MAGNETIC HEAD ASSEMBLY FOR TAPE RECORDERS HAVING REVERSIBLE TAPE MOTION

摘要

"Magnetic Head Assembly for Tape Recorders Having Reversible Tape Motion" In a tape recording/reproducing apparatus having reversible tape motion, a magnetic head assembly comprises an outer member movable from a tape noncontact position to a tape contact position, and an inner member carrying a magnetic head. The inner member is mounted in the outer member for movement therewith and rotatable therein from a first angular position to a second angular position upon reversals of tape motion. A certain amount of clearance is provided between the outer and inner housing to ensure smooth rotation of the inner member. A spring is provided for urging the inner member radially into the angular positions against the inner wall of the outer member when the latter is in the tape contact position.
