Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for joining and separating a storage medium, storing inputted data by being mounted on a computer or a digital video recorder and being simply separated from a housing of the storage medium capable of reproducing the stored data with a switching operation of a door, and comprises, a storage medium tray mounting a data storage medium thereon; a housing for receiving and guiding the storage medium tray; and a door for joining and separating the storage medium tray from the housing.

Claims

1. A device for joining and separating a storage medium, comprising:

a storage medium tray for mounting a data storage medium thereon;

a suspension unit formed at a front face of the storage medium tray;

a housing for receiving and guiding the storage medium tray;

a door for taking out the data storage medium tray from the housing, the door including a hinge on one section and an inserting section for inserting the storage medium tray by pushing the storage medium tray in connecting with the hinge; and

a suspension end formed at a side of the hinge, the suspension end being engaged with the suspension unit to take out the storage medium tray from the housing.

2. The device for joining and separating the storage medium of claim 1, wherein the housing has a door-locking unit being locked and unlocked by pressing.

3. A device for joining and separating a storage medium, comprising:

a storage medium tray mounting a data storage medium thereon;

a suspension unit formed at a front face of the storage medium tray;

a housing for receiving and guiding the storage medium tray;

a door for preventing the storage medium tray from being separated at a front side or the housing; and

a taking-out unit located between the door and the housing, for taking out the storage medium tray, the taking-out unit including;

a pin hole pierced to a lower part from an upper part;

a door-opening restriction unit for restricting an opening angle of the door;

an elastic unit inserted to the inserting part, giving elasticity to the opened door; and

a taking-out section formed at a side of the taking-out unit, the taking-out section being engaged with the suspension unit to take out the storage medium tray from the housing.

4. The device for joining and separating the storage medium of claim 3, wherein the elastic unit includes a spring.

5. The device for joining and separating the storage medium of claim 3, wherein the housing has a door-opening prevention unit for preventing the door from being opened while operating the storage medium.
