Description

The present invention relates to a mechanism for installing a cartridge case in an apparatus using a cartridge type magnetic tape.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the cartridge case storage mechanism has been a mechanism in which the pin and the V-shaped guide of the case holder are directly aligned visually when the cartridge case is inserted into the apparatus.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The above-mentioned conventional cartridge case installation mechanism has a drawback that positioning is difficult because there is no guide, and there is a risk that the positioning pin and the V-shaped guide make a shocking contact with each other and that they are easily worn.

[Means for solving problems]

The cartridge case installation mechanism of the present invention is a cartridge case installation mechanism for installing a cartridge case accommodating a plurality of cartridges in a cartridge magnetic tape device, and a positioning pin attached to the magnetic tape device and the magnetic tape device. A case guide that is rotatably attached and into which the cartridge case is inserted, and a V-shaped guide that engages with the positioning pin when the case guide attached to the lower surface of the case guide is in a predetermined position within a rotation range. And the cartridge case inserted in the case guide in a state in which the positioning pin and the V-shaped guide are engaged with each other.

〔Example〕

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

 FIG. 1 is an external view of an embodiment of the present invention.

The case holder 2 fixed to the apparatus 1 has a positioning pin 3 on an end surface thereof, and a cartridge case 6 that houses a plurality of cartridges 4 with V-shaped guides 5 engaging with the positioning pin 3 surrounds the cartridge case 6. The case guide 8 is inserted into the supporting case guide 8, the case guide 8 rotates around the hinge part 7 of the case guide 8 and the engaging part of the case holder 2 fixing means 9, and is installed in the device 1.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the cartridge storing mechanism showing the positional relationship between the case guide 8 and the case holder 2 immediately after the cartridge case 6 is inserted in the case guide 8.

The case guide is inclined and exposed toward the outer surface of the device, and the cartridge case 6 can be inserted into the case guide 8 from the outer surface of the device. Case guide 8
When the cartridge case 6 and the case guide 8 are installed in the device 1 after the cartridge case 6 is inserted into the device 1, the case guide 8 is pushed when the cartridge case 6 is pushed in the direction of the arrow.
Rotates around the hinge 7, and V of the cartridge case 6
The character guide 5 and the positioning pin 3 of the case holder 2 are the first
As shown in the figure, the case guide 8 is fixed to the case holder 2 and the device 1 by engaging.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the cartridge case accommodating mechanism including the case guide and the case holder is provided, so that the cartridge case accommodating the cartridge can be easily installed in the apparatus. Therefore, there is an effect that the impact applied when the cartridge case is inserted into the apparatus can be reduced.
