示したりしていた。(Prior Art) Generally, as shown in FIG. 1, in this type of magnetic disk device, after inserting a medium (not shown), a lever ( 6 (shown in FIGS. 2 and 3) is rotated in one direction, the media chuck mechanism 3 is interlocked with this, and the media chuck 3' is guided by the cylindrical surface of the spindle 1 supported by the bearing 2 and centered. It has a mechanism that allows the medium to be taken in and taken out by being coupled with the spindle 1 while being taken out, or released by rotating the lever in the opposite direction and returning the lever to its initial position. In this type of mechanism, if the lever is rotated in the wrong direction, the mechanism may be damaged. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, a stopper 8 is provided to prevent the lever 6 from rotating in the opposite direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the direction of rotation was indicated by an arrow 9.

ドルより外れて媒体の取り外しを可能とする。 FIG. 1 shows a spindle and media chuck mechanism used in one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the mechanism used in this embodiment is a shaft 5 that is linked to a lever, a cam or similar mechanism 4 attached to the shaft 5, a media chuck mechanism 3 that is rotated by the cam 4, and a bearing. and a spindle 1 supported by 2. In this mechanism, when the lever is rotated and the cam 4 is moved to the position shown by the two-dot chain line, the medium is held between the medium chuck mechanism 3 and the spindle 1, and the medium is allowed to rotate together with the spindle 1. When the cam 4 is returned to its original position (solid line position), the medium chuck mechanism is disengaged from the spindle, allowing removal of the medium.

を回転すべき方向を示す矢印マーク１０を含む。 4 and 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. 4 and 5, this embodiment shows a lever 16 attached to the shaft (FIG. 1) 5 on the front of the front panel 17 of the magnetic disk device.
and a medium insertion port 12 into which a medium (not shown) is inserted.
and a lever 16 on the front panel 17.
It includes an arrow mark 10 indicating the direction in which it should be rotated.

この矢印マーク１０は両回転方向を示す矢印１
１ａ，１１ｂを有しており、レバー１６は一方の
位置で矢印１１ａ又は矢印１１ｂが隠れるように
設けられている。 This arrow mark 10 is an arrow 1 indicating both directions of rotation.
1a and 11b, and the lever 16 is provided so that the arrow 11a or the arrow 11b is hidden in one position.

第４図はレバー１６を開いて、媒体の挿抜がで
きる状態で、矢印マーク１０の矢印１１ａが見
え、時計方向に回転し得るように矢印１１ｂが隠
されている。 In FIG. 4, the lever 16 is opened so that the medium can be inserted and removed, and the arrow 11a of the arrow mark 10 is visible, while the arrow 11b is hidden so that it can be rotated clockwise.

また第５図はレバー１６を閉じて媒体の挿抜が
できない状態で、かつ媒体へのチヤツクが終わ
り、媒体がスピンドルと共に回転できる状態で、
矢印マーク１０の矢印１１ｂが見え、反時計方向
に回転し得るように矢印１１ａが隠されている。 FIG. 5 shows a state in which the lever 16 is closed and the medium cannot be inserted or removed, and a state in which the chuck to the medium is finished and the medium can rotate together with the spindle.
The arrow 11b of the arrow mark 10 is visible, and the arrow 11a is hidden so that it can be rotated counterclockwise.

したがつて、矢印１１ａが見え、矢印１１ｂの
矢が隠れている状態ではレバーは時計方向に回す
ことができ、また、矢印１１ｂが隠れ、矢印１１
ａが見えている状態ではレバーは反時計方向に回
すことができる。 Therefore, when the arrow 11a is visible and the arrow 11b is hidden, the lever can be turned clockwise, and when the arrow 11b is hidden and the arrow 11
When a is visible, the lever can be turned counterclockwise.

（考案の効果）本考案は以上説明したように、レバーの回転す
べき方向の矢印を見せ、反対方向の矢印をレバー
に隠れるように配した矢印マークを装置前面に構
成することにより、レバーの回転方向を明確に
