Title:
ディスク反転機構を有するディスクドライブ及びディスクを反転する方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007522605
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A disk drive comprises a turning mechanism ( 3 to 8 ) adapted to provide a pulse to the side of the disk (D) resting on a tray ( 2 ) in a position outside the center so as to provide an upward and rotating movement to the disk in order to turn it over. The turning mechanism may include a pulse member ( 3 ) acting directly on the disk. In an embodiment, the turning mechanism is pneumatic, the pulse member being a nozzle adapted to direct a pressurized gas pulse at the disk. Tests have shown that exerting an eccentric pulse on the disk results in flipping the disk over reliably and quickly.
