ABSTRACT:
Herein disclosed is a carriage driving mechanism for use with a floppy disc drive or the like to drive a carriage carrying a magnetic head so that the magnetic head may be driven to a desired track on the floppy disc to record or read out data in or from a floppy disc. The carriage driving mechanism comprises: a drive shaft having a helical guide groove in its outer circumference; a prime mover for turning the drive shaft; a guide shaft extending in parallel with the drive shaft; a carriage mounted slidably on the guide shaft; and a follower carried on the carriage and engaging with the guide groove of the drive shaft. A spring member is carried on the carriage to mount the follower thereon so that the follower may have its tip guided elastically by the guide groove of the drive shaft.
