TOOL FOR USE IN REMOVING HEAD
A tool is designed to be attached to an actuator having a rotary fulcrum and heads on a tip end opposite to the rotary fulcrum. The tool includes a finger inserted between a first pair of mutually adjacent suspensions which are provided with heads having mutually opposing scanning surfaces, and a partitioning plate inserted between a second pair of mutually adjacent suspensions which are provided with heads having mutually opposing back surfaces that are on opposite ends from the scanning surfaces.
1 . A tool to be attached to an actuator having a rotary fulcrum and heads on a tip end opposite to the rotary fulcrum, said tool comprising:
a finger configured to be inserted between a first pair of mutually adjacent suspensions which are provided with heads having mutually opposing scanning surfaces; and
a partitioning plate configured to be inserted between a second pair of mutually adjacent suspensions which are provided with heads having mutually opposing back surfaces that are on opposite ends from the scanning surfaces.
2 . The tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the finger is inserted at a position between the rotary fulcrum of the actuator and the heads along a longitudinal direction of the actuator; and
the partitioning plate is inserted at tip ends of the actuator.
3 . The tool as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a positioning shaft; and
a head fixing arm having a base part connected to the positioning shaft and a tip end connected to the finger and the partitioning plate,
wherein the finger is inserted between the first pair of the mutually adjacent suspensions and the partitioning plate is inserted between the second pair of the mutually adjacent suspensions when the tool is turned with respect to the actuator in a state where the positioning shaft is inserted into a head clip insertion hole that is provided in the actuator.
4 . The tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the finger and the partitioning plate have shapes such that the finger is first inserted between the first pair of the mutually adjacent suspensions and the partitioning plate is thereafter inserted between the second pair of the mutually adjacent suspensions when the tool is turned with respect to the actuator.
5 . The tool as claimed in claim 3 , wherein:
a part of the finger that is first inserted between the first pair of the mutually adjacent suspensions when the tool is turned with respect to the actuator has a tapered shape; and
a part of the partition that is first inserted between the second pair of the mutually adjacent suspensions when the tool is turned with respect to the actuator has a tapered shape.
6 . The tool as claimed in claim 4 , wherein:
a part of the finger that is first inserted between the first pair of the mutually adjacent suspensions when the tool is turned with respect to the actuator has a tapered shape; and
a part of the partition that is first inserted between the second pair of the mutually adjacent suspensions when the tool is turned with respect to the actuator has a tapered shape.
7 . The tool as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising:
a transparent plate provided on the head fixing arm and extending along a direction which the head fixing arm extends from the positioning shaft,
wherein the partitioning plate is provided on the transparent plate.
8 . The tool as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising:
a transparent plate provided on the head fixing arm and extending along a direction which the head fixing arm extends from the positioning shaft,
wherein the partitioning plate is provided on the transparent plate.
9 . The tool as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising:
a transparent plate provided on the head fixing arm and extending along a direction which the head fixing arm extends from the positioning shaft,
wherein the partitioning plate is provided on the transparent plate.
10 . The tool as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising:
a transparent plate provided on the head fixing arm and extending along a direction which the head fixing arm extends from the positioning shaft,
wherein the partitioning plate is provided on the transparent plate.
11 . The tool as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising:
a cover extending in a direction approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the actuator in a state where the tool is attached to the actuator, and configured to protect the tip end of the actuator.
12 . The tool as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising:
a cover extending in a direction approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the actuator in a state where the tool is attached to the actuator, and configured to protect the tip end of the actuator.
13 . The tool as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising:
a cover extending in a direction approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the actuator in a state where the tool is attached to the actuator, and configured to protect the tip end of the actuator.
14 . The tool as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:
a cover extending in a direction approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the actuator in a state where the tool is attached to the actuator, and configured to protect the tip end of the actuator.
15 . The tool as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising:
a cover extending in a direction approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the actuator in a state where the tool is attached to the actuator, and configured to protect the tip end of the actuator.
16 . The tool as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:
a plurality of said fingers: and a plurality of said partitioning plates.
17 . The tool as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a tapered blade configured to be inserted between a head part and the actuator, when removing from the actuator the head part comprising a single suspension and a single head provided on said single suspension.
