Appl. No.:

5/825524

Inventors:

William M. Owens - La Palma CA

Assignee:

Micro Peripherals, Inc. - Woodland Hills CA

International Classification:

F16H 2702

US Classification:

74 892

Abstract:

A device or mechanism which converts rotary motion into linear motion. The mechanism is well adapted for converting rotary movement of a pulley which is driven by a stepper motor responsive to signals from a computer into linear motion of a magnetic head. The magnetic head is mounted on guides for linear movement with respect to a record. A flexible metal band is wrapped around and attached to the driven pulley, the ends of the band extending tangent to the pulley and parallel to each other, the ends being secured to the block or carriage carrying the magnetic head. Angular movement of the pulley tends to unwrap one end portion of the band and to wrap the other portion thereby moving the block carrying the head linearly.

Inventors:

William M. Owens - La Palma CA

Assignee:

Micro Peripherals, Inc. - Sepulveda CA

International Classification:

G11B 1702
G11B 5012

US Classification:

360 97

Abstract:

A record drive and positioning assembly particularly adapted for disc records used for recording of digital information and for use in association with computers. The unit embodies a record driving spindle or hub and clutch. The record is insertable into the unit through a hinged door. Ejector mechanism is provided in association with a latch, the ejector being operative to eject the record unless it is inserted fully in a latching position. The mechanism provides for "feel" so that the operator will know when the record is fully inserted. During closing of the door, a pin will unlatch the ejector allowing the ejector to move the record sufficiently to cause it to accurately register with the driving hub and clutch. When the door is opened by being lifted, the ejector will eject the record from the unit.
