Publication number: 20060212886Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, an apparatus for transferring storage cartridges within an automated storage library is provided. The apparatus includes a sled and a track for supporting and guiding the sled. The track includes a corner portion wherein the sled moves through the corner portion without changing the orientation of the sled relative to the track and storage library system. The corner portion may include a 90 degree turn. The sled may further include a gripper mechanism for handling storage cartridges. The gripper mechanism may rotate relative to the sled to access various storage device interface positions adjacent the track. In another example, the apparatus may further include a motor located remotely from the track and coupled to the sled via a cable pulley system, which drives the sled through the corner portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2005Publication date: September 21, 2006Applicant: Quantum CorporationInventor: Ryan Porter

Publication number: 20060181805Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, an apparatus for handling storage cartridges within an automated storage library is provided. In one example, the apparatus includes a frame, a translating member, e.g., a leadnut/leadscrew, and a finger mechanism slidably mounted to the frame. The translating member is operable to translate along the frame. The finger mechanism includes a finger member for engaging a storage device, and the finger mechanism is mechanically associated with the translating member such that translation of the translation member relative to the picker frame results in a translation of the finger mechanism relative to the translation member such that the finger mechanism moves a greater distance than the translation member. A gear assembly, mounted to the translation member, may rotate during translation to cause relative movement of the translation member and finger mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2005Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: Quantum CorporationInventors: Paddy Collins, Ryan Porter
