Magnetic recording or reading head support - has active surface of head angled relative to pressure point to prevent head rubbing on support during stopping or starting

摘要

The recording magnetic or reading head is carried in a shoe (8). The shoe (8) pivots on an axis. This axis is essentially perpendicular to the direction of the shoes relative movement with respect to the recording support (1). The form of the face of the shoe with respect to the support is set. The active surface (14) of the printing or reading head closed to the surface is set back with respect to a pressure point (15) on the face of the shoe. The pressure point is situated between the head and the line of action of force exerted on the shoe. The shoe can pivot along a line essentially parallel to the axis when it is placed on the recording support.
