Abstract: A locking member is provided for properly locking an electrical device turning member and fixed member together. The locking member includes an elastic engaging piece and an elastic touching piece. The elastic engaging piece engages an in-hole projection of an engaging hole of the turning member upon insertion of the locking member into the engaging hole. The locking member elastic touching piece contacts the inside wall of the engaging hole upon insertion of the locking member into the engaging hole. The locking member further includes a latching part for engaging a latching projection of the fixed member. The elastic engaging piece and elastic touching piece both provide for sway prevention of the locking member within the engaging hole, and securely lock the locking member within the hole.

Abstract: A method of adjusting position of a member including an adjustable portion made of material having shape memory effect, comprising the steps of: (a) heat-treating for shape memory the member in a first shape such that the first shape is memorized in the adjustable portion; (b) plastically deforming the adjustable portion to a second shape after cooling the adjustable portion to less than a shape recovery temperature; and (c) locally heating the adjustable portion to more than the shape recovery temperature so as to subject the adjustable portion to local shape recovery.

Abstract: A cable connector for connecting cable conductors (6A) of a flat cable (6) to wire conductors (41A, 42A, 43A) of a plurality of external wires (41, 42, 43), respectively comprises a T-shaped wire mounting plate (30) formed with a plurality of U-shaped grooves (31, 32, 33) and with a pair of guide bridges (34, 35). The U-shaped grooves hold the external wires on a first surface thereof in such a way that the wire conductors of the external wires are arranged being bent at a right angle and further projected from one end surface of the wire mounting plate, respectively. A pair of the guide bridges (34, 35) hold the fiat cable on a second surface thereof opposite to the first surface thereof in such a way that the cable conductors of the flat cable are arranged being projected from the same end surface of the wire mounting plate side by side with the projecting wire conductors of the external wires.

Abstract: A magneto-optical recording/reproducing device which records information by irradiating a light beam of constant intensity on a magneto-optical recording medium while simultaneously applying a magnetic field thereon through a recording magnetic head; and which reproduces the recorded information through a reproducing magnetic head. The magneto-optical recording medium has a magnetic film formed on a translucent substrate and the magnetic field applied through the recording magnetic head reverses in response to the information to be recorded. The recording magnetic head and the reproducing magnetic head are integrally provided on a single magnetic core in order set their positions easily with respect to each other. By making a magnetic core end-face of the reproducing magnetic head smaller than a light beam spot, information recorded on areas smaller than the light beam spot can be reproduced.

Abstract: A magnetic storage device and a manufacturing method thereof, the magnetic storage device having grooves formed on a substrate, each of the grooves having a magnetic film formed therein. Since the magnetic head does not contact directly with the magnetic film, reliability of the magnetic disk increases. Moreover, the reproduced output of the magnetic head increases since the space between the magnetic head and the magnetic disk can be reduced. Accordingly, high-density recording becomes possible.
