Abstract:
Side holders 52, 52 are provided at either side in the width direction interior relative to stationary holder(s). Parallel link mechanism(s) is or are provided for causing side holders 52, 52 to move in the cartridge 40 width direction. When a cartridge 40 which is one of a plurality of types of cartridge other than a cartridge or cartridges of the type or types that is or are smallest in width is inserted therein, pressure from that inserted cartridge 40 causes actuation of parallel link mechanism(s), and respective side holders 52, 52 move outward in coupled fashion to form insertion space in agreement with width direction dimension(s) of cartridge 40.
Abstract:
A cassette loading device including the following configuration: one cassette holder is fitted into the other cassette holder so as to slide in the cassette's direction of movement relative to the other. The other cassette holder is moved in linkage with the cassette pushing operation for magnetic tape cassette inserted into the one cassette holder, with a different amount of stroke from the pushed amount of stroke for the magnetic tape cassette inserted in the one cassette holder. Also, a timing change lever which is rotationally supported at a central portion across the length, is adapted to selectively become engaged at its distal end with the magnetic tape cassette held in the cassette holder. In the terminal end of the movement of the cassette, the opening which is provided at the other end of the timing change lever is detected so that the cassette in-pulling operation starts at the timing of the detection.
Abstract:
An optical head comprises a laser holder retaining a laser diode, and a holder support retaining the laser holder, and irradiates an information storage medium with laser light from the laser diode to perform recording/reproduction of information. In this optical head, the laser holder is a frame structure that fixes the laser diode, having an abutment portion protruding from a base side of the frame structure. Also, the holder support has a receiving surface that supports by abutment the abutment portion, and a through-hole that lets pass the laser light. The receiving surface is a plane approximately perpendicular to an optical axis of the optical head, the abutment portion being made as an arc surface having a central axis that passes through an emission point of the laser diode and is perpendicular to the optical axis.
Abstract:
An apparatus for selectively recording a baseband signal and a MUSE signal on a magnetic tape and for reproducing them at different speeds including: a magnetic head circuit having first and second groups of heads provided separately form each other. Each of the head groups includes four rotary heads for consecutively and helically scanning the tape to record and reproduce the baseband and MUSE signals. The apparatus further includes: an apparatus for providing a mode designating signal for designating an operational mode of the apparatus; a signal processing circuit which can process the baseband and MUSE signals, in response to the mode designating signal, for processing one of the baseband and MUSE signals; a head switching circuit for switching the connection between the signal processing circuit and the respective rotary heads in response to the mode designating signal; and a scanning speed adjusting circuit for adjusting the relative scanning speed of the rotary head and the recording tape in response to the mode designating signal. The apparatus can appropriately switch the scanning speed and the connection between the rotary heads and the signal processing circuit according to the type of signal and operational mode. Thus, the baseband signal is recorded as a two channel signal on the magnetic tape and the MUSE signal is recorded as a one channel signal. Also, the apparatus can reproduce the baseband and MUSE signals recorded according to the above-described track pattern at a different speeds, respectively.
Abstract:
An optical disk device including a tray in which recording mediums having differing outer diameters can be selectively mounted. The tray carries the recording media into the main body of the optical disk device wherein it is, chucked by a turntable. Holding members for holding the recording medium at a predetermined position relative to a mounting face of the tray are provided in a front portion and a rear portion respectively relative to the transport direction of the tray. At least one of the holding members is movable between a first holding position for holding a small diameter recording medium, and a second holding position for holding a large diameter recording medium. The holding member is biased toward the first holding position by a biasing member.
Abstract:
An actuator of the present invention includes a holder 8 for holding a lens 13; an upper guide 3 and a base 9 for supporting the holder 8 so that the holder 8 can move in the optical axis direction of the lens 13; and spherical bodies 2, disposed in spaces between the holder and the upper guide 3 and between the holder 8 and the base 9, which are able to rotate in the spaces, respectively, the upper guide 3 and the base 9 supporting the holder 8 via the spherical bodies 2. This makes it possible to provide a compact and slim actuator excellent in impact resistance.
Abstract:
An optical disc device is provided with a tray for mounting a disc or a cartridge thereon, a chassis that is laid out under the tray, and a top plate that is laid out above the tray. The optical disc device comprises two types of holding mechanisms that form either a single disc mounting space or a cartridge mounting space according to a shape of a single disc or a cartridge to be mounted in the tray, and hold the single disc or the cartridge in the respective mounting space.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an optical disk device includes a tray in which any of recording mediums with differing outer diameters such as a cartridge housing a disk and a bare disk can be selectively mounted, the device being configured such that by transporting the tray into the main body of the optical disk device, the recording medium mounted in the tray is made to be chucked by a turntable. In the optical disk device, holding means that hold the recording medium at a predetermined position of a mounting face of the tray are provided in a front portion and a rear portion respectively in the transport direction of the tray, at least one of the holding means is configured so that a holding member can move to a first holding position where it is possible to hold a small diameter recording medium, and to a second holding position where it is possible to hold a large diameter recording medium, and the holding member is biased to the first holding position by a biasing means.
Abstract:
In a camera module (51), a lid glass (15) protrudes from a sensor cover (14) toward an image pickup lens (1), and a base section (9) includes an overhanging part (9b) overhanging in such a manner as to cover part of the lid glass (15).
