Floppy disk driving device

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To improve the stability of an electric output by providing one magnetic head on both surfaces of a flexible medium in a non-opposing state, and providing a pad for pressing each magnetic head against the flexible medium opposite the magnetic head. CONSTITUTION:One magnetic head 3' and one pad 4 are supported on a carriage 6 through a spring member 5 and the other magnetic heads 3' and the other pad 4' are supported on an arm through a spring member 5'. Consequently, when the flexible medium 1 undulates, the spring members 5 and 5' which support the magnetic heads and pads flex and the magnetic heads 3 and 3' and pads 4 and 4' follow up the undulations of the flexible medium 1; and the pads 4 and 4' correct the undulations of the flexible medium 1 with the pressing force of the spring 8 of the arm 7. Therefore, the magnetic heads 3 and 3' are pressed stably against the flexible medium 1 to stabilize the electric output.
