Abstract: A magnetic tape sensing head cleaner disclosed has a hollow housing including a pair of housing members that are selectively latchable to each other in a closed position and releasable therefrom to permit replacement of a cleaning loop received by a track within the housing. Latching portions formed integrally with the housing members during plastic molding thereof cooperate in pairs to provide wedging latches that secure the housing members to each other in the closed position and permit repeated separation thereof for replacement of the cleaning loop. The track that receives the cleaning loop is preferably located within a cleaning loop compartment at one end of the housing and includes a drive roller, a pressure pad, and a guide loop around which the cleaning loop is driven. Adjacent another end of the housing, a storage compartment is defined for a cleaning brush, a cleaning probe, cleaning probe tips, and a cleaning fluid bottle.

Abstract: A drive belt repair kit which forms a continuous winding of tension cord and adhesive when applied to a pair of pulleys. The tension cord is wound, in use, about the two pulleys to form a multi-layer belt of desired length and tension. The tension cord and adhesive may be initially stored as a repair kit in a container fastened to a leader cord. The leader cord, in use, is initially fastened about the pair of pulleys to be belted. Rotation of the pulleys pulls the tension cord and adhesive about the pulleys to form a multi-layer belt.
