Abstract:
Disclosed is a thin film magnetic head having a structure wherein the main portion of a coil consists of a copper or copper alloy layer and its upper surface is covered with a thin film mask consisting of titanium, titanium oxide, chromium and/or chromium oxide. The magnetic head of the invention can prevent the occurrence of projecting etching residues at the upper edge portion of the coil and can easily increase the cross-sectional area and the winding density of the coil. Furthermore, when the thin film mask consists of titanium and/or titanium oxide, a titanium diffusion prevention film consisting of chromium, for example, is interposed between the thin film mask and the copper or copper alloy, so that the resistance change of the coil scarcely takes place owing to heat treatment in a production process after the formation of the coil and the head reliability can be further improved.
Abstract:
A vertical recording head includes a W-shaped core, a substrate carrying a thin film probe supported in one slot of the core, and a shield coil wound in the slots to hold the substrate and assemblage together. A non-magnetic cap forms the surface of the head over the cap, with the arrangement being such that the probe extends through the cap so the magnetic gap is as small as possible.
Abstract:
A multi-track magnetic head comprises a first core half having a plurality of thin film cores made by thin film forming technique, and a second core half having a plurality of block cores and a plurality of block spacers which are stacked in advance. The first and second core halves are assembled so that they face each other. Each of the block cores has a U-shaped recess so that the block core is spaced from the thin film core except for both ends thereof. A coil of each head may be made of spiral coil pattern conductive layer deposited on the thin film core with an interposition of an insulating film, or may be a wire wound around the body of the block core.
Abstract:
A construction is disclosed of a magnetic transducer having a built-in step-up transformer. A ring head portion of the transducer consists of a ring head core defining a substantially closed magnetic path including a front non-magnetic gap and an internal winding aperture, and of a signal winding disposed on the ring head core so as to be interlinked with the magnetic path of the ring head core. A transformer portion of the transducer is mounted at a rear plane of the ring head core and consists of a transformer core, a primary winding, a secondary winding and a rear portion of the ring head core. The transformer core includes a central yoke, at least one peripheral yoke and a linkage yoke. The central yoke and the peripheral yoke are connected with each other at one end by the linkage yoke and at the other end by the rear portion of the ring head core. The primary and the secondary windings are disposed on the transformer core encompassing the central yoke in a coaxial manner, so as to form a shell-type transformer. The ring head portion is coupled to the transformer portion by connecting the signal winding to the primary winding.
Abstract:
A vertical magnetic recording and reproducing head includes a magnetic sensing element for sensing a magnetized pattern recorded in a recording medium which serves as a main magnetic electrode in the reproduction mode, a bias section for biasing the magnetic sensing element, and a main magnetic pole which is disposed adjacent to said magnetic sensing element. The main magnetic pole includes a magnetic member serving as the main magnetic pole for magnetizing the recording medium in the record mode.
Abstract:
Audio signals with opposite relative phases are recorded on two tracks. A dual track head reproduces the signals from the two tracks and introduces another phase reversal of one signal relative to the other. Noise which was not present in the record circuit, but enters the system at the playback head, is out of phase in the signals which the playback head applies to the playback circuit. Combining the out-of-phase noise components of the two signals substantially cancels the noise.
Abstract:
A multitrack magnetic head is made from an electrically conductive first helix formed on an iron wire that is, in turn, wound to form a second helix. By cutting or lapping a longitudinal flat along one side of the second helix, the first helix is severed into respective discrete coil-wound gapped cores.

Abstract:
A thin film inductive transducer head includes a magnetic circuit with a pair of legs and inductive coils. The legs are thinner near the pole tip than in the back gap region. The legs are also narrower in the pole tip region than in the back gap region. Resolution is enhanced by the thin pole tips and saturation of the yoke structure is avoided by increasing the cross-sectional area of the yoke structure away from the pole tip region.
Abstract:
According to the invention, the rotary magnetic head assembly comprises a current-conducting housing which accommodates magnetic heads and a contactless signal transformer device. The magnetic heads are mounted on a holder secured on a hollow shaft. The contactless signal transformer device comprises a rotor mounted on the holder and a stator spaced at a certain distance from the rotor. The rotor and stator cores are closed magnetic circuits with helical windings. The center of each turn of said windings is on a circumference matched with the center line of each of the closed magnetic circuits. The hollow shaft accommodates a current-conducting element joined to the bottom and the lid of the housing so that the lid, walls and bottom of the housing and said current-conducting element make up a closed spatial coupling loop of the rotor and stator windings. The closed magnetic circuits of the rotor and stator encompass the current-conducting element.
