Patent attributes
A head drum assembly for a tape recorder includes a stationary drum fixed on a main base of a deck and having a through-hole formed in the bottom thereof, and a rotary drum having a magnetic head and rotatably installed on the stationary drum by a rotation shaft. A flexible printed circuit is electrically connected to rotary transformers respectively installed in the rotary drum and the stationary drum, for transmitting an information signal read by the magnetic head to a main printed circuit board (PCB). A first connector is coupled to an end of the flexible printed circuit for electrically connecting the flexible printed circuit to the main PCB. The flexible printed circuit is drawn out directly downward via the through-hole so that the first connector is electrically connected to a second connector mounted to the main PCB.
