Patent number: 4237518Abstract: A nonelectric magnetizer and demagnetizer in the form of three flexible permanent magnets, approximately crescent U shaped, each having only one same magnetic pole on its main curved in surface and the opposite magnetic poles on their main curved out surfaces, with two of the flexible permanent magnets pliably mounted on one backing, having their curved in surfaces angularly facing each other, and the other magnet mounted on a separate backing manually movable so that the three magnets can form an adjustable air gap from substantially all directions within which a workpiece can be inserted and withdrawn to be magnetized, and the curved outside of the single magnet capable of demagnetizing various workpieces.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1979Date of Patent: December 2, 1980Inventor: Lester S. Krulwich

Patent number: 4186364Abstract: A method of magnetizing an erasing head for small type tape recorders is disclosed. An erasing head having its opposite ends formed in at least one convex surface is disposed in a space formed between at least two opposed electromagnetic poles. That surface of the electromagnetic pole which is opposed to the convex surface of the erasing head is made concave which corresponds in curvature to the convex surface of the erasing head such that a tangential direction of a tape travelling movement is perpendicular to a direction of a magnetic flux of the erasing head. In addition, a center axis of the erasing head is mechanically aligned with a center axis common to both the opposite electromagnetic poles by means of a jig such that a widthwise direction of a tape is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic flux of the erasing head.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1978Date of Patent: January 29, 1980Assignee: Olympus Optical LimitedInventor: Naohiro Hanaoka

Patent number: 4177442Abstract: A permanent magnet orients magnetic particles on a tape in a desired direction along the tape length (or, by rotating the magnet structure, at any desired angle to the tape length) while the tape moves past the magnet's gap. The magnet's poles are asymmetric about a time drawn through the gap center and perpendicular to the medium to first present an unfocused low intensity magnetic field to the tape followed by a narrowly focused high intensity field in the opposite direction, which latter field aligns a large proportion of the particles along desired parallel lines. Antennae attached to the pole pieces dissipate any additional undesired fields which might adversely affect the particle alignment achieved by the high intensity field.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1977Date of Patent: December 4, 1979Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Geoffrey Bate, Larry P. Dunn

Patent number: 4167718Abstract: Disclosed is an improved dies set for magnetizing a cylindrical or columnar magnet adapted for use in an electrostatic developing apparatus of magnetic-brush developing type. The dies set is intended for imparting axially extending and circumferentially alternating magnetic poles to the periphery of the cylindrical columnar permanent magnet. The magnetizing dies set of the invention has a specific pattern of magnetic pole arrangement for rendering the distribution of magnetic attracting force, which is to be permanently applied to the peripheral surface of the columnar magnet in the magnetic developer, so that the attracting force becomes as uniform as possible, over the entire periphery of a shell surrounding the permanent magnet.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 1977Date of Patent: September 11, 1979Assignee: Hitachi Metals, Ltd.Inventors: Hideki Harada, Keitaro Yamashita, Katsunobu Yamamoto

Patent number: 4162470Abstract: A magnetizing apparatus for use in the static convergence of three in-line electron beams within a color television receiver cathode ray tube comprises two pluralities of windings. Each plurality is suitably arranged for positioning about a neck portion of the cathode ray tube in proximity to a magnetic material located adjacent to the neck. The windings are adapted to receive a magnetizing current for creating permanently magnetized regions within the magnetic material for producing a magnetic field within the cathode ray tube. The first plurality provides for like motion of the outer electron beams for which a first multiplicity of windings provides for like motion in a first direction and a second multiplicity provides for like motion in a direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1977Date of Patent: July 24, 1979Assignee: RCA CorporationInventor: Joseph L.

Patent number: 4159456Abstract: A cathode ray tube of a color television receiver includes a magnetic material located adjacent to a neck portion. A magnetizing apparatus is used for establishing the color purity of three in-line electron beams within the cathode ray tube. The magnetizing apparatus comprises at least two elongated conductor loops arranged for positioning about the neck in proximity to the magnetic material and capable of being energized by a magnetizing current for creating permanently magnetized regions within the material. The magnetized regions produce a color purity magnetic field within the cathode ray tube for establishing the color purity of the three in-line electron beams. An elongated portion of each of the conductor loops follows along a portion of the periphery of the neck.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1977Date of Patent: June 26, 1979Assignee: RCA CorporationInventor: Joseph L.
