism, which is formed by assembling separately produced parts such as a rotor, a table and a centering part. And, it can be assembled with high accuracy. Besides, by additionally integrating a motor shaft with the rotor, the table and the centering part, a disk drive mechanism can be provided with less unevenness of assembling accuracy, such as unevenness of a press-fitting length of the motor shaft into a shaft hole of the disk-chucking section.

A pocket recorder is provided for use by aircraft passengers and others that might encounter a tragic experience. The recorder is operated mechanically with a spring drive and includes an audio recording tape. A floatation balloon is contained with the recorder for ejection at a selected depth below the surface of water such as an ocean to provide buoyancy to the recorder to provide an aid in the recovery process.

A frame plate (19) is mounted to the inside of a case (4) of a magnetic recording device. (1), and a disk drive motor and a head body (5) are mounted to the frame plate (19). A member (88) for preventing the deformation of the case is provided between the case (4) and the frame plate (19). The member (88) is placed in a cartridge passing area by the action of a spring in the absence of the cartridge (2), but the member (88) is pressed with the front end of the cartridge (2) when the cartridge (2) is moved forward, the member (88) is forced to retreat to the outside of the cartridge passing area.

A hard disk drive that can suppress an increase of fluttering and power consumption at high rotation speed by increasing the seek speed of a magnetic head is disclosed. An enclosure case has a 3.5 inch form factor, and a magnetic disk has an outer diameter of, for example, 84 mm. A center of the magnetic disk is shifted from a center of the enclosure case in the width direction. Owing to this, by designing a larger voice coil, it is possible to increase the driving speed of the actuator.

A recording medium driving apparatus having a disk-shaped first medium, and a second medium formed of a disk housed in a cartridge case, the first and second media being retained at two vertically shifted positions in a frame member, and information being recorded and/or reproduced on and/or from the first and second media by using the same optical pickup. The recording medium driving apparatus includes a driving unit which can be vertically and horizontally moved with respect to the frame member and on which at least the optical pickup and a transporting mechanism for transporting the optical pickup are mounted. The driving unit vertically and horizontally moves in the frame member thereby to selectively oppose the optical pickup to either of the first and second media retained in the two different positions. This arrangement makes it possible to select either of two media simultaneously loaded on the apparatus to record and/or reproduce information to/from the selected medium, thus obviating the necessity for replacing a medium with a target medium, and providing significantly improved convenience.

A miniaturized optical disc memory is receivable in a slot, of about 17 mm height, normally accommodating a floppy disc drive. A base includes a base plate with integral, peripheral sidewalls and an internal lateral partition wall which define a cartridge receiving slot on the upper surface of the base plate. First and second support plates extend from the partition wall to the rear peripheral sidewall of the base and define respective, first and second upper mounting surfaces and lower first and second cavities respectively receiving an ejection motor and a fixed optical system, individual optical components being mounted and aligned on integral, precision machined blocks in the second cavity for transmitting a laser beam and receiving a reflected beam along a central, longitudinal optical axis beneath the base plate. A first base plate aperture accommodates a lens carriage driven in reciprocating motion along the axis for receiving and redirecting the laser beam vertically for scanning an optical disc and receiving a reflected beam and redirecting same to the fixed optical system. The movable optical system is locked in a rest position and is released by insertion of a cartridge to permit scanning movement thereof. A disc drive unit is mounted beneath the base plate for reciprocating vertical movement through a second aperture therein to a raised position for engaging and driving, in rotation, an optical disc of a cartridge inserted into the apparatus and to a lowered position for releasing the cartridge and permitting ejection thereof.

A disk cartridge in which a pair of shutter members can be opened and closed smoothly and reliably, and a dust-proof property and an airtightness of a large opening portion can be increased by reducing a space between a pair of shutter members and a cartridge housing as much as possible. The disk cartridge comprises a cartridge housing in which a disk compartment is formed between an upper shell and a middle shell by overlapping the upper shell, the middle shell and the lower shell and the middle shell is supported by the upper shell and the lower shell so as to become freely rotatable, an optical disk rotatably stored within the disk compartment and a pair of shutter members attached to the middle shell in such a manner that they can be moved in the plane direction on the same plane. A shutter opening and closing mechanism for opening and closing opening portions by moving the pair of shutter members based rotation of the middle shell.

An optical disk can be stored safely within a case during its use and the case can be folded to a smaller size of a depth size less than a diameter of the optical disk during its non-use. The bottom cover and the bottom slider are connected to each other in such a way that they may be extended or retracted, the top cover and the top slider attached to the bottom cover and the upper part of the bottom slider in such a way that they may be opened or closed are also connected in such a way that they may be extended or retracted, thereby there is provided a case in which the top cover may also be extended or retracted in respect to the top slider, the case is extended to form the disk storing space within the case.

An electronic equipment, such as a tape recorder, having a loading section on one surface for loading a recording medium and a lid for opening/closing the loading section. This electronic equipment includes a lock mechanism for locking the lid in the closed position and an unlock mechanism for unlocking the lid. The unlock mechanism has an operating member extended along one lateral surface of the main body portion of the equipment and other lateral surfaces intersecting this one surface for covering the opening side of a recess formed at a corner of the main body portion. The unlock mechanism unlocks the lid by the operating member of the unlock mechanism being moved along the one lateral surface of the main body portion so that the operating member is partially immersed in the recess.
摘要:
An arrangement structure of the printed circuit board and the interface cable connector of a magnetic disk drive for increasing the degree of freedom of the arrangement of a spindle motor, and for minimizing the size of a printed circuit board. An interface cable connector is disposed on the side opposite to the spindle motor, and the printed circuit board is sized so as not to contact with the spindle motor in the height direction. This allows the degree of freedom of the arrangement of the spindle motor to increase. Further, the distance between the interface cable connector and the preamplifier connector on the printed circuit board is short. Thus, the size of the printed circuit board can be made as small as possible.
