摘要： A picker for data cartridges in a computer information storage library. The picker includes a sleeve for transporting data cartridges, a thumb that can move in one dimension relative to the sleeve, and a single pivoting finger on the thumb. The single finger has an inboard pivot point which results in a self locking action (pulling makes the finger grip tighter). The finger has an armed state for gripping and a splayed state for release. Switching between states is passive, depending only on one dimensional motion of the thumb relative to the sleeve. The finger has a post that travels in tracks in the sleeve. Switching tracks switches finger states. A spring loaded gate in the tracks enables track switching. Potential cartridge wear and binding problems during extraction are eliminated by providing sleeve guides that limit cartridge rotation, by providing a concave guide surface in storage locations, and by proper selection of materials. A corresponding drive has a handle that must be manipulated. The picker includes thumb details for manipulating the drive handle.

摘要： A mail slot data cartridge exchange system for a data storage system may comprise a drawer mounted to the data storage system so that the drawer can be moved between a retracted position and an extended position. A cartridge magazine for holding at least one data cartridge is sized to be removably received by the drawer so that at least a portion of the cartridge magazine is exposed when the drawer is in the extended position. A drawer stop index member is operatively associated with the drawer so that the movement of the drawer stop index member corresponds to movement of the drawer. A lock apparatus mounted to the data storage system is switchable between a locked state and an unlocked state. The lock apparatus engages the drawer stop index member when the lock apparatus is in the locked state and when the drawer is in a regulated extended position.

Each of the plurality of cartridge storage locations is adapted to receive a cartridge having an access end such that the access ends of cartridges, when positioned in the plurality of cartridge storage locations, are aligned along a cartridge access plane. An elongate lateral guide rail is mounted in parallel, spaced-apart relation to the cartridge storage axis and is positioned at about the cartridge access plane. A cartridge engaging assembly adapted to releasably engage the cartridges is slidably mounted to the elongate lateral guide rail, which guides the cartridge engaging assembly along a displacement path that is substantially parallel to the cartridge storage axis. An actuator connected to the cartridge engaging assembly positions the cartridge engaging assembly at predetermined points along the cartridge location axis.
