A data storage device (40) for receiving a removable disk cartridge (10) includes a slidable platform (50), a retractable head (18, 19), and a head retractor (70). The slidable platform slides between a forward position where the disk cartridge is ejected and a rearward position where the disk cartridge is held for data accessing. Thus, when the disk cartridge is ejected, the slidable platform slides forward from the rearward position. As the platform travels forward, the head retractor is caused to drive the retractable heads to their safe park position so as to avoid any damage to the heads.
Dispositif de stockage de données (40) destiné à recevoir un chargeur amovible (10), constitué d'une plate-forme coulissante (50), d'une tête rétractible (18, 19), et d'un système de rétraction de la tête (70). La plate-forme coulissante se déplace entre une position avant, où le chargeur est éjecté, et un position arrière, où le chargeur est en position de lecture des données. Ainsi, lorsque le chargeur est éjecté, la plate-forme coulissante se déplace de la position arrière vers la position avant. Lorsque la plate-forme se déplace vers l'avant, le système de rétraction de la tête amène les têtes rétractibles à leur position abritée, ce qui permet d'éviter tout dommage sur les têtes.
