Abstract:
A magnetic tape recorder/player including several magnetic heads (30-45; T.sub.1, T.sub.2) driven in a rotational movement at the periphery of an equatorial slot (4) of a cylindrical head (1) on the surface of which runs a tape (7) wound helicoidally and a capacitive coupling device (20), said device transmits electrical signals between a part rotating around an axis connected to the heads and forming a rotor and a fixed part forming a stator, said device (20) including at least one coupling component (47-54, 73-80; 204; 220) including a mobile element (47a-54a, 73a-80a; 206; 222; 230; 232) and a fixed element (47b-54b, 73b-80b) connected respectively to the rotor and to the stator, characterized in that the mobile and fixed elements of the coupling are made in the form of rings and/or segments of rings called coupling, respectively arranged in two mutually parallel planes (P.sub.1, P.sub.2) and perpendicular to said axis of rotation of the rotor, the mobile and fixed elements of each coupling component being arranged facing each other.
