专利汇可以提供Magnetic head assembly having a slotted body portion of elastic material for clamping a transducer and method of manufacture therefor专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A magnetic head assembly and the method of manufacture therefor is disclosed which includes a housing having long and short body portions and a magnetic transducer comprising first and second core portions that are clamped in the respective body portions. The body portions are made of a nonmagnetic elastic material and include core-gripping surfaces defined by aligned slots cut through respective mating surfaces of the body portions. Prior to assembly, the body portions are permanently deformed by applying forces that exceed the elastic limit of the body material whereby the core-gripping surfaces are spaced apart by a distance less than the thickness of the core portions. Thereafter, the coregripping surfaces are forced apart to receive the respective core portions. When the forces are released, the core-gripping surfaces spring back to tightly clamp the core in the slots.,下面是Magnetic head assembly having a slotted body portion of elastic material for clamping a transducer and method of manufacture therefor专利的具体信息内容。

6. A magnetic head assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said magnetic transducer assembly includes a read/write coil having conductive leads, and said erase core assembly includes an erase coil having conductive leads, and further including terminal strips secured to a portion of the outer surface of said first and said second body members for receiving said conductive leads of said read/write and erase coils.
7. A magnetic head assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein said first core-gripping surfaces are interconnected by a curved surface defining the perimeter of a stress reducing relief hole.
8. A magnetic head assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein each said body member comprises a plurality of spaced-apart slots in said mating surface, and further comprising a plurality of magnetic transducer assemblies respectively clampingly secured within each said slot, to provide a multi-channel magnetic head assembly.
9. A method for fabricating a magnetic head assembly comprising the steps of: permanently deforming a first deformable body member that is comprised of an elastic material and that has a slot defined by spaced-apart facing core-gripping surfaces so as to move said core-gripping surfaces toward one another; applying spreading forces within the elastic limits of said elastic material to said body member to spread said core-gripping surfaces apart a distance sufficient for said slot to receive a first magnetic core portion; inserting said first core portion into said slot between said core-gripping surfaces; and releasing said spreading forces, whereby said core-gripping surfaces spring against said core portion to clamp said core portion to said body member.
10. A method for fabricating a magnetic head assembly as recited in claim 9 wherein said body member comprises an elongated member that is C-shaped in cross section and wherein the step of permanently deforming said deformable body member is preceded by the step of positioning said body member in a fixture that has three spaced-apart force members such that the middle force member is directed toward the inner surface of the base of said body member between and in a direction substantially parallel to said core-gripping surfaces.
11. A method for fabricating a magnetic head assembly as recited in claim 10 wherein the step of applying spreading forces to said body member is preceded by the step of repositioning said deformed body member in said fixture with said middle force member directed toward the outer surface of the base of said body member in a direction substantially parallel to said core-gripping surfaces.
