| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention is directed to a magnetic head supporting mechanism for a magneto-optical disc (1) recording and/or reproducing apparatus which includes an optical pickup device (2) being made movable in the radial direction of a magneto-optical disc (1) and radiating a light beam on tracks formed on the magneto-optical disc (1), and a magnetic head (3) disposed on a head supporting mechanism movable in synchronism with the optical pickup device (2) in an opposing relation to the optical pickup device (2) across the magneto-optical disc (1) so that the magnetic head (3) generates an external magnetic field on the tracks of the magneto-optical disc (1). This magnetic head supporting mechanism comprises an arm member (18) having on one end thereof provided the magnetic head (3) and being rotatably supported to a movable member that is moved in synchronism with the optical pickup device (2) in the direction in which the magnetic head (3) comes in contact with or away from a surface of the magneto-optical disc (1), a lifting member (30) being interposed between the arm member (18) and the magneto-optical disc (1) in substantially parallel to the moving direction of the magneto-optical disc (1) and being supported at least on one end thereof to a chassis so that the lifting member (30) becomes rotatable in the direction in which it comes in contact with or away from the surface of the magneto-optical disc (1) surface, and a driving device (16) for rotating the lifting member (30) so that the arm member (18) is lifted in the direction in which the arm member (18) comes away from the surface of the magneto-optical disc (1). <IMAGE></p> |
