<p> A cleaning mechanism (11) for phonograph disc records (13) includes a plurality of probes (39) arranged in line abreast relative to the direction of record rotation, for engagement within the record groove to remove particulate matter entrained therein.
<??>The probes are preferably wires having a tip part (41) inclined at about 90 DEG to a mounting part (43) which is held in a carrier (31) over the record. The carrier has means for dry cleaning such as a pad (97) to pick up particles, or for wet cleaning including a liquid reservoir (99) and dispensing means (101, 119, 91), supported therefrom suitably from a pivoted arm (87). The carrier may be supported from a radially extending beam (19) or a pivoted arm (219) disposed in a leading attitude, in a manner permitting tracking by the probes of the record groove. </p> |
