Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention mainly relates to a composite FDD device used by being mounted on a desktop PC.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Recently, smart media and compact flash have been used as storage media for portable electronic devices such as digital cameras.

Therefore, in order to read / write them, a device having a dedicated slot is required. Until now, an external device has to be connected to a PC, or a PC card slot or a PC card slot has to be connected via an adapter. Reading / writing with FDD device. In order to solve this inconvenience, it is sufficient to mount the read / write device on the PC main body. However, since the mounting space of the ordinary PC is limited, the mounting space is often insufficient.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, the present invention focuses on the fact that almost all desktop PCs have a 1-inch (25.4 mm) high mounting space, ie, a bay, and do not hinder the use of the PC. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device capable of reading and writing these new storage media.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and the invention according to claim 1 includes a housing having an outer size of 25.4 mm in height, 101.6 mm in width, and 130 to 150 mm in depth. A composite FDD device comprising a 3.5-inch FDD device, a smart media read / write device, and a compact flash read / write device.

[0006] The invention according to claim 2 provides a 3.5-inch FDD device, a smart media slot, and a compact flash in a housing having a height of 25.4 mm, a width of 101.6 mm, and a depth of 130 to 150 mm. Is a composite FDD device characterized by implementing the above.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, a 3.5-inch FDD device and a memory stick read / write device are provided in a housing having a height of 25.4 mm, a width of 101.6 mm, and a depth of 130 to 150 mm. A composite FDD device having a media read / write device or a compact flash read / write device mounted thereon.

[0008] The invention according to claim 4 provides a 3.5-inch FDD device and a memory stick read / write device in a housing having an outer dimension of 25.4 mm in height, 101.6 mm in width, and 130 to 150 mm in depth. A composite FDD device characterized by mounting a media slot or a compact flash slot.

Each of the composite FDD devices according to claims 1 to 4 is used by being mounted on a bay of a desktop PC and used. In the case of the composite FDD devices according to claims 2 and 4, A required read / write device is provided at a position facing each slot.

[0010]

[Action]

 In the present invention, the external shape is formed to be large enough to be accommodated in the 3.5-inch FDD bay provided in the desktop PC, so that it can be easily mounted on the PC. Since it is equipped, it does not hinder normal use.

[0011]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view thereof, 1 is provided with a 3.5-inch FDD insertion slot 1a at an upper portion, and a smart media slot 1b and a compact flash slot 1c at a lower portion. Front panel.

[0012] Reference numeral 2 denotes a 3.5-inch (17.7 mm) high 3.5-inch FDD device attached to the rear of the front panel 1, and 4 is provided on the lower right side thereof so as to face the compact flash slot 1c. It is also a compact flash read / write device with a height of 1/2 inch (17.7 mm).

Although not shown in the drawings of this embodiment, a smart media reading / writing device having a height of イ ン チ inch (17.7 mm) is provided behind a smart media slot 1 b provided at the lower left of the front panel 1. The devices 3 are provided, and these devices are fixed to the housing 5, respectively, and the finished dimensions A × B × C are 25.4 mm × 101. It is configured to be 5 mm × 150 mm.

With the above configuration, if this is mounted in a bay for a 3.5-inch FDD device of a desktop PC, reading and writing of smart media and compact flash can be performed immediately, which is convenient. Since the 3.5-inch FDD does not become unusable while increasing the performance, information processing can be performed without any difference from the previous use.

In the illustrated embodiment, 3.5-inch FDD, smart media and compact flash can be read and written. However, 3.5-inch FDD and smart media and memory stick, or 3.5-inch FDD and 3.5-inch FDD can be used. It is self-evident that a compact flash and memory stick can be read and written.

[0016] Also, recently, PC users have become active in assembling PCs by themselves. As a composite FDD device, only a 3.5-inch FDD device 2 and a front panel provided with each slot are available. If the PC user has a read / write device corresponding to the slot in the PC main body as necessary, it is easy to make the PC suitable for the PC user.

[0017]

[Effect of the invention]

 As can be seen from the above description, according to the present invention, a thin 3.5-inch FDD device and a card-type media read / write device are integrated, and the external dimensions are the same as those of the conventional 3.5-inch FDD device. By doing so, it has become possible to equip a desktop PC with reading and writing of card-type media without requiring an occupied space other than the PC.
