    摘要: A high-density media storage system. One embodiment of the high-density media storage system may comprises a plurality of storage libraries, each configured to store data cartridges in a horizontal orientation in high-density relation to one another. Such system also comprises a cartridge-handling apparatus having a drive assembly, the drive assembly moving the cartridge-handling apparatus through a displacement path through the plurality of storage libraries. The system further comprises an operational envelope provided at one end of the displacement path in one of the plurality of storage libraries, the operational envelope sized to receive only the drive assembly of the cartridge-handling apparatus when the cartridge-handling apparatus is positioned at the one end of the displacement path.

    摘要: A cartridge picker assembly may comprise a frame having a first side wall and a second side wall positioned in spaced-apart relation. A cartridge guide surface is associated with the second side wall of said frame and is substantially parallel to the second side wall. A spring assembly for biasing a data cartridge inside the cartridge picker assembly includes a flexible member mounted to the first side wall and a roller rotatably mounted on said flexible member. The roller is adapted to rollingly engage a cartridge mounted in the picker assembly.

    摘要: A cartridge picker assembly may include a frame having a first side wall and a second side wall positioned in spaced-apart relation, the first side wall of said frame defining lateral plane. A thumb assembly is slidably mounted to the first and second side walls of the frame so that the thumb assembly is capable of moving toward and away from a cartridge access end of the frame. A guide member mounted to the thumb assembly engages the lateral guide surface on the first side wall of the frame so that lateral motion of the thumb assembly is controlled as the thumb assembly moves toward and away from the cartridge access end of the frame.
