Cartridge transporting apparatus

摘要

In a cartridge transporting apparatus, a driving roller is provided in the vicinity of a cartridge inlet. The driving roller serves to transport the cartridge into a cartridge holder. A shutter opening/closing means is engaged with a shutter covering an opening of said cartridge. The shutter opening/closing means serves to open or close said shutter as said cartridge is moved. The driving roller is located at a position where it is not brought in contact with the shutter when said shutter is engaged with said shutter opening/closing means. In such a configuration, the cartridge can be transported reliably and accurately. The opening or closing of the shutter can be made surely. <IMAGE>
