Magnetic disk drive having a movable drive motor.

摘要

A magnetic disk drive (11) has a drive motor (12) mounted on a yoke (15) which is rotatable about a pivot (16) in the drive. A bezel member (17, Fig. 1) mounted on the end of the yoke (15) normally closes the opening of the disk drive through which a cartridge (14) is inserted. As this bezel member is moved out of the opening, the motor is moved out of the position in which it engages the disk (13) and when the bezel member (17) is closed, the motor moves into the engagement position. The motor can be mounted on the yoke with a movable connection (18) so that it is guided in a linear movement into engagement with the disk.
