APPAREIL DE MEMOIRE A DISQUE MAGNETIQUE FLEXIBLE

Mémoire à disque magnétique flexible pour enregistrement de données à haute densité. Le disque flexible Il tourne à proximité d'une plaque 10 munie d'une gorge radiale 20 dans laquelle se déplace le transducteur 12. L'effet de Bernoulli créé par la rotation, provoque la déformation du disque au-dessus de la gorge, et son survol de transducteur à une faible distance constante. Des surfaces profilées 32 et 33 assurent la formation de coussins d'air qui contribuent au maintien de ladite distance constante. Mémoire utilisable notamment dans les ensembles de traitement de données. Improved magnetic recording apparatus having a rotating flexible registration disc disposed on a flat plate, characterized in that: said flat plate has an elongated throat that opens into said flexible recording disk and has a substantial radial length; a transducer disposed movably to perform radial displacements in said throat; to perform transduction operations with respect to said flexible registration disk; and downward traction means having pneumatic upstream and downstream pneumatic support means, extending from said flat plate towards said flexible recording memory disk and disposed respectively along said throat, opposite sides thereof, for communicating a pulling force downwardly on said flexible recording disk, towards said transducer.
