Claims
- 1. A magnetic head device having:
- a chassis having an upper wall and lower base;
- a carriage movably mounted on said base and supporting a lower magnetic head on an upper surface thereof;
- an upper arm supporting an upper magnetic head on a lower surface thereof which is pivotably mounted to said carriage such that when said upper arm is lowered toward said carriage, said upper head becomes opposed to said lower head for recording and reproducing on a magnetic disk interposed therebetween; and
- biasing means for biasing said upper arm toward said carriage;
- wherein the improvement comprises a shock absorbing member provided on an upper surface of said upper arm facing said upper wall such that when said upper arm is lifted away from said carriage in an upward direction toward said upper wall of said chassis, said shock absorbing member becomes interposed between said upper arm and said upper wall so as to absorb the shock of any collision therebetween; and
- wherein said two layered shock absorbing member includes a soft sponge member attached on said upper surface of said upper arm and a substantially coextensive harder rubber member laminated on said sponge member, whereby only said rubber member contacts said upper wall when said upper arm is lifted away from said chassis, to prevent slippage and/or bouncing, thereby providing superior cushioning.
