Abstract
Abstract A magnetic bubble memory device comprising a cassette holder provided in a main bubble memory apparatus and a magnetic bubble memory cassette which is inserted into the holder so as to be electrically connected with a bubble actuating circuit provided in the main bubble memory apparatus. The device further comprises a detector means for detecting the operation of ejecting the cassette from the holder. The detector means transmits a signal for stopping the bubble motion in advance of the disconnection of the cassette from the bubble actuating circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A magnetic bubble memory device comprising: a main bubble memory apparatus having a bubble actuating circuit and a holder; a magnetic bubble memory cassette which is inserted into said holder so as to be electrically connected with said bubble actuating circuit provided in said main apparatus; detector means for detecting the operation of disconnecting said magnetic bubble memory cassette from said holder, said detector means including means for transmitting a signal for stopping the bubble motion caused by said bubble actuating circuit in advance of the disconnection of said magnetic bubble memory cassette from said bubble actuating circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A magnetic bubble memory device comprising: a main bubble memory apparatus having a bubble actuating circuit and a holder; a magnetic bubble memory cassette which is inserted into said holder so as to be electrically connected with said bubble actuating circuit provided in said main apparatus; detector means for detecting the operation of disconnecting said magnetic bubble memory cassette from said holder, said detector means including means for transmitting a signal for stopping the bubble motion caused by said bubble actuating circuit in advance of the disconnection of said magnetic bubble memory cassette from said bubble actuating circuit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A magnetic bubble memory device according to claim 1, further comprising means, operatively connected to said detector means and said bubble actuating circuit, for stopping the revolving magnetic field for actuating bubbles at a predetermined angle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
A magnetic bubble memory device according to claim 2, further comprising a pushing member for ejecting said magnetic bubble memory cassette, wherein said detector means comprises a switch having a mechanical switching contact actuated by said pushing member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A magnetic bubble memory device according to claim 2, further comprising a pushing member for ejecting said magnetic bubble memory cassette, wherein said detector means comprises an optical sensor for detecting the movement of said pushing member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
A magnetic bubble memory device according to claim 2, further comprising a pushing member for ejecting said magnetic bubble memory cassette, wherein said detector means comprises a magnetic sensor for detecting the movement of said pushing member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A magnetic bubbe memory device according to claim 2, further comprising a cover pivotally mounted on said holder, wherein said detector means comprises a switch actuated by the opening and closing motion of said cover for said holder.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
47 words
A magnetic bubble memory device according to claim 1, further comprising display means for generating a display to indicate if said magnetic bubble memory cassette is inserted in said holder and to indicate if said magnetic bubble memory cassette is being operated by said bubble actuating circuit.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
88 words
A magnetic bubble memory device capable of receiving a cassette, comprising: a bubble actuating circuit; a cassette holder having an inlet for receiving the cassette, said cassette holder electrically connecting said bubble actuating circuit and the cassette; means for ejecting said cassette from said cassette holder; and means for detecting the actuation of said ejecting means and for generating a disable signal to disable said bubble actuating circuit, thereby stopping bubble motion in said cassette prior to the electrical disconnection of said cassette from said bubble actuating circuit.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
88 words
A magnetic bubble memory device capable of receiving a cassette, comprising: a bubble actuating circuit; a cassette holder having an inlet for receiving the cassette, said cassette holder electrically connecting said bubble actuating circuit and the cassette; means for ejecting said cassette from said cassette holder; and means for detecting the actuation of said ejecting means and for generating a disable signal to disable said bubble actuating circuit, thereby stopping bubble motion in said cassette prior to the electrical disconnection of said cassette from said bubble actuating circuit.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
42 words
A magnetic bubble memory device according to claim 8, further comprising means, operatively connected between said detecting means and said bubble actuating circuit, for receiving the disable signal and for stopping the revolving magnetic field for actuating bubbles at a predetermined angle.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
145 words
A magnetic bubble memory device according to claim 8 or 9, wherein said ejecting means comprises: an eject lever, pivotally mounted on said cassette holder, having a first end and having a second end positioned so as to abut the cassette when the cassette is inserted in said holder; a push rod mounted for slideable movement in said holder along an axis intersecting the first end of said eject lever when the cassette is inserted in said cassette holder; and means for biasing said push rod so that the first end of said push rod is normally displaced from the first end of said eject lever, wherein when said push rod is moved against the force of said biasing means, said detecting means detects the movement of said push rod prior to the time said push rod contacts the first end of said eject lever.
