Abstract
A robot hand that does not depend on cartridge types wherein high reliability can be ensured and the size and cost can be reduced with a simple construction. In a library apparatus including a recording and reproducing device for cartridge type media and cartridge accommodating racks, a robot hand is configured to include a hand mechanism including hooks for holding the cartridge and actuators for performing to and fro movement and opening and closing movement of the hooks, and a mounter for pushing the cartridge when the cartridge is inserted into the recording and reproducing device by the hand mechanism, wherein the to and fro movement and the opening and closing movement of the robot hand and the pushing movement of the mounter is performed by one motor. The cartridge is grasped/released efficiently by the movement of the hooks, the actuators and the mounter.
