Transducer Support And Stabilizer

US Patent:
4003091, Jan 11, 1977
Filed:
Mar 8, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/665153
Inventors:
Gary Thorup Wright - Longmont CO
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G11B 1564, G11B 560, G11B 582
US Classification:
360102
Abstract:
A toroidal-shaped stabilizer mounts a transducer for controlled penetration into a flexible record media, preferably a record disk. The toroidal-shaped stabilizer has a convex surface facing the flexible disk to be stabilized. The convex surface has an apex in an outer radial portion of the toroidal stabilizer. The toroidal stabilizer can be used in either a multiple disk assembly, with a single disk assembly or any nondisk type flexible magnetic record apparatus.

Flexible Disk Storage Apparatus

US Patent:
4074330, Feb 14, 1978
Filed:
Aug 30, 1976
Appl. No.:
5/719023
Inventors:
David G. Norton - Boulder CO
Gary T. Wright - Longmont CO
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G11B 1564, G11B 560, G11B 582
US Classification:
360102
Abstract:
A Bernoulli disk storage apparatus includes an elongated slot or groove having a substantial radial elongated portion for movably receiving a transducer. On either side of the groove are air bearing means which induce a pull down force on the record storage disk as it passes over the groove. By varying selected parameters, the medium-to-transducer spacing is held substantially constant throughout the radial extent of a desired recording area. Further, flutter usually associated with a Bernoulli disk at its outer radial portion is eliminated.
