SLIDING-TYPE MAGNETIC HEAD FOR MAGNETOOPTICAL RECORDING

摘要

A magnetic head for magnetooptically recording information on a magnetooptical recording medium in sliding contact therewith has a head body having a sliding sole for sliding contact with a magnetooptical recording medium, a leaf spring, the head body being supported by the leaf spring, and a support member, the leaf spring having an end fixed to the support member. The leaf spring comprises a first spring system joined to the support member, a second spring system extending from the first spring system, and a third spring system extending from a distal end of the sec- ond spring system toward the support member, the head body being supported by the third spring system. The support member has a stopper which holds the distal end of the sec- ond spring system in a position to store a predetermined amount of recovery energy in the leaf spring.
