  • Patent number: 6392981
    Abstract: A disk system capable of sharing portions at which disks are disposed, thereby miniaturizing the entire structure of the system. The disk system includes a plurality of stockers for containing disks in such a manner as to substantially align rotational axial lines of the disks to each other. The disk system also includes a stocker moving mechanism for moving the stockers to specific positions. The disk system also includes a disk driving mechanism for rotating the disks contained in the stockers.

  • Patent number: 4985884
    Abstract: In conventional disk shaped recording reproduction devices, vibrations have been absorbed by the up and down motion of protruding rods which are supported in a viscous liquid such as a silicon oil. According to this invention, an inexpensive elastic body is used, which is heated by a heater so that, by maintaining the temperature of the elastic body within a certain range, the deterioration of the vibration absorbing characteristics of the elastic body with temperature changes is considerably reduced and the elastic body can be made more compact.
