ABSTRACT:
Device for cleaning heads of disc drive units. The device comprises a substantially round member having dimensions which allow insertion of the device into the receiving area of a disc drive unit. The member has a central elongated aperture which permits reciprocating movement of the member when fully inserted in the receiving area of the disc drive unit. The cleaning device may also have notches on its outer periphery for clearing internal projections of the disc drive. A cleaning surface, preferably comprising a removable, self adhesive strip of a fibrous material, is attached to at least one surface of the member. A shield is present on the same surface of the member as the cleaning strip for protecting the cleaning strip from damage upon entry or release of the cleaning device from the receiving area of the disc drive unit.
