A magnetic tape cartridge having an opening provided on one side wall of a cartridge case, a slide door slidably supported by a guide part disposed along the one side wall, the slide door for achieving a shutting-and-opening operation of the opening. A spring member impels the slide door to the shutting direction side, and is provided with a supported part. A spring supporting part retains the supported part. The spring member is retained by the spring supporting part through the supported part and impels the slide door to the shutting direction side.

Magnetic tape cartridge

A magnetic tape cartridge is provided, in which the mating of the lower half and the upper half can be easily performed and which is applicable to automated assembly, when the magnetic tape cartridge having a sliding door is assembled. The rib projects from the upper section of the first guide wall in the direction of the opposite second guide wall. On the other hand, the groove, which faces the rib, is carved on the inner side surface of the sliding door. The rib engages with the groove, thereby restricting the vertical displacement of the sliding door. Also, the engagement of the rib and the groove guides the sliding door in the guide channel freely.

The present invention aim at providing a magnetic tape cartridge, which can be assembled using an automated products line by enabling the assembling operation of a spring member and a slide door with ease. For attaining these problems, there is provided a magnetic tape cartridge comprising a magnetic tape cartridge comprising; an opening provided on one side wall of a cartridge case, and is used for tape drawing; a slide door slidably supported by a guide part disposed along said one side wall, and said slide door is used for achieving the shutting-and-opening operation of said opening; a spring member for impelling said slide door to the shutting direction side, and is placed on said guide part; and a leading part for leading one end part of said spring member to a spring engaging part provided on said slide door, and is provided at one end part of said spring member.

A cartridge casefor a magnetic tape cartridge comprises a cartridge caseconsisting of a lower halfand an upper half. The lower halfis provided with retaining ribseach having a retaining slanted surfacesuch that a plate-like cartridge memoryis positioned on the retaining slanted surfaceswith its one sidelowered and is obliquely supported with respect to a bottom plateof the lower half. The upper halfis provided with supporting members for supporting various non-resilient constituent parts positioned on the lower halfand including the cartridge memory. The upper halfis provided with a stopper rodsuch that when the upper halfis assembled with the lower half, the stopper rodreaches a cartridge memory-rising region before the supporting members contact with the non-resilient constituent parts on the lower half

Cartridge case with chip retaining features

An ultrasonic-welding apparatus including: a cradle, onto which two work pieces are mounted, and which can rotate around an axis vertical to the welding surface of the work pieces; a welding horn, which carries out welding using ultrasonic energy while sandwiching the two work pieces between it and the cradle; a transmission-type laser sensor which measures the fixed part of the work pieces after welding, rotating on the cradle, in the condition that the welding horn is apart from the work pieces after welding; and an optical sensor including a light-emitting part, a light-receiving part, a connecting part on which the light-emitting and light-receiving parts are mounted, and an adjusting part that rotates the connecting part around two axes.

Ultrasonic-welding apparatus, optical sensor and rotation sensor for the ultrasonic-welding apparatus

The object of the present invention is to provide an inspection apparatus which enables the speed-up and high efficiency of an inspection as well as the flexibility to the modification of an assembly line. The present invention provides an inspection apparatus, which is directly connected to an assembly line and employed for inspections of a work (magnetic tape cartridge) after assembly, including: an arrival platform to which the work after assembly is carried in; an inspection table on which the work is inspected; a departure platform from which the work after inspection is carried out; a robot for moving the work which has completed inspections on the inspection table to the departure platform as well as moving the work carried in to the arrival platform to the inspection table; and a fixture for fixing the work moved to the inspection table while inspecting the work, wherein a plurality of inspections are performed in parallel while the work is fixed on the inspection table.

Method for assembling, magnetic tape cartridge

To provide the ultrasonic-welding apparatus, which can attain the above-mentioned requirement, and which can automatically achieve both measurement of the face-deflection the work piece after welding and the welding of work pieces, such as a reel for a magnetic tape, there is provided an ultrasonic-welding apparatus comprising; a cradle, onto which two work pieces of to be welded and welded to are mounted in piles, and which can rotate around the axis vertical to the welding surface of the work piece of to be welded; a welding hone, which carries out welding using a supersonic in the condition of having sandwiched the two work pieces between the cradle; and a transmission-type laser sensor which measures the fixed part of the work pieces after welding by irradiation of the laser light which runs parallel to the welding surface, and the transmission-type laser sensor measures the fixed part of the work piece after welding, which is rotating on the cradle, in the condition that the welding hone is apart from the work piece after welding.

An ultrasonic-welding apparatus, which can automatically achieve measurement of the face-deflection the work piece after welding and during the welding of work pieces, such as a reel for a magnetic tape. The ultrasonic-welding apparatus includes: a cradle, onto which two types of work pieces to be welded are mounted in piles, and which can rotate around an axis vertical to the welding surface of a workpiece to be welded; a welding horn, which carries out welding using ultrasonic vibration wherein the two work pieces are sandwiched by the cradle; and a transmission-type laser sensor which measures the fixed part of the work pieces, after welding, by the irradiation of laser light which runs parallel to the welding surface, wherein the workpieces are rotating on the cradle and the welding horn is apart from the work pieces.
