ABSTRACT:
In a head carriage device, a carriage has a first head at a first end thereof. The carriage extends approximately in a disc radial direction, in which a recording-medium disc is loaded in an associated disc apparatus. The carriage has at least one pillar portion at a second end thereof. The pillar portion extends in a direction approximately perpendicular to the disc radial direction. A head arm has a second head at a first end thereof. Both the first head and the second head are used for jointly accessing both sides of the recording-medium disc. A supporting member has a mechanically flexible property. A first end thereof is fixed on a top of the pillar portion and a second end thereof is fixed on a pivotal supported portion of the head arm. The pivotal supported portion of the head arm is apart from a second end of the head arm. The supporting member flexibly supports the head arm so that the head arm extends approximately along the disc radial direction. The applying force means is provided within the pillar portion and between the second end of the carriage and the second end of the head arm. The applying force means applies a force on the respective second ends of the carriage and head arm in a direction that the applied force moves the head arm apart from the carriage.
