Abstract: A laser marker includes a laser irradiation device that irradiates a card with a laser beam; a base unit that supports the card; a drive roller that is provided in the base unit and that is in contact with a lower surface of the card; a rotation member that rotates between a holding position and a withdrawn position, the holding position being a position in which the rotation member holds the card in cooperation with the base unit, the withdrawn position being outside of an optical path of the laser beam; a pinch roller that is provided in the rotation member, that is in contact with an upper surface of the card, and that transports the card in cooperation with the drive roller; and a prism that is fixed to the rotation member and that transmits and refracts the laser beam when the rotation member is in the holding position.

Abstract: A tape drive of the type for withdrawing a magnetic tape together with a leader block connected to the leading end thereof out of a tape cartridge so as to record and reproduce the information onto or off of said magnetic tape. In addition to driving sources for driving a supply reel disposed in the tape cartridge and a take-up reel, a single power source is provided for accomplishing the opening or closing of a door of the housing, the vertical movement of the housing, the displacement of the leader block and the pushing or ejection of the tape cartridge out of the housing.
