Abstract: A front panel assembly for being detachably mounted on a front face of a casing body of a vehicle-mounted electronic device, the front face having a recording medium insertion slot, including: a panel frame adapted to be detachably mounted on the front face of the casing body; a lid supported on the panel frame for movement in directions to open and close the slot while the panel frame is mounted on the front face of the casing body; the panel frame having a rear face facing the front face of the casing body while the panel frame is mounted on the front face of the casing body; a slide member mounted on the rear face for reciprocating movement along the rear face; and an interlink mechanism mounted on the panel frame for moving the lid in the directions to open and close the recording medium insertion slot in response to reciprocating movement of the slide member.

Abstract: A housing for an on-vehicle electronic apparatus includes a housing body, and a front panel assembly detachably attached to the front surface of the housing body. A recording medium insertion slit is provided in an upper portion of the front surface of the housing body. When a finger is put on the portion of an upper panel portion and the upper panel portion is pushed downwards, an upper member is moved downwards, and a lower member is swung to the front side about an axis according to the vertical movement of the upper member. When the upper panel portion reaches a lower position and a lower panel portion reaches a slant position, the spacing between an opening and an upper wall of the upper panel portion is enlarged, and the recording medium insertion slit is opened, resulting in the condition where a recording medium can be inserted or removed.

Abstract: In an information transmitter (2) which is a portable personal information device, a system control circuit (26) analyzes information on vibration obtained from an acceleration sensor (22), information on temperature obtained from a temperature sensor (21), or external information such as user's personal information obtained from a communication section (24) and selects a light-emission pattern of LEDs (11 and 12), a vibration pattern of vibrators (30 and 31), and a sound generated by a sound-reproducing section (25).

Abstract: A disc player is provided, in which an arbitrary disc is pulled out from a disc compartment in which a plurality of discs are stacked and then reproduced. An elevator chassis (4) having a disc transport mechanism and a disc chucking mechanism mounted thereon is coupled at three of its four sides to a main chassis (1) provided as a reference plane by an X-letter type supporting member of a pantograph configuration which can be freely contracted and expanded, and an elevating drive mechanism is connected to one place of on the elevator chassis (4). The elevator chassis (4) is elevated in parallel to the main chassis (1) by driving the elevator chassis at only one place. Further, the elevator chassis (4) is locked to the main chassis (1) by a locking mechanism during the playback of the disc.

Abstract: A disc cartridge loading apparatus for a recording/reproducing apparatus for loading a disc cartridge housing an information signal recording medium on a cartridge loading unit in the recording/reproducing apparatus, including a drive unit supporting base plate having a driving unit for a disc loaded on it and supported flexibly on a stationary substrate by an elastic supporting member; a cartridge holder for supporting the disc cartridge inserted into a main body of the recording/reproducing apparatus and movably supported by the drive unit supporting base plate by plural supporting members projected on both sides thereof and a cartridge holder transporting member movably supported by the stationary substrate for movement in a direction of insertion or ejection into or from a main body of the recording/reproducing apparatus; the cartridge holder transporting member having a cam groove and being moved for loading the disc cartridge; the cam groove having an opening at one of its ends and an engagement between

Abstract: A disk magazine remover system includes an ejector lever (7) rotatably supported to a chassis (3), a first elastic member (8) arranged between the chassis (3) and the ejector lever (7) for biasing the ejector lever (7) in a magazine ejecting direction, a limiter (13) rotatably supported to the chassis (3), a second elastic member (14) arranged between the ejector lever (7) and the limiter (13) for biasing the ejector lever (7) in the magazine ejecting direction, and a lock releasing mechanism (20) for releasing the magazine locked by a lock lever (6) and including a motor (21) and a cam gear (27) rotated thereby.

Abstract: This invention is relative with a tape cassette attachment device applied to a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, such as a cassette tape recorder, wherein a cassette holder into which is inserted and held a tape cassette having a closure plate mounted to the bottom surface of the cassette half for movement between the position of closing the reel drive shaft insertion openings formed in the bottom surface of the cassette half rotatably accommodating a pair of tape reels carrying a magnetic tape and the position of opening the reel drive shaft insertion openings is shifted horizontally and vertically for attaching the tape cassette at a predetermined tape cassette attachment position in the main body of the apparatus. The tape cassette enables the shifting operation of the cassette holder to effect tape cassette attachment only when the tape cassette is correctly inserted and held with respect to the cassette holder.
