Abstract: Apparatus is described for heating compound material applied to can ends, which comprises:
     an electrically nonconductive support structured to support the can ends while being transported in face-to-face relationship along the support;   an alternating current source;   an electrical conductor connected to the alternating current source and disposed in sufficient proximity to the support to produce an alternating magnetic field within the support; and   a transporting device which transports the can ends in face-to-face relationship along the support and through the alternating magnetic field to induce current flow in the can ends to induction heat the can ends and thereby heat the compound material applied to the can ends.

Inventor: DAVIS MARVIN BENJAMIN
IPC: G11B17/043
Filed: 1995-08-17
Abstract: The mechanism for loading and unloading a disk cartridge (13) uses
two sliders (70, 73) (one on each side of a base plate (46)), which move in
opposite directions under the influence of a tiller (76). Each slider (70, 73)
has a slot (262, 281) to receive one of the two lifting pins (136, 139) provided
on the cartridge receiver (82). The movement of the sliders (70, 73) drives
the lifting pins (136, 139) along the slots (262, 281), thereby raising or
lowering the cartridge receiver (82) depending upon the direction of rotation
of the tiller (76). The sliding motion of the lifting pins (136, 139) engaged in
the S-shaped slots (262, 281) thus unloads a disk (14) from or, alternatively,
loads the disk (14) onto the drive spindle (61). As the lifting pins (136, 139)
travel along their respective slots (262, 281), the lifting and lowering of the
disk (14) is accomplished in such a manner that the disk hub (15) is peeled
from the spindle magnet (63) rather than being lifted vertically off the spindle
(61). This reduces the peak force required to break the magnetic clamp force
between the spindle magnet (63) and the disk hub (15). In this system, the
dust door (91) is attached to the cartridge receiver, and the label end of the
loaded cartridge (13) remains visible when the disk (14) is loaded. This
system may include a bias coil assembly (94) rotatably mounted on an arm
(97) so that the bias coil assembly (94) may be loaded into or extracted from
the disk cartridge (14) and placed out of the travel path of the disk cartridge
(14). The rotation of the bias coil arm (97) is effected by one of the sliders
(70, 73).
