    摘要: An automated library is disclosed for storing and retrieving data storage cartridges having a plurality of rotatable stacks, all rotatable about parallel axes, each stack being multi-faced and preferably rectangular. A column of cells for storing data cartridges is provided in each of at least two of the faces of the rectangular stacks, and the columns of cells are aligned parallel to the axis of the associated stack. At least one read/write drive is provided for reading and/or writing the data storage cartridges, and preferably a read/write drive is provided at the base of each rotatable stack. A picker is rotatable about an axis parallel to the axes of the rotatable stacks, for accessing the data storage cartridges stored in the cells, and for transporting the cartridges between the cells and a read/write drive. Servo systems rotate the rotatable stacks and the rotatable picker into mutually facing positions for accessing the cells of columns of the stacks with the rotatable picker.

    摘要: A magnetic tape cartridge changer for playing a plurality of stacked tape cartridges in sequence. The changer is provided with a shaft for the storage of the stacked cartridges and has a lateral outlet aperture for automatic removal of the lowest stacked cartridge which is in the playing position. The removed cartridge is passed into a channel which ultimately feeds the cartridge back to a ready to play storage position in the shaft.

    摘要: A plurality of tape cassettes fed in succession from a conveyor are oriented vertically on an end stretch of the conveyor itself terminating at a position in side by side relation with a tiltable collection element. The cassettes are pushed laterally from the end stretch of the feed conveyor for being loaded onto the collection element until they form thereon a row comprised of a given number of cassettes. The collection element is then tilted to let the cassette row fall onto a tray previously positioned under the collection element.

    摘要: A gripper for grasping articles in an automatic or semi-automatic handling system includes spring-loaded jaws. No fasteners such as screws, pins, or the like are required to hold the jaws to the gripper assembly. The jaws are moved by way of motor-driven cams. During a grip mode, the cams do not contact the jaws, and the grip is achieved by way of the springs acting against rollers contacting the outside of the jaws. A worm on the motor shaft compresses a spring to buffer the deceleration of the motor. The spring applies a moment to worm gears which mate with the worm on the motor shaft. The gear shaft of each worm gear is operatively coupled to a respective camshaft. In this manner, the cams are locked.

    摘要: This apparatus is used for automatically bringing a number of magnetic tape cassettes stacked in a loading magazine to a recording and/or playing back station and therefrom to a collecting magazine in such a manner that the lowermost cassette contained in the loading magazine is pushed in a movable container which is between said two magazines and after carried by said container from the plane of the magazines to the recording station. Successively the movable container carries the recorded cassette from the recording station to the plane of the magazines and a transfer mechanism pushes the recorded cassette into the collecting mechanism; simultaneously, the transfer mechanism brings the new lowermost cassette of the loading magazine to the movable container.

    摘要: A hiring and vending slot-machine, in particular for video cassettes, has a cupboard-like housing, two superimposed storage compartments arranged within the housing for the boxes containing the video cassettes, a computer-controlled cassette transporting device that can move vertically and horizontally between both compartments, receive and transport the cassette boxes to and from a determined storage container or input/output shaft in the housing. Reading means read the cassette identification codes and an operating field is provided outside the housing for selecting the desired cassette, requesting or delivering cassette: The operating field has an input keyboard and a display. A cassette transporting carriage (46) can move horizontally or vertically along horizontal or vertical guide-ways in the housing (10) and be shifted into the vertical or horizontal direction within the horizontal or vertical guide-ways. Its driving mechanism can be simultaneously actuated in the horizontal and in the vertical direction, and pull-push means (153) are arranged on the cassette transporting carriage (46) for transporting the cassette box (44) from a storage compartment or an input/output shaft into the cassette-receiving room of the cassette transporting carriage (46) and vice-versa.
