Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
196 words
A magnetic head assembly comprising a core housing carrying a plurality of core members with winding means thereon and separated by a first plurality of magnetic shield members, said core members with winding means and first shield members joined together to form an integral assembly, and a face part carrying a plurality of pairs of magnetic pole pieces with each pair arranged to define a transducing gap with each pair separated by a second plurality of magnetic shield members, said pole pieces and second shield members joined together to form an integral assembly, said face part assembly and core housing assembly having mated planar surfaces at which portions of the core members and first shield members respectively engage registering portions of the pole pieces and second shield members to complete a shielded magnetic circuit extending through each transducing gap, a longitudinal groove formed in at least one of said planar surfaces underlying said transducing gaps, and an adhesive material filling said groove and demountably securing said core housing assembly to said face part assembly solely at the groOve region to allow the face part assembly to be replaced by removing the adhesive material in the groove.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
196 words
A magnetic head assembly comprising a core housing carrying a plurality of core members with winding means thereon and separated by a first plurality of magnetic shield members, said core members with winding means and first shield members joined together to form an integral assembly, and a face part carrying a plurality of pairs of magnetic pole pieces with each pair arranged to define a transducing gap with each pair separated by a second plurality of magnetic shield members, said pole pieces and second shield members joined together to form an integral assembly, said face part assembly and core housing assembly having mated planar surfaces at which portions of the core members and first shield members respectively engage registering portions of the pole pieces and second shield members to complete a shielded magnetic circuit extending through each transducing gap, a longitudinal groove formed in at least one of said planar surfaces underlying said transducing gaps, and an adhesive material filling said groove and demountably securing said core housing assembly to said face part assembly solely at the groOve region to allow the face part assembly to be replaced by removing the adhesive material in the groove.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The magnetic head assembly of claim 1, further defined by said longitudinal groove being formed in the planar surface of said core housing assembly.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The head assembly as set forth in claim 2, wherein said longitudinal groove is further defined as having a V-shaped cross section.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The head assembly as defined in claim 3, said core members each being V-shaped and disposed in said housing with their troughs aligned so as to outline the location of said V-shaped groove.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
The head assembly as defined in claim 4, wherein said V-shaped core members have an angle of the order of 90*, and said coil means comprises a pair of coils for each core member, each coil being wound around one leg of the V-shaped core member.
