Oscillation preventing member for stylus-tip protector and pickup cartridge
An oscillation-preventing member for a stylus-tip protector is provided with a base member and a pair of leg parts integrally formed by employing a flexible sheet material. The pair of leg parts is bent at the same angle and in the same direction with respect to the base member. This oscillation-preventing member is mounted on a cartridge body, sandwiching a cartridge case from both outer sides with the pair of leg parts to prevent oscillation of a stylus-tip protector by bringing the base member into contact with part of the stylus-tip protector. This structure allows to provide an oscillation-preventing member for a stylus-tip protector, being attached/detached easily, manufactured at low costs, and configured to reliably prevent oscillation of a stylus-tip protector according to an impact.
1. An oscillation-preventing member for a stylus-tip protector, comprising:
a base member; and
a pair of leg parts integrally formed with the base member by employing a flexible sheet material, the pair of leg parts having a width in the same direction and being bent at the same angle in the same direction with respect to the base member,
wherein the oscillation preventing member is mounted on a pickup cartridge, sandwiching the pickup cartridge from both outer sides by the pair of leg parts, and
wherein the oscillation-preventing member is configured to prevent oscillation of a stylus-tip protector by bringing the base member into contact with part of the stylus-tip protector covering a reproducing stylus.
2. The oscillation preventing member for a stylus-tip protector according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the pair of leg parts is formed with a locking part disposed in a leading end of one of the pair of leg parts, facing the other leg part,
wherein the locking part is locked in a surface perpendicular to the both outer sides of the pickup cartridge so that the oscillation preventing member is kept mounting on the pickup cartridge.
3. The oscillation preventing member for a stylus-tip protector according to claim 1 ,
wherein the base member is provided with a protrusion formed along a surface of the base member, disposed between the pair of leg parts,
wherein the protrusion is brought into contact with part of a cartridge case to keep the pair of leg parts and the base member bending.
4. The oscillation preventing member for a stylus-tip protector according to claim 3 ,
wherein slits are formed by cutting the base member so as to extend along both longitudinal sides of the protrusion formed along the surface of the base member.
5. A pickup cartridge which is equipped with the oscillation-preventing member for a stylus-tip protector described in claim 1 .
