ABSTRACT:
A cartridge handling mechanism for use in a disk file system having a stocker in which a multiplicity of thin cartridges respectively having disks accommodated therein are respectively accommodated in a multiplicity of accommodating shelves in parallel to each other, a player for writing and reading data onto and from the disk in each cartridge, and a carrier linearly moved along the front side of the stocker. The carrier has a pair of engagement members selectively engaged with a pair of grooves respectively provided in two side end surfaces at one end of each of the cartridges, so that a selected cartridge is drawn out of the stocker by means of the pair of engagement members, moved to a position facing the front side of the player by the operation of the carrier and then pushed out from the carrier and inserted into the player by the action of the engagement members. The pair of engagement members are formed so as to have bisymmetrical configurations in which their respective distal ends are bent inward at substantially right angles and each of the bent portions has a convex outer surface. Accordingly, a selected cartridge is directly pushed into the player by means of the engagement members and allowed to drop so as to be set in the player without being caught by a surface thereof which is in contact with the engagement members.
