Tape Assemblies Having Flangeless Reel Configurations and Single Flange Reel Configurations For Magnetic Recording Devices - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17824745 titled 'Tape Assemblies Having Flangeless Reel Configurations and Single Flange Reel Configurations For Magnetic Recording Devices

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a tape assembly implementation for magnetic recording devices, specifically tape embedded drives (TEDs).

  • The implementation involves mounting a first reel and a second reel at stationary positions.
  • The first and/or second reel includes a hub mounted to a spindle and a single flange extending relative to the hub.
  • Alternatively, the first and/or second reel may have a flangeless hub mounted to a spindle.
  • The purpose of this implementation is to provide a simplified and efficient design for tape assembly in magnetic recording devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure generally relate to tape assembly implementations for magnetic recording devices, such as tape embedded drives (TEDs). In one or more embodiments, a first reel and a second reel are mounted at stationary positions. One or more of the first reel and/or the second reel includes a hub mounted to a spindle, and a single flange extending relative to the hub. In one or more embodiments, one or more of a first reel and/or a second reel each includes a flangeless hub mounted to a spindle.
