<p>A disk storage and retrieval apparatus includes a carriage assembly (10) for transporting a sleeve assembly (28) between multiple locations, in which drive motors are spring mounted so as to be self tensioning, the carriage is movably mounted to a worm screw (16) by a two-way flexure (24) which allows for planar movement of the carriage relative to the worm screw yet allows only minimal rotation of the carriage relative to the worm screw, and the sleeve assembly is pivotally mounted to the carriage near the open end of the sleeve. First and second flex plates extend in a first direction perpendicular to a main plate from a first pair of opposing edges of the main plate, respectively.</p> |
