AUTOMATIC PROCESSOR FOR INFORMATION DISK

PURPOSE:To make a structure simple and light-weight and to stably and surely carry a cartridge by moving a carrier only in a transverse direction and interposing and carrying the cartridge from a stacker to a deck by a carrying roll mechanism. CONSTITUTION:An elevating device is operated by the instruction of a controller so that a designated cartridge 2 is set to the same height as the insertion/ ejection hole of a deck 42; and when the cartridge 2 reaches this position, it is pushed out to a carrying roll mechanism 10a in a carrier 10 held in front of a stacker 3 by a pushing-out means and is interposed between upper and lower holding rolls 13 rotated by roll driving means. Simultaneously, the carrier 10 is moved to the front limit position near the deck 42 by a driving device 20, and the held and carried cartridge 2 is quickly loaded into the insertion/ ejection hole of the deck 42, and the disk stored in the cartridge 2 is read in the deck 42. Thus, the cartridge 2 is smoothly and stably inserted/ejected and carried.
