Patent number: 5576912Abstract: In a floating magnetic head, noises produced at the time of reproduction are reduced, thereby enhancing the precision of detection of a track position. The floating magnetic head uses a monocrystal magnetic material constituting an electromagnetic transducer element, and a crystal orientation of the monocrystal magnetic material in the electromagnetic transducer element is parallel to a direction of travel of a medium. In the case of .vertline..lambda..sub.111 .vertline.+2.times.10.sup.-6 .ltoreq..vertline..lambda..sub.100 .vertline., the crystal orientation is in the range of a solid angle of 3.multidot.sin.theta..multidot.cos.phi. which satisfies 0.ltoreq..theta.<10 degrees and 0.ltoreq..phi..ltoreq.360 degrees around [111], and in the case of .vertline..lambda..sub.111 .vertline..gtoreq..vertline..lambda..sub.100 .vertline.+2.times.10.sup.-6, the crystal orientation is in the range of a solid angle of sin .theta..multidot.cos.phi. which satisfies 0.ltoreq..theta.<10 degrees and 0.ltoreq..phi..ltoreq.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1994Date of Patent: November 19, 1996Assignee: Hitachi Metals LimitedInventors: Chiharu Mitsumata, Masanobu Yamazaki, Ryo Goto

Patent number: 5273948Abstract: A bonding glass for assembling a magnetic head by bonding a magnetic core to a non-magnetic ceramic slider. The magnetic core has a gap and an Fe-Al-Si film within the gap. The bonding glass includes SiO.sub.2 in the range of 6 to 11 wt %, B.sub.2 O.sub.3 in the range of 5 to 9 wt %, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 in the range of 2 to 5 wt %, PbO in the range of 55 to 70 wt %, Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3 in the range of 5 to 15 wt %, TeO.sub.2 in the range of 1 to 10 wt % and CuO in the range of 0.5 to 2 wt %. A part of the PbO in PbO-SiO.sub.2 -B.sub.2 O.sub.3 -Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 glass is replaced with TeO.sub.2 and Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3 and, at the same time, CuO is added in order to prevent the formation of a heterophase. Glass color change under high temperature and high humidity is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1992Date of Patent: December 28, 1993Assignee: Hitachi Metals, Ltd.Inventors: Masanobu Yamazaki, Kazumi Noguchi

Patent number: 5234384Abstract: An automatic tensioner for applying a tension to a belt of an engine for a vehicle comprises a shaft fixedly mounted on a part of the vehicle. An arm has a proximal section which is supported by the shaft for angular movement thereabout, and a free end section of the arm is located on the side opposite to the proximal section. A pulley is supported by the free end section of the arm for angular movement thereabout and is in contact with the belt. A plate element is provided which is fixedly mounted on the shaft. A plurality of rolling elements are arranged between the proximal section of the arm and the plate element. The rolling element rolls between the proximal section of the arm and the plate element to support the proximal section for angular movement. The arm is moved angularly by a spring about the shaft to bias the pulley toward the belt.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1991Date of Patent: August 10, 1993Assignee: Fujikiko Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masato Shibata, Masanobu Yamazaki

Patent number: 5233492Abstract: A floating magnetic head comprises a pair of magnetic core pieces which face each other through a gap and a metal magnetic film formed on the surface facing the gap of one of the pair of magnetic core pieces. The pair of magnetic core pieces are made of a single crystal Mn-Zn ferrite, a plane of the magnetic core pieces being formed almost in parallel with the surface forming a main magnetic path, and a <100> direction in the plane being formed to meet a relation of an angle .theta. to be 26.degree.<.theta..ltoreq.45.degree. between the <100> direction and the surface facing the gap.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1992Date of Patent: August 3, 1993Assignee: Hitachi Metals, Ltd.Inventors: Hitoshi Iwata, Kazumi Noguchi, Ryo Goto, Masanobu Yamazaki

Patent number: 5086553Abstract: A flying-type composite magnetic head includes (a) a magnetic core constituted by a pair of core pieces bonded together by a first glass portion, at least one of opposing surfaces of the core pieces being formed with a thin magnetic metal layer; (b) a non-magnetic slider having a slit for receiving the magnetic core; and (c) a second glass portion for fixing the magnetic core in the slit; the first glass portion having a softening point lower than a first bonding temperature by 70.degree. C. or more and a yielding temperature higher than a second bonding temperature, and the second glass portion having a softening point lower than a second bonding temperature by 70.degree. C. or more. The first bonding temperature T.sub.1 (.degree.C.) for forming the first glass portion satisfies the following relation:T.sub.1 .ltoreq.aW+b,wherein W is a thickness (.mu.m) of the thin magnetic metal layer, a is between -25 and -15 and b is between 720 and 770, and a second bonding temperature T.sub.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1990Date of Patent: February 11, 1992Assignee: Hitachi Metals, Ltd.Inventors: Ryo Goto, Tadafumi Tomitani, Fumio Nitanda, Masanobu Yamazaki, Manabu Toyoda, Makoto Ushijima

Patent number: 4874353Abstract: A method for manufacturing a poly-V pulley includes a process for slitting and compressing the peripheral edge portion of an essentially flat blank for forming a widened and thickened flange wall. A series of relatively narrow, deep, V-shaped grooves are cold rolled. The poly-V pulley thus produced has the flange wall with poly-V grooves, from the intermediate portion of which a web extends radially inward. This structure provides good dynamic balance of rotation for the pulley and thus prolongs the life not only of the pulleys per se but also the belt to be put around the pulley. Further, the manufacturing method allows the manufacture of relatively small diameter poly-V pulleys.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1988Date of Patent: October 17, 1989Assignee: Fuji Kiko Company, LimitedInventors: Ken Matsuoka, Masanobu Yamazaki
