摘要:
A method of manufacturing a flexible recording disk with a reinforced aperture region comprising the steps of transferring uncured polymeric material to a printing plate having an elastomeric protrusion thereon, transferring at least a portion of the uncured polymeric material from the elastomeric protrusion to a region on a surface on a flexible magnetic material, curing the polymeric material, and cutting a flexible disk from the flexible magnetic material such that the disk has a central aperture surrounded by the region of the flexible material coated with the cured polymeric material.
摘要:
A cleaning disk assembly (10) for cleaning reading and writing transducers of a floppy disk drive is described. The cleaning disk assembly comprises an envelope (14) having an aperture (22) formed therethrough for receiving reading and writing transducers and a reinforced opening along one edge (26) for insertion of a cleaning disk (12). In use, a cleaning disk (12) which may be presoaked with a cleaning solution, is inserted into the envelope (14) to form the cleaning assembly which is then inserted into a floppy disk drive. A spindle within the drive passes through central apertures (20 and 40) formed in the envelope and the disk to engage the disk and rotate it within the envelope. The envelope and cleaning disk include sensing apertures (24 and 42) to permit optical sensing of disk rotation by the drive. An opaque, preferably C-shaped region (46) printed on the cleaning disk within an annular region about the central aperture of the disk which includes the sensing aperture (42) facilitates sensing.
