ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus such as a computer of the class for office and home use is disclosed which employs a magnetic disk cartridge as an information storage medium, together with a disk drive assembly for information transfer with the disk cartridge. The apparatus has a housing having defined therein a disk drive compartment, in which there is accommodated the disk drive assembly inclusive of its own enclosure having an entrance slot for the insertion of the disk cartridge. Upon full insertion of the disk drive assembly into the disk drive compartment, the disk drive assembly is locked into position by a locking lever which, under the influence of a cantilever spring, engages a first opening in the disk drive assembly. The disk drive assembly may later be disengaged from the disk drive compartment by inserting a tripping tool through the entrance slot and a second opening in the disk drive assembly and exerting a force against the locking levers opposite to the force of the cantilever spring to disengage the locking lever from the disk drive assembly, thus permitting ready withdrawal of the disk drive assembly from the disk drive compartment of the information processing apparatus as for maintenance purposes.
