Abstract
A rotary magnetic head carrier comprises a rotary structure having a cylindrical outer peripheral surface and formed to have at least one cutout or recess into which at least one part of a rotary magnetic head to be mounted on and held by the carrier is fitted. The recess has an opening part at the outer peripheral surface of the rotary structure. Tip edge parts of two side parts disposed on opposite sides of the opening part of the recess and defined by and interposed between the outer peripheral surface and the inner surface of the recess are deformed by pressing inwardly from the outer peripheral surface so as not to project outwardly therefrom.
Claims8
A rotary magnetic head carrier for use with a recording medium which normally travels in a given direction, said carrier comprising a rotary structure having a cylindrical outer peripheral surface for contacting said medium, at least one cutout or recess formed in said structure to receive at least one part of a rotary magnetic head to be mounted on and held by the carrier, the recess having an opening part extending in a rotational direction of the rotary structure at the outer peripheral surface of the rotary structure, a leading side part of said recess engaging said medium first and a trailing side part of said recess engaging said medium last when said medium is traveling in said given direction, tip edge parts of said two side parts extending transversely to the rotational direction of the rotary structure and being disposed on opposite sides of the opening part of the recess and defined by and interposed between the outer peripheral surface, and the inner surface of at least the trailing edge of the recess being deformed by being pressed inwardly from the outer peripheral surface so that said tip edge parts do not project outwardly therefrom.
