Abstract
A magnetic head assembly including a carriage carrying a first magnetic head for recording information on, and reproducing it from, one side of a magnetic recording medium in the form of a disk, and a holding case connected to the carriage rotatably by a leaf spring and carrying a second magnetic head disposed opposite the first magnetic head for recording information on, and reproducing it from, the opposite side of the medium. The first magnetic head is supported on the carriage by a gimbal spring supported on a pivot, while the second magnetic head is secured to the holding case. The pivot is supported by a nonelastic member provided in the carriage. The gimbal spring has an outer portion at which it is attached to the carriage, and an inner portion projecting from its outer portion toward the holding case. The pivot contacts the inner portion of the gimbal spring.
