    Abstract: ACTUATOR MECHANISM FOR DISK STORAGE APPARATUS The invention relates to an actuator mechanism suitable for positioning a recording head over the surface of a recording disk. The actuator consists of a planar coil etched from a copper laminated board. The board is pivoted at one end and carries a recording head supported on an extended arm. Magnets produce a flux perpendicular to the plane of the laminate so that current through the coil produces limited motion of the board about its pivot. The actuator mechanism is located in relation to the disk so that the limited motion of the board moves the head over the disk from one transducing position to another. The mechanism is included in a closed loop servo system which derives position information from servo tracks on the disk and enables track access and track following operations to be conducted.

    Abstract: A record disk cartridge has a single internal shutter for opening and closing a head access port adjacent a spindle access member in one wall. A further aperture allows the shutter to be actuated to an open position as the cartridge is moved into a playing position. The shutter also brakes the disk against movement when the cartridge apertures are closed. A magnetic coupling enables rotation of the disk inside the cartridge.

    Abstract: A disk cartridge containing a flexible record disk has a single internal spring loaded shutter for opening and closing a head access port adjacent a spindle access member in one face of the cartridge. A further aperture allows the shutter to be actuated to an open position as the cartridge is loaded into a playing position on a disk drive. The shutter also holds the disk against movement within the cartridge when it is not in use on the drive.
