Abstract:
A magnetic head including a head chip (22) and head holders (24,26) for holding the head chip therebetween. The head chip includes a core (28, 30) of magentically permeable material which is closed except for a transducing gap (32, 34, 35) provided in the core and is wound by a coil (42, 44). The head holders (24,26) are made of non-magnetic material and has a guide surface which is brought into slidable contact with a magnetic recording medium. On the guide surface, grooves (50, 52) are formed along the direction of the relative movement of the magnetic recording medium with respect to the head.
Abstract:
A magnetic head which enables the formation of a guard band on a magnetic recording medium, and which is particularly suitable for a magnetic disk, is disclosed together with a method of manufacturing thereof. The magnetic head is provided with a recording/reproducing head core (31) and an erasure head core (32) which is also used for forming a guard band, and which is integrally bonded in series to the head core (31). A magnetic circuit is constituted by magnetic metal members (34), (34'), (35), (35') formed on non-magnetic members (33), (33'). It is possible to record on a recording medium with a high coercive force and reduce the track width, and this magnetic head is highly accurate and easy to manufacture.
Abstract:
A magnetic head assembly having a read and write magnetic transducing assembly (390) with a gap (406) for recording a track of data having a first width on a moving magnetic media (160) and an erase magnetic transducing assembly (392) located adjacent said read and write magnetic transducing assembly (390). The erase magnetic transducing assembly includes a pair of erase cores (394, 396) each having two core portions (412, 414) which each terminate in end sections positioned with one end section of each core portion adjacent each other to define an erase gap (426) and with the other end sections of each core portion terminating in end edges which are spaced from each other to define an opening therebetween. The pair of erase cores (394, 396) are positioned in spaced, substantially parallel relationship to each other with a predetermined distance therebetween which is less than said first width. The erase gaps (426) are located on each side of the recording gap to erase a portion of the edge of each recorded track of data having a first width to produce a recorded track of data on a said magnetic media having a track width substantially equal to said predetermined distance. An erase coil (424) encloses two spaced parallel aligned other end sections of one core portions (414,416) of each erase core (394, 396) with the end edges thereof extending slightly beyond the erase coil (424). A back bar (420) having a first end (430) and a second end (432 is positioned across the opening with said first end (430) contiguous each of said end edges of the two spaced parallel aligned other end sections (414, 416). The second end (432) is contiguous the other two spaced parallel aligned other end sections of the other core portion of each erase core to form a closed low reluctance path.

A magnetic head (5) suitable for use in a magnetic disk. In a magnetic head in accordance with the present invention, a read/write head (20) and an erase head (10) are placed side by side in the rotation direction of the magnetic disk. A gap (30) in the read/write head is placed at a distance of from a pair of gaps (40a, 40b) in the erase head.

Abstract:
The specification describes an assembly of a pair of magnetic transducers (400) held substantially in contact with opposite sides of a flexible magnetic disk wherein each transducer has a pair of disk contacting lands (404,406) each broadening from the leading edge (404b) to the trailing edge (404c), with the leading edge (404b) and side edge (404d) of each land being gradually blended into the surrounding active surface of the transducer and with the trailing edge (404c) of the land being sharp. A first one (404) of the lands of each transducer has a read/write magnetic gap (28U) in it, and in use (this land is located opposite the second land (not having the read/write gap in it) of the other transducer, the second land being wider than the first land in each case. The centres of the opposing lands are in alignment, the centres being located on a plane passing through the read/write gaps of the transducers.
Abstract:
A magnetic transducer assembly having separate core portions (12, 13) with keyways (17,18) provided therein. The core portions are assembled to form a substantially closed magnetic circuit defining a transducing gap (35). The keyways form recesses which are contiguous with a transducer inner space provided by the assembled cores. The inner space and recesses are filled with a nonmagnetic bonding material. The resulting bond improves the mechanical coupling between the core portions.
Abstract:
A magnetic multi-gap transducer having a single integrated core structure with a central common I-bar (22) and a pair of flanking pole pieces (21, 23). A first relatively low reluctance magnetic path is formed by the I-bar and a first one (21) of the flanking pole pieces to provide a recording gap (26) having a read function capability. A second relatively high reluctance magnetic path is formed by the central I-bar (22) and the other flanking pole piece (23) so as to define a second recording gap (27), the low reluctance for the second path being provided by a relatively large non-magnetic air gap between the I-bar and the second pole piece. The integrated core structure is embedded in a non-magnetic slider (10), and each flanking pole piece (21, 23) has an electromagnetic coil (31, 33) received thereon.

A read/write gap (22) is defined between gap defining end portions (19, 21) of the first and second recording/reproducing cores. The erasing head has first and second erasing cores (24, 28). Two erasing gaps (32) are defined between gap defining end portions (25, 29) of the first and second erasing cores.
