Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Described are embodiments of an invention for a method and a tool to produce a textured surface on the retention tab of a storage cell. The tool has a form that fits within the storage cell. The form has a hard material with a hard surface with contacts a surface of the retention tab within the storage cell. The movement of the hard surface across the surface of the retention tab produces a textured surface on the retention tab. The textured interface between a notch of a data storage cartridge and a retention tab of a storage cell provides a consistent and low friction force that retains the data storage cartridge within the cell but allows the accessor to easily remove the data storage cartridge when needed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A tool for texturing comprising: a form that fits in a storage cell, said form having a notch configured to receive a retention tab therein when said form is inserted in said storage cell; said form having a hard material having a least one hard surface which contacts a surface of said retention tab within said storage cell as said form is inserted in said storage cell; and wherein a movement of said hard surface across said surface of said retention t…
