Device for loading or unloading magnetic disc pack

摘要

A device for loading or unloading a magnetic disc pack applicable to a magnetic recorder or reproducer in an electronic camera system wherein a subject is electronically still-photographed and recorded in a rotating magnetic disc, and the reproducing of an image is carried out by a television system or a printer. A lid is openably supported by a main body of the magnetic recorder or reproducer. An inner bucket is pivotally supported on the main body or the lid, having a U-shaped configuration in which the magnetic disc pack incorporating a magnetic disc is received and is capable of being separated from the lid or the main body to form an opening, into which the magnetic disc pack is inserted, when the lid is opened. An engageable hole is formed in the end face of the inner bucket of the device for loading or unloading the magnetic disc pack. The engaging member is located at this engageable hole in a manner to be projectable into the engageable hole or retractable therefrom. When the lid is opened, if the magnetic disc pack is inserted into the inner bucket, then this engaging member projects into the engageable hole to retain the magnetic disc pack in the inner bucket after the inner bucket is received in the lid by the closing operation of the lid, the engaging member is retracted from the engageable hole to release the restraint of the magnetic disc pack.
