ABSTRACT:
An improved door slide operating mechanism consisting of a door slide with an operated end having a clevis link, a crank having a lower long journal received in a bored boss formed in the bottom portion of a disk cartridge casing and a short upper journal received in a bored boss formed in an upper casing portion, and a spring wound in tension about the lower journal boss and having a free arm biased against an operating end of the crank.
The mechanism is easily assembled by winding the spring about the boss, inserting a temporary holding pin into an additional boss formed in the bottom casing to provide a stop for the spring arm, engaging a forked end of a crank arm with the door slide clevis, inserting the long lower journal into its corresponding bore, and removing the temporary pin so that the free spring end bears against a stop provided on the crank arm.
