Fig. 8 be when carrying out simplex copying be adjacent to device 20 ' synoptic diagram, this be adjacent to device 20 ', has the downside master carrier 3 that duplicates information such as servosignal at the downside record surface of subordinate medium 2, has contact resilient body 21 (fender) at the upside record surface of subordinate medium 2, having absorption keeps the downside with rectification flatness of above-mentioned downside master carrier 3 to correct the downside welded part 18 of parts 16, has the upside welded part 19 that keeps above-mentioned elastic body 21, crimping under the consistent state is adjusted in their center, and the one side that makes subordinate medium 2 is that the opposing face and the elastic body 21 of master carrier 3 contacts is adjacent to.Just, upside master carrier 4 changes to elastic body 21 in the above-described embodiments, corrects 17 1 of the parts except upside is not set, and is same formation.
Elastic body 21 is to make discoidly with the material of flexible characteristic, is kept by upside welded part 19.The material of elastic body 21 has when applying when being adjacent to pressure and is out of shape along with the surface configuration of subordinate medium 2, returns to the characteristic of the surface state before exerting pressure when master carrier 3 is peeled off subordinate medium 2.As the concrete material of elastic body 21, can use silicon rubber, urethane rubber, fluororubber, butadiene rubber, teflon rubber, Kynoar-general rubber such as fluorine acrylic rubber, or Foamex such as foamed rubber etc.The shape of elastic body 21 and the surface of contact of subordinate medium 2, the flat shape parallel with master carrier 3, or form the shape of projection in subordinate medium 2 sides.
Present embodiment be adjacent to device 20 ', for the subordinate medium 2 by 3 pairs of plural numbers of a downside master carrier carries out magnetic duplication in turn, at first adjust consistent vacuum suction master carrier 3 and keep its state with the center that downside is corrected the adsorption plane 6a of parts 6.Then, the state of opening that separates with downside welded part 18 at upside welded part 19, with subordinate medium 2 and center adjust consistent after, make upside welded part 19 and downside welded part 18 master carrier 3 is adjacent near the signature power of the one side that closes at subordinate medium 2 by elastic body 11.Afterwards, with above-mentioned make equally be adjacent to device 20 ' the power-on and power-off magnet arrangement 5 of top and bottom approaching, make and be adjacent to that device 20 ' continuously rotation applies to duplicate by electromagnet apparatus 5 and uses magnetic field, the Copy Info of downside master carrier 3 is magnetically recorded the one side of subordinate medium 2.Afterwards, in another operation the another side of subordinate medium 2 and upside master carrier 4 are adjacent to and similarly carry out magnetic duplication.
In addition, at the foregoing description, as shown in Figure 6, floppy disk has many overlapping initial magnetizations that carry out together under the state that coils core 2b, as shown in Figure 9, after the floppy disk punching and shaping was shaped, piling up at storage rack 37 had under many state, such as with 60 thick overlapping 100 states of disk, it is good to carry out initial magnetization before mounting center nuclear.At the central part of storage rack 37, store subordinate medium 2 and be provided with the pin 38 of allocation really that matches with the medium pore of subordinate medium 2 in order to pile up.When carrying out initial magnetization, the lid 36 that matches with this storage rack 37 forms one, and is same with above-mentioned subordinate stationary installation 10, is set to electromagnet apparatus 5.Applying initial D.C. magnetic field by electromagnet apparatus 5, serves as that axle forms to be driven in rotation integratedly and finishes initial magnetization with the center (pin 38) of magnetic track.With compared originally be sent to subsequent processing because floppy disk is deposited under the state of storage rack 37 after punching and shaping is shaped, just can simplify working process as long as each storage rack is carried out initial magnetization.In addition, owing to do not coil core, just can overlapping more disk, the efficient height.In addition,, become difficult when overlapping disk is separated from each other, therefore set the surface smoothness Ra>1.5nm of each disk owing to do not coil core.
In addition, enumerate the floppy disk that has illustrated as subordinate medium 2 in the above, the subordinate medium also can be the disk (hard disk) that hard disk unit has.
