Patent ID: 7872832

Claim:
A magnetic head device comprising: a slider having a magnetic element for at least one of recording and reproducing; and a flexure supporting the slider, the flexure comprising a tongue segment which is formed by partially cutting out the flexure, wherein the slider has a hexahedral structure, one of the side surfaces of the hexahedron defining an electrode surface provided with an electrode unit, said two of the side surfaces of the hexahedron that are adjacent to the electrode surface are provided with recesses, and the slider is placed with a back surface of the slider on the tongue segment, the back surface of the slider being located on the opposite side of a surface facing a recording medium, wherein locking segments are formed disposed in the tongue segment, the locking segments being integrated with the tongue segment and extending from the tongue segment toward directions of the side surfaces of the slider, wherein a tip of each locking segment is bent to form an acute angle hook portion, the tip of the hook portion being directed toward the tongue segment and contacting on an under surface of each corresponding recesses of the slider which is located in the back surface side of the slider, and wherein a force component of a force applied from the tip of each hook portion presses the under surface of each corresponding recess of the slider which is located in the back surface side of the slider towards the tongue segment, a surface of the tongue segment being the slider fixed face, so that back surface of the slider is fixed on the tongue segment and that a position of the two side surfaces of the slider on the tongue segment is regulated.
