Abstract
A rotary magnetic head device for use with a magnetic recording an/or reproducing apparatus, such as a digital audio tape recorder (DAT) or a video tape recorder (VTR), includes a chassis, a fixed shaft secured to the chassis and a drum unit consisting of an upper drum fixed to the upper end of the fixed shaft and a lower rotary drum rotatably mounted by means of a bearing device on the fixed shaft between the upper drum and the chassis. A rotary transformer consisting of an upper fixed core and a lower rotary core is disposed in a recess formed in the lower side of the fixed upper core. The lower core is attached to the lower rotary drum and carries a head attachment plate carrying in turn a magnetic head. The magnetic tape is wrapped about the drum unit over a prescribed wrapping angle. As the lower drum is rotated by an associated driving device, signals may be recorded on or reproduced from the magnetic tape by the magnetic head kept in frictional contact with the running tape.
