Abstract
A medium processing device may include a head which reads or writes data to a recording medium; and a flexible cable which is connected with the head. The flexible cable may be formed in a multilayer structure including a data signal layer formed with a data signal pattern and disconnection detecting signal layers which cover a front face and a rear face of the data signal layer and are formed with a disconnection detecting signal pattern. The flexible cable may also include a terminal connecting part formed with a through hole into which a signal terminal of the head is inserted and a terminal covering part folded to cover the terminal connecting part and fixed to the terminal connecting part.
Claims11
A medium processing device for use with a recording medium, the medium processing device comprising:
- a recording and reproducing head configured to read data recorded in the recording medium or write data to the recording medium;
- and
- a flexible cable which is connected with the recording and reproducing head;
- wherein the flexible cable is formed in a multilayer structure comprising:
- a data signal layer which is formed with a data signal pattern transmitting data signal from the recording and reproducing head and/or data signal to the recording and reproducing head;
- and
- disconnection detecting signal layers which cover a front face and a rear face of the data signal layer and are formed with a disconnection detecting signal pattern transmitting a disconnection detecting signal for detecting disconnection of the disconnection detecting signal pattern;
- and
- wherein the flexible cable comprises:
- a terminal connecting part which is formed with a through hole into which a signal terminal of the recording and reproducing head is inserted;
- and
- a terminal covering part which is folded to cover the terminal connecting part and is fixed to the terminal connecting part.
A flexible cable which is structured in a multilayer structure, the flexible cable comprising:
- a data signal layer which is formed with a data signal pattern configured to transmit a data signal;
- disconnection detecting signal layers which cover a front face and a rear face of the data signal layer and are formed with a disconnection detecting signal pattern transmitting a disconnection detecting signal for detecting disconnection of the disconnection detecting signal pattern;
- a terminal connecting part which is formed with a through hole into which a signal terminal of a recording and reproducing head, which performs reading of data recorded in a recording medium and/or writing of data to the recording medium, is inserted;
- and
- a terminal covering part which is folded to cover the terminal connecting part and is fixed to the terminal connecting part.
