Abstract
A support for supporting an integrated head in a tape record/play device has two degrees of freedom for adjusting the head in orthoginal directions and includes stops for adjustably holding the head above a base plate. The support includes a carrier plate having a substantially flat leaf spring portion and a lateral end integral therewith for mounting the carrier plate in the support. The leaf spring portion provides a degree of freedom in one of the two directions. A substantially U-shaped spring has a fixed leg coplanar with and substantially normal to the leaf spring portion and a free leg for providing a degree of freedom in a second of the two directions. The integrated head is attached to the free leg whereby the head is independently adjustable in the orthogonal directions by flexing the leaf spring and the substantially U-shaped spring.
