Abstract
Abstract Alternate S- and N-poles are disposed on a multipolar erasing head in the direction of a relative movement of the multipolar erasing head to a magnetic recording medium. The multipolar erasing head includes at least one region where the distances between adjacent magnetic poles of the same polarity are successively shortened in the direction for successively erasing the information recorded on the recording medium. A method and apparatus for manufacturing such an erasing head are also disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
A method for manufacturing a multipolar erasing head comprising the steps of: moving a multipolar erasing head member of which the surface to be magnetized is disposed in one of a state slidably contacted with, and a state very slightly spaced from, an electromagent having a gap, the front of which is passed by said erasing head member surface; supplying to an exciting winding of said electromagnet pulse currents of which the polarities are periodically reversed during said movement; and controlling either one of the speed of said relative movement of said erasing head member and the period of the polarity reversing of said pulse current so as to successively change in a given direction the distances between adjacent magnetic poles of the same polarity formed on the surface of said erasing head member.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
134 words
A method for manufacturing a multipolar erasing head comprising the steps of: moving a multipolar erasing head member of which the surface to be magnetized is disposed in one of a state slidably contacted with, and a state very slightly spaced from, an electromagent having a gap, the front of which is passed by said erasing head member surface; supplying to an exciting winding of said electromagnet pulse currents of which the polarities are periodically reversed during said movement; and controlling either one of the speed of said relative movement of said erasing head member and the period of the polarity reversing of said pulse current so as to successively change in a given direction the distances between adjacent magnetic poles of the same polarity formed on the surface of said erasing head member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The manufacturing method according to claim 1, in which bias current with a given amplitude is superposed on said pulse current.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The manufacturing method according to claim 1, in which the amplitude of said pulse current is successively changed during said movement of said erasing head member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The manufacturing method according to claim 1, in which said distances are successively changed by successively changing said relative movement speed of said erasing head member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The manufacturing method according to claim 1, in which said distances are successively changed by successively changing the polarity inversing period of said pulse current.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
24 words
The manufacturing method according to claim 4, in which the rate of the successive change of said relative movement is constant during said movement.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
45 words
The manufacturing method according to claim 4, in which the rate of the successive change of said relative movement of said erasing head member during at least selected one of periods of movement of said erasing head is smaller than those during the remaining periods.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
The manufacturing method according to claim 1, in which a plurality of successive changes of said relative movement are repeated during said relative movement of said erasing head member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
139 words
A manufacturing method of a multipolar erasing head comprising the steps of: moving a multipolar erasing head member of which the surface to be magnetized is disposed in one of a state slidably in contact with, and a state very slightly spaced apart from an electromagnet having a gap, the front of which is passed by said erasing head member surface; detecting the time that a specified position to be magnetized on the surface of said erasing head member passes the front of said gap during said relative movement and producing a control signal in synchronism with said time; and supplying to an exciting winding wound around said electromagnet pulse current with polarities and amplitudes corresponding to said controlling signal, said pulse current being supplied from a magnetizing current supply circuit in response to said control signal applied thereto.
