ABSTRACT:
A head cleaning device for a floppy disc drive includes a cleaning sheet within a cartridge, the cleaning sheet being rotatable in the cartridge. At least two spaced openings are provided in the cartridge, one of the spaced openings being an opening for a read/write head of the floppy disc drive. A shutter is moveably mounted on the cartridge between an open position and a closed position, the shutter being in its closed position closing the spaced openings to thereby isolate the cleaning sheet within the cartridge and thereby protecting the cleaning sheet from dust and dirt. The shutter in its open position exposes spaced portions of the cleaning sheet juxtaposed to the spaced openings to enable application of a cleaning fluid to the spaced portions of the cleaning sheet and to provide for cleaning the read/write head when the cleaning sheet is inserted in the floppy disc drive, the cleaning fluid on the spaced portions of the cleaning sheet effecting cleaning of the read/write head by alternately washing and wiping the read/write head as the cleaning disc rotates past the read/write head.
