Patent number: 7050265Abstract: Disclosed herein is a rotary head drum unit including a cylindrical drum surface and a magnetic head for recording/reproducing a signal to/from a magnetic tape running along the drum surface. The magnetic head has a tape sliding surface adapted to come into sliding contact with the magnetic tape. The tape sliding surface of the magnetic head is positioned at a level lower than the height of the magnetic tape flying above the drum surface. The magnetic tape is brought into contact with the tape sliding surface by negative pressure. With this configuration, an increase in contact pressure of the magnetic tape sliding on the tape sliding surface of the magnetic head can be prevented and the contact pressure can be uniformed to thereby prevent a reduction and variations in magnetic recording or reproduction output.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2003Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Masayuki Kondo, Tadashi Ozue

Patent number: 6935551Abstract: Intersected portions (C) of coated electric wires 20 and (21) are sandwiched and pressurized between a horn-side chip (11) and an anvil-side chip (12) (sandwiching step). Ultrasonic vibration force determined by a first vibration condition is applied to the horn-side chip (11) to melt insulators (20a) and (21a) of the coated electric wires (20) and (21) (insulator-melting step). A time point when conductors (20b) and (21b) of the coated electric wires (20) and (21) come into contact with each other is automatically detected by the melting of the insulators (20a) and (21a) (conductor contact-detecting step). After the conductors came into contact with each other, ultrasonic vibration force determined by a second vibration condition is applied to the horn-side chip (11), thereby bonding the conductors (20b) and (21b) to each other (conductor-bonding step).Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2002Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Yazaki CorporationInventor: Masayuki Kondo
