When box 14 when move the end of box retainer 28, the shutter 14b of box 14 moves along the direction opened, that is, along the direction of arrow B among Fig. 1, like this, open upper and lower magnetic head and enter window 14c, 14c (upper magnetic head only is shown enters window 14c) in Fig. 1.The result who does like this, the magnetic head (not shown) that constitutes signal reader and signal writing station can contact with diskette 1 4a or near floppy disk, and can read signal from diskette 1 4a and signal is written to diskette 1 4a.
When box 14 was inserted into the back (with reference to Figure 10) of box retainer 28, the locking in the rear end of the range of movement of sliding part 16 was released.Then, owing to reverse the bias force of disc spring 27, sliding part 16 moves to the front end (with reference to Figure 11) of range of movement immediately along the direction of the arrow F among Figure 10.When sliding part 16 when the rear end of range of movement moves to front end, guide finger 30b, the 30b of box retainer 28 moves to the lower end from the sloping portion 19b of the groove 19,19 of sliding part 16, the upper end of 19b.Therefore, box retainer 28 moves to the lower end of its range of movement, and the diskette 1 4a that are bearing in the box 14 on the box retainer 28 are installed in a (not shown) disc spins mechanism in, and rotates under disc spins mechanism drives.Because sliding part 16 moves to the front end of its range of movement, so, the ejector knob 15 that is fitted into sliding part 16 from the outwards outstanding scopes of front panel 3 become big (with situation Fig. 9 and Figure 11 relatively).When box 14 is inserted into the back of box retainer 28, be stored in an ejection power that is used for box 14 is ejected into from box retainer 28 in the ejecting mechanism (not shown) of front.At this moment, the lower end of cover plate 5 contacts with the upper surface of box 14 forcibly.
Owing to carry out the above-mentioned process that box 14 is installed to floppy disk drive unit 1, that is, finish the loading procedure of the diskette 1 4a that constitutes recording medium, so, remain on such state: can be on diskette 1 4a write signal and read signal from diskette 1 4a.
When finish from diskette 1 4a read signal and/or on diskette 1 4a write signal, and box 14 to be when to be withdrawn from, the ejector knob 15 outstanding from the front of front panel 3 is pushed into, that is, move along the direction shown in the arrow C among Figure 11.
Because advance ejector knob 15, promptly the direction along the arrow R among Figure 11 moves, sliding part 16 moves to the back.Because sliding part 16 moves backward, so the position that guide finger 30b, the 30b of box retainer 28 engages with the groove of sliding part 16 19,19 on moving to from the lower end of sloping portion 19b, 19b, thereby moves up box retainer 28.
When ejector knob 15 is pushed into, when sliding part 16 arrived the rear end of range of movement, sliding part 16 was locked in the rear end of range of movement, and box retainer 28 arrives the upper end of range of movement, and the power that is stored in the ejecting mechanism (not shown) is released.Its result, box 14 moves along the direction that ejects from box retainer 28, and the part of box 14 is protruding from the insertion/taking-up opening 4 of front panel 3.When box 14 moves along the direction that ejects, cause shutter 14b to turn back to the position of closing, that is, turn back to state as shown in Figure 1.
Then, by catching and pull out the part of the box 14 that stretches out from insertion/taking-up opening 4, box 14 can take out from floppy disk drive unit 1.When box 14 took out from floppy disk drive unit 1, owing to reverse the bias force of disc spring 9, cover plate 5 rotated along the direction shown in the arrow D among Fig. 9, thereby closes insertion/taking-up opening 4.
Adopt above-mentioned floppy disk drive unit 1, joint prodger 12,12... are arranged on the front panel 3, so that front panel 3 is fitted on the casing 2.Then, engage with conjugate foramen 13,13... on being arranged on casing 2 owing to engage prodger 12,12..., thereby front panel 3 is fitted on the casing 2.Yet, if conjugate foramen is formed on the front panel 3, be formed on the casing 2 and engage prodger, also can show same result.In the example of modification shown in Figure 12, engage prodger 36,36... is formed on the sidewall 2a of casing 2, and conjugate foramen 37,37... are formed on the fitting piece 11,11... of front panel 3.
In the example of this modification, when front panel 3 when the direction of arrow R moves, joint fastener 11 successfully slides on the inside surface of the sidewall 2a of casing 2.Then, the end of joint fastener 11 contacts with the front inclined surface 36a that engages prodger 36, and successfully slides.Joint fastener 11 is then along the direction bending of arrow C CW (with reference to the line of the single-point among Figure 12), so, conjugate foramen 37 very fast with engage prodger 36 joints.
If the power of applying moves front panel 3 in the direction of arrow F, then when front panel 3 when casing 2 is removed, the distolateral edge 37a of conjugate foramen 37 successfully slides along the rear end side inclined surface 36b of joint prodger 36.Therefore, joint fastener 11 is along the direction bending of arrow C CW, and this discharges the joint of conjugate foramen 37 and joint prodger 36, and like this, front panel 3 can move in the direction of arrow F.Then, can from casing 2, remove front panel 3.
Therefore, in the example of this modification, can be on casing 2 dismounting front panel 3, and do not need any part except front panel 3 and casing 2.
In addition, engage prodger 23 and be formed on the sliding part 16, and conjugate foramen 34 is formed on the ejector knob 15, so that ejector knob 15 is fitted on the sliding part 16 of floppy disk drive unit 1, but also conjugate foramen can be formed on the sliding part 16, be formed on the ejector knob 15 and will engage prodger.
Figure 13 illustrates the example of a modification of constructing in the following manner, and wherein, conjugate foramen 38 is formed in the button supporting member of sliding part 16, is formed in ejector knob 15 coupling parts 33 and engage prodger 39.Engage prodger 39 and form one trapezoidal (when observing from the side), and comprise a horizontal component 39a, a top side inclined surface 39b, and a base side inclined surface 39c.
When ejector knob 15 aligns with the button supporting member of sliding part 16 and when the direction of arrow R moves, engages the preceding end in contact of top side inclined surface 39b with the main leaf 22a of button supporting member 22 of prodger 39, and slip successfully on the end.Then, the upper surface portion 33a of the coupling part 33 of ejector knob 15 is along the direction bending of arrow C W, and joint prodger 39 slip successfully on the upper surface of main leaf 22a (with reference to the line of the single-point among Figure 13).
When joint prodger 39 enters into conjugate foramen 38, engage prodger 39 and conjugate foramen 38 and engage one another, so that ejector knob 15 is bearing in (with reference to the double dot dash line among Figure 13) on the sliding part 16.
When ejector knob 15 when sliding part 16 is removed, ejector knob 15 is held, and power is applied on the direction of arrow F.Therefore, the base side inclined surface 39c that engages prodger 39 successfully slides on the forward edge 38a of conjugate foramen 38.Then, the upper surface portion 33a of the coupling part 33 of ejector knob 15 is along the direction bending of arrow C W, and the joint that engages prodger 39 and conjugate foramen 38 is released, and ejector knob 15 can move in the direction of arrow F.Like this, ejector knob 15 can be removed from sliding part 16.
In the example of this modification, also can straight line mode dismounting ejector knob 15 and sliding part 16 forward, and do not need any instrument and do not need any part except ejector knob 15 and sliding part 16.
In the form of each part shown in the embodiment of the foregoing description and modification and structure only is in order to implement example of the present invention, thereby must not be interpreted as the restriction to technical scope of the present invention.
