An information recording and reproducing apparatus includes a card carriage. The card carriage is provided in the opposite sides thereof with card holding plates, respectively. The card holding plates have each a groove into which a corresponding lateral edge of an optical card is inserted. At least one of the card holding plates is supported in a cantilever fashion on a card carriage through a flexible portion thereof. The upper surface of the card carriage has an upper ridge formed at a portion close to one lateral edge of the optical card. The upper surface of the card carriage oppositely faces the rear face of the optical card. The inner edge portion of the one card holding plate is provided at a position away from the outer ridge at a predetermined distance with an inner ridge.

Information recording and reproducing apparatus

An apparatus for recording informations in an information recording medium such as an optical card or the like and reproducing the recorded informations therefrom includes as essential components a housing, an instrument section arranged in the housing for recording/reproducing informations, a supply source duct arranged in the housing while having a supply source circuit board received therein, an air intake port formed on one side wall of the supply source duct, an air outlet port formed on another side wall of the supply source duct, an air flow passage formed between the one side wall of the supply source duct and the supply source circuit board so as to allow the air intake port to be communicated with the air outlet port, and a cooling fan disposed in the air outlet port. The supply source duct is arranged adjacent to the instrument section. It is preferable that the air intake port is formed on a bottom wall of the supply source duct and the air inlet port is formed on a rear side wall of the supply source duct.

Cooling system for recording/reproducing apparatus, with airflow

A card carrier in use with an optical data record/reproduction system for reading data from and writing data to a card, including a press contact slide member (26, 27) which prevents a table for carrying the card from being tilted and deviated from a predetermined traveling direction, and a table drive member which prevents the transfer of a vibration to the table. With this arrangement, data is exactly written into and read out from the card.
