Abstract
In the vibration system of a pickup cartridge of a record player, the object of preliminarily applying a required deforming bias, in a direction opposite to the direction of the vertical tracking force, to the damper which deforms with the application of a vertical tracking force, and of releasing this deforming bias when the stylus is actually applied with a vertical tracking force, is achieved by arranging the cantilever-supporting tension wire which pulls the cantilever in the rearward direction, so as to pass through the damper at a position eccentric relative to the center of this damper which is disposed between the armature-carrying cantilever and the tension wire holder.

A vibration system of a pickup cartridge of a record player, comprising:
- a cantilever having a stylus tip at its forward end portion;
- an armature secured to a rear end portion of said cantilever;
- a damper disposed rearwardly of both the rear end portion of said cantilever and said armature;
- a tension wire coupled to a rear end portion of said cantilever to rearwardly pull said cantilever;
- and
- a holder for holding a rear end portion of said tension wire;
- said damper being positioned between the rear end portion of said cantilever and said holder;
- said armature, said damper and said holder being disposed so that their respective central axial lines are in alignment, and said tension wire is disposed along an axial line displaced downwardly of said aligned central axial lines.
