US Patent:
56072759, Mar 4, 1997
Filed:
Nov 10, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/337621
Inventors:
Daniel J. Woodruff - Lyons CO
Daniel W. Hoekstra - Louisville CO
Christopher L. Scott - Englewood CO
Thomas W. Volckhausen - Boulder CO
Thomas J. Studebaker - Boulder CO
Bruce L. Younglove - Boulder CO
Assignee:
Exabyte Corporation - Boulder CO
International Classification:
G11B 1568
US Classification:
414331
Abstract:
An automated library (30) handles a plurality of data storage units (e. g. , data cartridges) stored therein. The library comprises an octagonal drum-like member (34) mounted above a library frame (32). The drum (34) has a plurality of faces on an exterior periphery thereof, each for selectively accommodating a cartridge rack (62). Each face of the drum has a rack mount (110) selectively attachable thereto. The library further comprises a rack (38) for accommodating a plurality of modular I/O drive-containing drawers (64). A picker device (80) engages and transports data cartridges between drives (320), an active rack (60), and an entry/exit port transport (500). The entry/exit transport device (500) transports a selected cartridge between a predetermined position in the cabinet and the entry/exit port (100). The entry/exit transport device (500) is both rotatable and extensible. A picker move method and library inventory method are also provided.

US Patent:
54981166, Mar 12, 1996
Filed:
Aug 26, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/112259
Inventors:
Daniel J. Woodruff - Lyons CO
Daniel W. Hoekstra - Louisville CO
Christopher L. Scott - Englewood CO
Thomas W. Volckhausen - Boulder CO
Thomas J. Studebaker - Boulder CO
Bruce L. Younglove - Boulder CO
Assignee:
Exabyte Corporation - Boulder CO
International Classification:
G11B 1568
US Classification:
414331
Abstract:
An automated library (30) for handling a plurality of data storage units comprises a frame (32), an I/O drive (320); a unit engagement device (80) which transports data storage units between the drive and the storage receptacle. A cabinet substantially encloses the frame and has an entry/exit port (100) formed therein. The library is further provided with an entry/exit transport device (500) which pivots 90 degrees about an axis perpendicular to a unit orientation plane to transport a selected data storage unit between the entry/exit port and a predetermined position in the cabinet. The entry/exit transport device has a cartridge engagement portion with two edges (574, 576), a first of the edges being configured to load/unload the selected data storage unit at the entry/exit port and a second of the edges being configured to load/unload the selected data storage cartridge at the predetermined position. The first and second edges are orthogonal to one another in the entry/exit transport plane.
