Claims

[Scope of utility model registration request]

A cartridge for storing information is provided with a recording and reproducing mechanism section for recording and reproducing information, and also includes a cartridge entry tube into which a cartridge taken out from a cartridge storage section is temporarily inserted, and a plurality of holding means for holding the cartridge. having a rotating conveyor, vertically rotating the cartridge entry tube into which the cartridge is inserted, receiving the holding means positioned at the preload station, and further rotating the holding means to the position of the loading station. A cartridge thread mechanism is provided to transport the cartridge to the recording and reproducing mechanism section, and then rotate the cartridge after recording and reproducing to the position of the drain station and eject it, so that information on the cartridge is loaded and recorded and reproduced on a cartridge by cartridge basis. In a mass storage device configured to perform a retry after returning the cartridge to a preloading station if the cartridge is not inserted into the recording and reproducing mechanism at the loading station. a holding mechanism for inserting the next cartridge into the cartridge entry tube while the previous cartridge is being processed in the section and holding the cartridge entry tube into which the next cartridge has been inserted in the cartridge-inserted state; Make money,
By releasing the holding function of the holding mechanism of the cartridge being held when the processing for the previous cartridge is completed, the next cartridge is moved to the preload station by vertical rotation of the cartridge entry tube. 1. A large-capacity storage device, wherein the storage device is stored in a cartridge slot, and is then inserted into a cartridge slot of the recording and reproducing mechanism section based on a cartridge thread mechanism.
