Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] In a data recorder equipped with a magnetic tape for data recording, reliable reading and writing of data is prevented by preventing occurrence of data reading and writing failure due to dirt on the magnetic head of the magnetic recording and reproducing mechanism. .. [Structure] A head cleaning tape (4) for removing dirt on a magnetic head (5) of a magnetic recording / reproducing mechanism is provided continuously with a magnetic tape (3) for data recording.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a data recording tool such as a bankbook or a card of a financial institution equipped with a magnetic tape (MS tape) capable of reading and writing data with a financial terminal device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, a passbook or a card of a financial institution is attached with a magnetic tape (MS tape) 12 for writing data on the cover of the passbook or one side of the card 11.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the magnetic head 13 of the magnetic recording / reproducing mechanism of the financial terminal slides on the surface of the magnetic tape 12 from one end to the other end and is recorded on the magnetic tape 12. Data is read and data is written on the magnetic tape 12.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, as described above, when the magnetic head 13 repeatedly reads and writes data from the passbook or the magnetic tape of the card 11, there is a problem that the surface of the magnetic head 13 is contaminated and read / write failure is likely to occur.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a card or passbook of a financial institution that does not cause data read / write failure due to dirt on the magnetic head of the magnetic recording / reproducing mechanism even when used repeatedly. , The purpose is to provide a data recording device for reading and writing data by magnetic tape.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the data recording device of the present invention is a data recording device such as a card or a booklet to which a magnetic tape is attached which can read and write data by a magnetic recording and reproducing mechanism of various computer terminal devices. A head cleaning tape that removes dirt on the magnetic head of the mechanism is provided continuously to the magnetic tape.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the data recording tool having the above structure, the head cleaning tape provided continuously with the magnetic tape after the magnetic head slides on the magnetic tape to read / write data or before reading / writing data. The magnetic head slides on the top.

As a result, the magnetic head can be cleaned by the head cleaning tape after or before or after reading or writing data, and data can be read or written with the magnetic head always clean. Therefore, it is possible to always read and write data reliably without causing data reading and writing defects due to dirt on the magnetic head.

[0009]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show a bankbook of a financial institution according to an embodiment of the present invention. A magnetic tape 3 (MS tape) for data recording is attached to the front side of the cover 2 of the passbook 1, and a head cleaning tape 4 is attached continuously to the end of the magnetic tape 3. I am doing it.

This passbook is used to read data from the magnetic tape 3 or write data to the magnetic tape 3 by a magnetic head of a magnetic recording / reproducing mechanism of a financial terminal, as in a normal passbook.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the magnetic head 5 of the magnetic recording / reproducing mechanism of the financial terminal slides on the magnetic tape 3 to 5a in the drawing to read / write data. Then, the magnetic head 5 slides on a head cleaning tape which is continuously provided at the end of the magnetic tape 3 up to 5b in the figure to remove the dirt on the surface of the magnetic head 5 and perform a data read / write operation. Ends.

Therefore, according to this passbook 1, the magnetic head 5 can be automatically cleaned by the head cleaning tape 4 each time data is read or written, and even if data reading or writing is repeated, When reading or writing data, the surface of the magnetic head 5 is always kept clean, and the reading and writing of data due to contamination of the magnetic head does not occur.

Although the passbook according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the data recording tool of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the cleaning tape 4 is provided continuously to the end portion of the magnetic tape 3, but it is provided continuously to the front end portion of the magnetic tape 3 and the magnetic tape is read before reading / writing data. The head may be cleaned. Further, the present invention is not limited to a passbook, but can be applied to any device having a magnetic tape for reading and writing data such as a card of a financial institution, which does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. As long as it is possible, its configuration, usage, etc. can be appropriately selected.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the data recording device of the present invention, the cleaning of the magnetic head can be automatically performed after the magnetic head of the magnetic recording / reproducing mechanism reads or writes data. . Therefore, even if the data is read and written repeatedly, the surface of the magnetic head is always kept clean during the next data read and write, and the data read and write failure due to the dirt of the magnetic head does not occur.
