A recording and/or reproducing apparatus for a recording medium including a head for reproducing the information on or from the recording medium, a movement mechanism for moving the recording medium between a first position enabling recording and/or reproducing of information signals by the head and a second position above the first position for performing an exchange operation, a lock mechanism for locking the movement mechanism at the first position, a controller for moving the head between a position proximate to the recording medium and an upper position spaced apart from the recording medium, and, engagement means moved by the controller and engaged by the lock mechanism, the engagement means engaging with the lock mechanism by the controller and moving between an engagement position engaged with the lock mechanism and disengaged from the lock mechanism by a ejecting operation and a lock release position of being released from the position of being disengaged from the lock mechanism as a result of the ejecting operation, wherein, when the head is at the upper position spaced apart from the recording medium, the engagement means is positioned at the position of being engaged with the lock mechanism and releases the lock of the movement mechanism by the lock mechanism at the first position, and wherein, when the head is proximate to the recording medium, the engagement means is caused to move to the lock release position by the controller.
摘要:
A loading device for a recording medium which includes a manually operated ejection member, a lock member inhibiting dismounting of a loaded recording medium, an ejection transmission member mounted for movement between a transmission position to intrude into a movement trajectory of the ejection member and a transmission releasing position to be withdrawn from the movement trajectory, the ejection transmission member being moved by movement of the ejection member for moving the lock member when in the transmission position, a movement mechanism movably attached to the ejection transmission member moves the ejection transmission member between the transmission and transmission release positions, and, biasing means for biasing the ejection transmission member toward the transmission position, wherein, except during recording or reproduction modes, the movement mechanism puts the ejection transmission member at the transmission position if the ejection member is in the lock position when the ejection transmission member is moved, and the movement means abuts the ejection transmission member against the ejection member under the bias of the biasing means if the ejection member is in the eject position when the ejection transmission member is moved, such that if the ejection member is then moved into the lock position, the ejection transmission member is moved by the biasing means into the transmission position, and wherein, during recording or reproduction modes, the movement mechanism puts the ejection transmission member at the transmission release position.
摘要:
A disk cartridge is provided which includes an optical disk (2), a cartridge body (5) having formed therein a head opening (13) through which a part of the optical disk (2) is exposed to outside in a range between the inner and outer radii thereof, a shutter member (15) supported movably on the cartridge body (5) to uncover and cover the head opening (13), and a two-way forcing mechanism (38) to force the shutter member (15) toward any selected one of positions to cover and uncover the head opening (13). The two-way forcing mechanism (38) forces the shutter member (15) toward any selected one of the positions to cover and uncover the head opening (13) correspondingly to a position of the shutter member (15) relative to the head opening (13).

A driving device includes a holder (16) movably carried by a chassis (5) and adapted for transporting a disc cartridge the holder holds between an insertion/ejection position and a loading position, and an ejection lever (39) for ejecting the disc cartridge from the holder (16). The driving device also includes a slider (31) movable in a direction of inserting the disc cartridge into the holder (16) and in a direction of ejecting the disc cartridge from the holder. The slider causes the holder (16) to be moved to the loading position when the slider is moved in the disc cartridge inserting direction, while causing the holder (16) to be moved to the insertion/ejection position when the slider is moved in the disc cartridge ejecting direction. The driving device also includes a spring member (45) provided between the ejection lever (39) and the slider (31) for biasing the ejection lever (39) in a direction of ejecting the disc cartridge from the holder (16) and for biasing the slider (31) in the disc cartridge inserting direction.

摘要:
Disclosed is a disc cartridge in which is housed an optical disc (2). The disc cartridge includes a main cartridge body unit (5), rotatably housing an optical disc, and having an aperture for a head part (13) for exposing a part of the optical disc to outside across the inner and outer rims of the optical disc, and a shutter unit (15) mounted for movement to this main cartridge body unit for opening/closing the aperture for the head part (13). A recess (31) into which is introduced a portion of a head part of the recording and/or reproducing apparatus is formed in continuation to the aperture for the head part in a surface of the main cartridge body unit on which slides a shutter unit in an area opposite to the area of movement of the shutter unit with the aperture for the head part in-between.
摘要:
A recording medium enabling type determination and writing possibility determination for various types of disks. Opening and closing means for opening and closing a detection hole of a cartridge forms a plane substantially horizontal level with a reference plane of the cartridge at a position of the detection hole when the detection hole is in a closed state. The cartridge has at least a first detection hole and a second detection hole formed therein. The second detection hole (H1) is opened and closed by the opening and closing means, and the first detection hole (H0) is in an open state at all times. A disk drive apparatus or a disk determining method determines, together with a disk type, determining information contents (for example writing possibility) based on one or a plurality of detection holes formed in the cartridge, on the basis of an open/closed state of the detection hole and a result of the disk type using a signal based on reflected light from the loaded recording medium.

摘要:
A disc driving apparatus comprising an optical head as a record/reproduce means for recording information on and/or reproduce the same optically from a disc type recording medium;a feed motor as a feed means for moving the optical head toward the innermost or outermost region of the disc; a limit switch as a detector means for detecting that the optical head is placed at a first position proximate to the innermost region of the disc; and a butt member as a positioning means formed to butt against the optical head for limiting the motion of the optical head at a second position in the innermost region of the disc. The speed of the optical head being moved toward the innermost region of the disc by means of the feed motor is changed to a lower speed in synchronism with turn-on of the limit switch, and then the optical head is brought to a halt at the predetermined position limited by the butt member, whereby the optical head is placed exactly at the desired position.
