Abstract:
1. A hand assembly for physically handling media in a data storage library, the hand assembly comprising: a carriage subassembly configured to move along a path between a first position and a second position and in mechanical communication with a gripper subassembly that is configured to be in an open state or a closed state; a ratchet subassembly configured to be triggered by motion of the carriage subassembly from the first position to the second position and not to be triggered by motion of the carriage subassembly from the second position to the first position; and a toggler subassembly in mechanical communication with the ratchet subassembly and the gripper subassembly in such a way that triggering the ratchet subassembly causes the toggler subassembly to toggle the gripper subassembly between the open state and the closed state.
