Abstract

Abstract A magnetic head having a sheet of magnetic material deposited or adhered with an insulating film directly to a sheet of conductive material and indirectly through a conductive film to a sheet of nonconductive material; a plurality of electromagnetic converting films provided on said insulating film; current, voltage and ground terminals formed on said electromagnetic converting films by ohmic connection of conductive material, said ground terminal being connected by said magnetic material or said conductive film at the side of sliding contact with a magnetic tape; and a magnetic substance having an insulating portion, at least at the surface thereof, connected independently of each other to each of said electromagnetic converting films. This magnetic head is manufactured by a method having the steps of depositing or adhering a plurality of electromagnetic converting films on a sheet of magnetic material, connecting a magnetic substance independently of each other on said respective electromagnetic converting films for supporting said electromagnetic converting films therebetween.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 157 words
A plural track magnetic head having a face for contacting a magnetic tape and comprising: a. a first piece of magnetic material; b. an insulating film covering a portion of said first piece of magnetic material; c. a plurality of electromagnetic converting means for converting between magnetic signals and electrical signals and affixed to said insulating film wherein each of said electromagnetic converting means corresponds to one of said tracks; d. a plurality of second pieces of magnetic material having an insulating layer on a surface thereof, each of said second pieces of magnetic material being affixed to a different one of said electromagnetic converting means; and e. control current terminals, output terminals and ground terminals on each of said electromagnetic converting means, all of said ground terminals being coupled in common to said first piece of magnetic material on the face of said head and each of said output terminals corresponding to one of said tracks.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 157 words
A plural track magnetic head having a face for contacting a magnetic tape and comprising: a. a first piece of magnetic material; b. an insulating film covering a portion of said first piece of magnetic material; c. a plurality of electromagnetic converting means for converting between magnetic signals and electrical signals and affixed to said insulating film wherein each of said electromagnetic converting means corresponds to one of said tracks; d. a plurality of second pieces of magnetic material having an insulating layer on a surface thereof, each of said second pieces of magnetic material being affixed to a different one of said electromagnetic converting means; and e. control current terminals, output terminals and ground terminals on each of said electromagnetic converting means, all of said ground terminals being coupled in common to said first piece of magnetic material on the face of said head and each of said output terminals corresponding to one of said tracks.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 45 words
A magnetic head as set forth in claim 1 further including short-circuiting means for coupling the control current terminals of each electromagnetic converting means to the control current terminals of the adjacent electromagnetic converting means for providing a short circuit between adjacent electromagnetic converting means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
A magnetic head as set forth in claim 1 wherein said electromagnetic converting means is recessed from said face of said head.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 72 words
A magnetic head as set forth in claim 3 wherein: said first piece of magnetic material supports said electromagnetic converting means and is conductive; said insulating layer is between said electromagnetic converting means and said second piece of magnetic material; and wherein said electromagnetic converting means is connected to said first piece of magnetic material at a point adjacent to the magnetic tape so that said piece of magnetic material is grounded.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 58 words
