Abstract
A recording head for a magnetic printer utilizes a so-called magnetography, in which a magnetic latent image formed on a magnetic recording medium is developed and actualized by a magnetic toner and which image is transferred and fixed on a sheet of recording paper to provide a hard copy. The recording head for a magnetic printer includes a first thermal head member, second thermal head member juxtaposed with the first thermal head member with a space therebetween, and a magnetic head member arranged on the first and the second thermal head members. A magnetic gap of the magnetic head member extends immediately above the space between the first and the second thermal head members linearly in the same direction. By this structure, a recording head for a magnetic printer which has simple structure and allows formation of a magnetic latent image having clear boundary between opposite magnetic polarities on a magnetic recording medium, is provided.
