Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for controlling the monoplanar motion of an object, more in particular a tape containing optically readable information, comprising two opposite clamping means on either side of the object. The object as well as at least one of the clamping means are accommodated within a dustproof case. One of the clamping means can be moved relative to the other by generating an (electro)magnetic field outside the case.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A dustproof case containg an optical information carrier tape wound on two reels between which an apparatus is provided for controlling the monoplanar motion of said optical information carrier tape by clamping between a first and second clamping means, wherein said first clamping means includes an optical lens and is connected to a feromagnetic piece, said second clamping means including a reflective surface means facing said tape, wherein an hour surface of said lens intermittently contacts said reflective surface means through said tape to control the motion of the tape therebetween, and wherein no internal electromagnetic field generating means are included in said case so that said first clamping means moves relative to the second means in respones to an external electromagnetic field to control movement of said optical information carrierd tape.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
132 words
A dustproof case containg an optical information carrier tape wound on two reels between which an apparatus is provided for controlling the monoplanar motion of said optical information carrier tape by clamping between a first and second clamping means, wherein said first clamping means includes an optical lens and is connected to a feromagnetic piece, said second clamping means including a reflective surface means facing said tape, wherein an hour surface of said lens intermittently contacts said reflective surface means through said tape to control the motion of the tape therebetween, and wherein no internal electromagnetic field generating means are included in said case so that said first clamping means moves relative to the second means in respones to an external electromagnetic field to control movement of said optical information carrierd tape.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A dustproof case as recited in claim 1 wherein said reflective surface means is a rim of a wheel.
