ABSTRACT:
A cleaning device for magnetic tape heads comprises a mylar tape on which is deposited a layer of a low-tack adhesive. A dacron fabric is bonded to the mylar tape by the adhesive layer. This dacron tape acts as a mechanical cleaning surface when it is moved across the contact surface of the tape head. The adhesive layer operates both to secure individual strands of the fabric rigidly in place so as to support the strands properly when they are in contact with the tape head, and also to capture and control the movement of magnetic particles dislodged from the tape head by the strands of the fabric. Alternate embodiments provide ridges for defining a pattern of raised projections extending away from an underlying base.
