Flexible magnetic disk conditioner.

摘要

A system for treating a floppy disk with conditioning fluid in order to clean, lubricate and destaticize the floppy disk is described. The system comprises a means (40, 45) for grasping the floppy disk about its center and rotating it, fluid absorbing pads (44) which are movable into and out of contact with the magnetic surfaces of the floppy disk through the read write openings in the floppy disk envelope (24) and a means (55) for dispensing conditioning fluid to the pads (44). In a preferred embodiment, electrical signals control the sequence of operations whereby the floppy disk is grasped by a clutch (40) and spindle mechanism (75) and rotated, fluid is dispensed to the pads (44), and the pads are moved into contact with the surfaces of the floppy disk to treat the disk.
