Abstract

1433097 Conveying tape cartridges INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 1 May 1974 [29 May 1973] 19024/74 Heading B8A [Also in Divisions G3 and G5] Articles, e.g. magnetic tape containing cartridges 12 on a continuously rotating carrier 10, are withdrawn from the latter for processing in a unit 22L or 22R by a member 30A. A speed control unit (see Division G3) causes acceleration of a motor 68 driving the member 30A, so that it meets the selected cartridge at a speed equal to that of the carrier 10. Instead of the member 30A serving two units 22L, 22R, there may be four members 30 spaced around the periphery of the carrier 10 (Fig. 1) each being associated with a respective member 30. Instead of the carrier 10 being a circular carrier, it may be in the form of an endless belt. Each cartridge has an axially projecting annular edge 32 at each end (Fig. 11). These edges are engaged by projections 44 (Fig. 2) at the moment of transfer, and are retained by spring loaded plungers 43 (Fig. 2A, not shown). At the unit 22L or 22R grippers 206 have a reciprocating movement towards and away from the member 30A so as to engage and detach the cartridge and drop it into an aperture 208 in the processing unit. Subsequently, the cartridge (when its tape has been processed) is raised in the aperture 208, gripped again at 206, 207, and returned to the member 30A, which returns it to its correct location in the carrier 10. In the modified rotary carrier modification (Fig. 1, not shown) the member 30A is replaced by a member 30 which is double ended (this type is shown in Fig. 9) and when one end is carrying a cartridge from the carrier to the processing unit, the other end is taking a cartridge with a processed tape, back to the carrier 10. In a further modification (Fig. 7) the rotor comprises a stack of carriers 10, 10A 10B &c. A single member 30 serves all the carriers by being mounted, in addition to the rotation already described, for movement up and down a lead screw 14 and guide 116.
