JPH05307876A - Diskette housing device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To lessen the operator's labor to move a diskette from a diskette housing box to an FDD. CONSTITUTION:The diskette housing device 2 is provided on the periphery of a CRT display 4 in a computer 5. The diskette housing device 2 is so constituted as to contain the plural diskettes 1. The diskette housing device 2 is so constituted that one end of the diskette 1 housed in the diskette housing device 2 projects from the surface 5 of the computer. The operator can easily takes the diskette 1 existing near the visual field of the CRT display 4 out of the diskette housing device while viewing the CRT display 4 and can easily replace the diskette 1 into the FDD 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a diskette storage device used for a personal computer or the like which requires a floppy disk drive device as a storage device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, personal computers include high-end machines for business use and popular machines for home use. High-end machines incorporate multiple floppy disk drive devices (FDD) as storage devices, and one of the FDDs converts Kana to Kana,
A system diskette such as a simple language and a personal document file diskette were inserted in the other FDD to run both FDDs in parallel.

Since the cost reduction is the maximum goal in the popularized machines, only one FDD is used, and the system diskette and the personal document file are exchanged and exchanged into one FDD, and once stored in the register in the computer. , I was creating a document similar to the function of a high-end model.

[0004]

However, the computer of the conventional popular machine does not have a space for storing the floppy diskette, so a diskette storage box is prepared around the computer, and the floppy diskette is taken out from the computer and inserted into the FDD. Therefore, the labor of the operator who moves the diskette from the diskette storage box to the FDD is very large, which is a problem.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a diskette storage device around a CRT display in a computer so that a plurality of diskettes can be stored in the diskette storage device. The diskette stored in the diskette storage device is
The diskette storage device is configured such that one end of the computer is exposed.

[0006]

According to the present invention, with the above configuration, an operator can easily take out a diskette near the field of view of the CRT display while looking at the CRT display and easily replace the diskette with the FDD.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A diskette storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a computer including a diskette storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA 'of the same embodiment.

1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a floppy disk diskette, 2 is a diskette storage device for storing a plurality of diskettes 1, and the diskette storage device 2 is a floppy disk drive device (FD).
D) 3 is provided between the CRT display 4 and a storage space in which one end of the diskette 1 protrudes from the surface 5 of the computer so that the diskette 1 can be picked up by a finger.

When using the diskette storage device 2, the operator first operates the keyboard (not shown) while looking at the CRT display 4. CRT display 4
When the display for replacing the diskette 1 appears on the screen, the operator
Remove the diskette from the DD3, take the diskette 1 from the diskette storage device 2, insert it into the FDD3, and operate the keyboard again. CR in this way
When the T-display 4 indicates that the diskette should be replaced, the diskette may be removed from the diskette storage device 2 and replaced with the diskette contained in the FDD 3.

In the diskette storage device 2, it is preferable that the diskette inlet / outlet is higher than the horizontal plane so that the stored diskette 1 does not drop on the floor due to vibration or the like. Further, when a plurality of diskettes 1 are stored in the diskette storage device 2, if the inner part of the diskette storage device is stepped as shown in FIG. 3, the diskettes 1 can be more easily picked out.

[0011]

As is apparent from the above embodiment, the present invention provides a diskette storage device around a CRT display in a computer so that a plurality of diskettes can be stored in the diskette storage device and is stored in the diskette storage device. The diskette storage device was constructed so that one end of the diskette came out from the computer surface, so that the operator could see the CRT display while watching the CRT.
The diskette near the visual point of the display can be easily taken out, the diskette can be easily replaced with the FDD, and the working efficiency can be greatly improved.
