Slidable carriage mount for disc memory apparatus

摘要

A transducer carriage 1 is slidably mounted on and between parallel guide rails 2a, 2b by two spaced pairs of inclined bearing rollers 3a, 4a, 3b, 4b, on one side and a single intermediate pair of such rollers 3c, 4c on the other side. The lower intermediate roller 4c is elastically mounted to the carriage by a rubber shaft ring 9 and exerts a biasing force on its guide rail, to thereby maintain the remaining fixedly mounted rollers in stable contact with their associated rails.
