A puncture device is constituted such that a plunger () is provided with a lever () which is partially restricted in rotation, and a forward urging force is obtained by a contraction restorative force of a tension spring (), and the tension spring () is again expanded with the lever () as a leverage when the plunger () further moves forward due to its inertia from a position where no urging force is not applied, and the plunger () is urged backward by a restorative force of the re-expansion. Further, a puncture needle cartridge is provided with a lancet body () having a puncture needle, and a puncture needle holder () in which the lancet body () is movably stored, and further, the lancet body () has an arm means () and the puncture needle holder () contains a to-be-latched means () that cooperates with the arm means (). Thereby, the fabrication process is simplified, and plural times of punctures of the puncture needle is prevented, and further, the puncture speed is controlled, and moreover, the used puncture needle is discarded safely.

Information recording/reproducing device

The present invention provides a magnetic tape cartridge driver for opening a tape protecting door of a tape cartridge, enabling contact between a magnetic head of the magnetic tape cartridge driver and a magnetic tape housed within the tape cartridge, which can accept not only a conventional tape cartridge but also an enlarged tape cartridge containing a larger capacity, by providing a slider mounted in the cartridge tape driver for engaging with a guide groove formed on a side of an inserted tape cartridge, thereby sliding the tape cartridge along the guide rails to the specified position, where the slider tip comes into contact with an edge of the tape protecting door before the engagement of the guide rails with the guide grooves.
