ABSTRACT:
There is provided a medium library apparatus including a plurality of cells each of which has an opening and into which a medium is loaded through the opening, each one of the cells having oppositely located first and second walls each having an outward inclination that a spacing between the first and second walls increases towards the opening, a handling device for loading the medium into and taking the medium out of the cell, the handling device including a projection for pushing the medium having been loaded in one of the cells towards a rear surface of the cell located oppositely to the opening to thereby rotate the medium in the cell so as to release the medium from latch means, a leaf spring for pushing the medium from one of the first and second walls towards the other when the medium has been loaded into one of the cells, a latch for latching the medium to the other of the first and second walls when the leaf spring causes the medium to make contact with the other of the first and second walls, and an access device for moving the handling device to a selected one of the cells. The above-mentioned medium library apparatus can load a medium such as a cartridge or a disc into or take the medium out of a selected cell without operating the handling device in complicated movements, but in simple forward and backward movement of the handling device.
