ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording/reproducing device including a top cover having a plurality of leg portions 1e with cutouts that project from each side face of the top cover such that the location of a leg portion at one side face does not correspond to the location of a leg portion at the other side face; and a bottom cover having a plurality of retaining portions 2e in correspondence with the leg portions 1e at each side face of the lower cover formed by bending portions of the side faces. The top cover and the bottom cover are integrally engaged together by fitting the retaining portions into the cutouts of their corresponding leg portions. A plurality of top covers are successively press-cut from a metal plate such that a leg portion of a particular top cover is positioned between the leg portions of another top cover that is adjacent to the particular top cover, thus reducing the amount of scraps produced from the metal plate. Accordingly, the invention makes it possible to produce a magnetic recording/reproducing device at a lower cost.
