Abstract: A disc storage device, which comprises: a box, plural trays installed in the box for receiving discs, plural connecting rods installed in the box, comprising hooks thereon for hooking and releasing the corresponding plural trays respectively, plural spring plates mounting the box and ends of the plural connecting rods respectively, plural driving rods, comprising first ends for driving the plural connecting rods respectively in the box and second ends outside the box, and plural spring levers, installed between the plural trays and the box; wherein, the second ends of the driving rods are pushed to actuate the corresponding connecting rods to release corresponding trays, the corresponding spring levers reject the trays outside of the box. The trays comprises stair shapes at both sides, thereby the upper portion of the trays are positioned between the corresponding rails at both sides and the lower portion of the trays are positioned between the corresponding slots at both sides.

Abstract: An automated storage library structure, a structure of at least one robot operating within the automated storage library, and a method of connecting the robot to test equipment to facilitate testing. The robot is operative to move about the automated storage library on a guide structure. The test equipment is disposed in a diagnostics center associated with the automated storage library. Communication between the robot and the diagnostics center is provided through a main connector, disposed adjacent to the guide structure at a predetermined position and electrically connected to the diagnostics center, and a test connector mounted on the robot's chassis and electrically connected to the robot's electronics. A second robot may be used to support testing of a sick robot.

Abstract: The CD box holder comprises a substantially flat base plate. A shelf is formed at the bottom to vertically support the CD box. At the top a push panel in combination with a locking panel are rotatably mounted. To utilize the Invention, the bottom edge of the CD box is inserted on the shelf and the top is pushed into the holder until it is held securely in place by the locking panel. To remove the CD box, the locking panel is rotated up and the push panel pushes the CD box out from the holder.

Abstract: An apparatus for the storage of disc sound and/or data carriers having a substantially rectangular flat housing that defines a receiving space that is accessible through a slot in one side of the housing. The housing also includes mutually oppositely disposed guide elements which receive a disc inserted through the slot and which keep it spaced from the housing surfaces. An ejection mechanism is mounted in the housing that includes a pivotally mounted lever arrangement. The ejection mechanism urges the disc through the slot such that it extends beyond the housing and may be grasped by a user. A braking and guide strip arrangement is provided in the flat housing adjacent to the slot opening. The strip arrangement extends over the width of the slot opening and includes at least two mutually and oppositely disposed strips. The spacing of the opposing strips is such that the center region of the slot opening has a spacing that is greater than the thickness of the disc.
