DISK CARTRIDGE ANTI-RATTLE MECHANISM

摘要

A cartridge for a magnetic disk drive has a clamping mechanism which is actuated as the door (23) to the cartridge is closed when the cartridge is removed from the drive. The door covers the openings through which the cartridge is accessed by read/write heads. When the cartridge is removed from the drive, the mechanism (26) of the present invention clamps the recording disk against the cartridge shell to prevent rattle, which might otherwise damage the recording disk.
