ABSTRACT:
A head cleaner includes a generally flat, rectangular sheath 10 formed of flexible top and bottom walls 11 and 12 as is standard in floppy disk construction. The magnetic disk that would be within the sheath is replaced by a flat, absorbent member 17 which has an opening 18 such that it can be mounted on the hub of a disk drive. One of the walls of the sheath has an aperture 22 through which head 34 can extend and contact the absorbent member. A liquid solvent is applied in the aperture to the absorbent member to dissolve built up oxides on the head. The aperture is made wider than standard apertures for floppy disks, and there are additional apertures on other edges of the sheath for providing additional windows. Other windows may be through the other wall of the sheath such that there are eight total windows in the head cleaners. Therefore, the head cleaner can be inserted into the disk drive with any edge leading and with either wall on the head side of the drive.
