Abstract
There is disclosed an information storage apparatus in which movement of a carriage is smooth, and precision of a recording reproduction position is high. Both a gravity center G of a carriage 120, and an application point H at which a slider 126 receives a force exist inside a triangle T whose respective vertexes are formed by a first support member 122 and second support members 123, 124.
Claims3
An information storage apparatus for performing at least information reproduction via a carriage moving along a predetermined information storage medium with respect to the information storage medium, said information storage apparatus comprising:
- a rail extending along said information storage medium,
- wherein said carriage comprises three or more support members for supporting the carriage with respect to said rail, and a slider for contacting or approaching the surface of said information storage medium, and both a gravity center of the carriage and an application point of a force received by said slider by contacting or approaching the surface of said information storage medium exist inside a polygon whose respective vertexes are formed by said support members as seen from the information storage medium.
A carriage comprising:
- a slider for contacting or approaching a predetermined information storage medium surface;
- and
- three or more support members for supporting the carriage,
- wherein both an application point of a force received by said slider by contacting or approaching the information storage medium surface, and a gravity center of the carriage exist inside a polygon whose respective vertexes are formed by said support members as seen from the information storage medium.
