Abstract:
1. A magnetic information medium recording/reproducing device comprising: a drum whose outer peripheral face forms a medium feeding path for a magnetic information medium and which is turnably supported on a frame, the drum being formed in a hollow cylindrical shape having an inner peripheral wall; a feeding mechanism which is disposed on the frame so as to face the outer peripheral face of the drum for carrying the magnetic information medium along the outer peripheral face of the drum while pressing the magnetic information medium against the outer peripheral face of the drum; a driving part which drives the feeding mechanism; a magnetic head which is disposed at a position which is capable of facing a magnetic recording part of the magnetic information medium; an outer roller which is disposed on an outer peripheral side of the drum and receives an urging force of the urged inner support roller; and a pad roller which presses the magnetic recording part of the magnetic information medium to the magnetic head; and a plurality of inner support rollers which are disposed for supporting the drum from the inner peripheral wall side of the drum; wherein the drum is held by the inner support rollers and the feeding mechanism, and one of the inner support rollers is disposed near the magnetic head and is urged against the inner peripheral wall of the drum as an urged inner support roller; and wherein the urged inner support roller and the outer roller, and the magnetic head and the pad roller are respectively disposed side by side in a width direction of the magnetic information medium.
