LOADING MECHANISM FOR DATA DISK INPUT/OUTPUT IN DATA PROCESSING DEVICES Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: information technology devices. SUBSTANCE: first and second guides with grooves are provided for disk edge. Second guide has transport wheel for data disk loading and unloading. First and second guides are supported for displacement. Their grooves have hold-down surfaces inclined relative to loading plane; inner height of each groove is smaller than thickness of data disk to prevent contact between external edge of data disk and internal surfaces of grooves in the course of loading and to ensure frictional engagement between information disk surface and hold-down surfaces. EFFECT: reduced size and enhanced wear resistance of data disk. 13 cl, 8 dwg
