<p>A data cartridge interlock release actuator system for disabling a data cartridge lock (724) within a data cartridge caddy (300) to enable an autochanger to remove a data cartridge (200) from the data cartridge caddy (300). The interlock release actuator is a cam shaft (908) within the autochanger storage rack. The cam shaft (908) has lobes (616) and a lever (904) attached to it. When the autochanger needs to remove a data cartridge (200) from the caddy (300), the picker of the autochanger or a motor or a solenoid rotates the lever (904), which rotates the cam shaft (908), which rotates the lobes (616). When the lobes (616) rotate, they depress a button (328) on top of a data cartridge caddy (300). When the button (328) is depressed, a spring lock (724) that locks the data cartridges (200) within the caddy (300) is disabled and the data cartridges (200) may be removed from the caddy (300). <IMAGE></p> |
