Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a manufacture simple and inexpensive by directly piling a cartridge in upper and lower directions, housing it in a housing case, permitting a hand part having a narrowed part and a widened part in a head part to approach from the side of the housing case and holding the cartridge. CONSTITUTION:A head part 7 of a hand part 10 has a narrowed part 8 and a widened part 9, the hand part 10 approaches a cartridge 1 to be piledly housed in a cartridge housing part 6 in moving in an A direction from the side, it is brought into contact with the head part of the cartridge 1 in the widening part 9, and it is widened in the upper and lower directions (arrow B). When the hand part 10 is further moved in a horizontal direction (arrow A), the cartridge 1 is completely held between upper and lower members. When the hand part 10 is moved horizontally in a reverse direction (arrow C) in such a condition, the hand part 10 is moved in holding the cartridge 1, and the cartridge is pulled out from the cartridge housing part 6. At the time of housing the cartridge 1 in the cartridge housing part 6, the action is executed in a reverse order. Thus, the structure is sufficient for a simple one, and the manufacture can be made simple and inexpensive.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a cartridge magnetic tape device in which a cartridge containing a magnetic tape is mounted to write or read information.

[Conventional technology]

The cartridge accommodating section of a conventional cartridge magnetic tape device, in which a cartridge containing a magnetic tape is mounted to write and read information, has a plurality of shelf boards 14 arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. The cartridge 1 is placed on the shelf board 14.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional cartridge magnetic tape device as described above is
Since the cartridge accommodating section has a shelf board on which the cartridge is placed, the structure is complicated, and the accuracy of the arrangement of the shelf board becomes strict, so that manufacturing is difficult.

[Means to solve the problem]

The cartridge magnetic tape device of the present invention includes a storage case that directly stacks and stores a plurality of cartridges containing magnetic tapes, and a storage case that is provided on the lower surface of the ceiling plate of the storage case so that the top surface of the uppermost cartridge is a cartridge accommodating section having a first spring for pressing, a second spring provided on the upper surface of the bottom plate of the accommodating case for pressing the bottom surface of the lowest one of the cars 1 to 2; The members have a shape that once approaches and then spreads out again, and by approaching the cartridge accommodating portion from a horizontal direction and bringing the tip end into contact with the cartridge, the upper and lower members are pushed apart and the cartridge is gripped between them. It is equipped with a hand section for

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1A and 1B are a front view and a side view of a cartridge accommodating section according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the car 1 to ridge accommodating section 6 of this embodiment accommodates a plurality of car I/ridges 1 directly stacked in the vertical direction in the accommodating case 4.

A spring 2 is provided on the lower surface of the ceiling plate of the storage case 4 in contact with the upper surface of the uppermost car 1 to platform 1 to apply a downward pressing force. In addition, on the top surface of the bottom plate of the storage case 4,
A spring 3 is provided which contacts the lower surface of the lowest cartridge 1 and applies an upward pressing force. On the -4- side of the ceiling plate of the storage case 4, a bar 1 and a support 5 for carrying the cartridge storage section 4 by hand are provided.

FIGS. 2(a) to 2(c) are side views showing the operating state of the handle part for attaching and detaching the cartridge in the embodiment of FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 2(a), the tip 7 of the hand portion 10 has a concave portion 8 and a widened portion 9, which are shaped so that the member below L approaches and then widens again. , the hand section 10 is
Move from the side in the horizontal direction (
It approaches in the direction of arrow A), contacts the tip of the cartridge at its widening portion 9, and is spread in the vertical direction (arrow B). When the hand section 10 moves further in the horizontal direction (arrow A), the cartridge 1 is completely gripped between the upper and lower members as shown in FIG. 2(b). In this state, hand part 1
If we move 0 horizontally in the opposite direction (arrow C), we get Figure 2 (
As shown in c), the hand portion 10 moves while holding the cartridge 1 and pulls out the cartridge from the cartridge accommodating portion 6. Place the cartridge 1 into the cartridge housing section 6.
When accommodating the device, the operations are performed in the order of (C)→(b)→(a) in FIG.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the cartridge magnetic tape device of the present invention, the cartridges are stacked directly in the vertical direction and housed in the housing case, and the hand portion having the tapered part and the widened part at the tip is placed on the side of the housing case. By approaching the cartridge from both sides and gripping it, it is possible to obtain a cartridge magnetic tape device that is easy to manufacture and inexpensive.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIGS. 1(a) and (b) are front and side views of a cartridge accommodating portion according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2(a)
-(c) are side views showing the operating state of the half part in the embodiment of FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3(a) and (b) are front views showing the cartridge accommodating part of an example of a conventional cartridge magnetic tape device. FIG. 3 is a diagram and a side view.
