ABSTRACT:
A cartridge loader with a removable magazine that has slots for data storage cartridges. The loader has a tilting bin-like receiver in an opening in its front panel for receiving the magazine. The magazine includes a push-push mechanism associated with each of its cartridge storage cells. The magazine has a handle and a surface, preferably a thumb rail near the front, offset from the handle and placed in an area proximal to a usual resting position of a digit of a user, allowing the user to alter the magazine's attitude. The magazine includes a guide channel that interacts with a rib on the receiver to guide the magazine in the receiver. The magazine may have a center of gravity aligned with the handle, to cause the magazine to hang at a tilted attitude corresponding to the tilt angle of the receiver.
