Application 08/161,869
including all of the limitations of the base claim and any
intervening claims (Answer, pages 1, 2, 13 and 14).
Accordingly, claims 12 through 14, 16 through 18 and 24
through 27 remain before us on appeal.
The disclosed invention relates to a magnetic head
assembly, and to a method for manufacturing the same. The
magnetic head has a die-molded rotatable head base formed from
a conductive resin material. An outer surface of the head
base defines a housing envelope for a head chip buried
therein.
Claim 12 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it
reads as follows:
12. A magnetic head comprising:
a die-molded rotatable head base formed from a conductive
resin material and presenting an outer surface defining a
housing envelope formed in said head base, said head base
having an aperture therethrough generally defining an axis of
rotation thereof; and
a head chip comprising a magnetic substance and having at
least a portion thereof buried within said housing envelope so
that said magnetic substance is in contact with said outer
surface defining said housing envelope in a manner which
secures said head chip to said head base, said housing
envelope formed in said head base defining a relative position
of said head chip with respect to said axis of rotation of
said head base.
