Patent number: 5327309Abstract: A disk drive apparatus includes a shutter operating pin engageable with a pin receptacle on the shutter of a disk cartridge. The shutter operating pin is carried by a shutter operating arm which is pivotable for causing a transverse shift of the shutter operating pin for shifting the shutter from a closed position, at which a disk is inaccessible, to an open position, at which the disk is accessible. An arm lock mechanism is provided for locking the shutter operating arm at the shutter fully opened position. The arm lock mechanism is provided in the cartridge holder. The cartridge holder is also provided with a cartridge lock mechanism which includes a cartridge lock pin engageable with a lock pin receptacle on the disk cartridge. The cartridge lock mechanism is actuated by means of the shutter operating arm at the shutter fully opened position, to establish locking engagement of the cartridge lock pin with the lock pin receptacle of the disk cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1990Date of Patent: July 5, 1994Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Tooru Takamiya, Hiroshi Miyoshi, Osamu Ito, Kiyoshi Ohmori

Patent number: 5239528Abstract: A control circuit for controlling the position of a head in an optical tape recording/reproducing device having a rotary optical head controls the position of the head at the instant that it faces the tape based upon a desired head position derived from a preceding period in which it was facing the tape. A head position error signal is sampled and added to a sample head position signal during a period when the head is facing the tape and is held during the time the head is not facing the tape. The instant the head begins to face the tape once again, this desired value that has been held is applied to the head in order to reduce the pull-in time of the control circuit and provide more time for information recording/reproduction during the time the rotary optical head is facing the tape.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1990Date of Patent: August 24, 1993Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Tatsuya Narahara, Yoshiteru Kamatani, Kiyoshi Ohsato, Hiroshi Miyoshi
