Japanese Patent JPS63113862
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a system and apparatus for loading data storage disks (e.g. rigid optical disks) onto a spindle assembly for rotation relative to a write/read head. The system is characterized by a disk carrier which is adapted to releasably capture a disk, and apparatus for releasing and separating the disk from the carrier so that the disk can be rotated in a plane spaced from the carrier plane. Such apparatus comprises carrier support means (72, 74) for supporting a disk-capturing carrier in a predetermined plane, disk release means (40), cooperatable with disk latching members of the carrier, for releasing a disk from the carrier, disk support means (90) for supporting a released disk in the plane of the carrier, and means (81, 100) for imparting relative movement between the carrier support means and the disk support means to locate the disk in a desired plane of rotation, and to locate the carrier in a plane spaced therefrom.
