  • Method and apparatus for mounting a cassette record-playback head
    Patent number: 3978522
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for accurately locating a record-playback head with respect to a tape carried within a conventional tape cassette. The cassette is oriented within a cradle by means of a pair of parallel guide pins which engage the alignment openings of the cassette. A playback-record head is mounted upon a mounting clip which defines a U in cross-section having a record-playback head mounting leg and an alignment leg. The alignment leg defines two alignment surfaces which cooperate with the guide pins to accurately position the clip and the record-playback head carried thereon with respect to the cradle and a cassette carried therein.
