Title: Tape head cleaning device

Abstract: A magnetic tape head cleaning pad is mounted on the exterior of a somewhat C-shaped resilient member which is snap-fitted on one end of an elongate mounting member which at its other end is pivotally connected to one end of an elongate handle member. To secure the mounting member to the handle member in any chosen one of a number of available relative orientations, one of these members is formed with a part-ring of teeth, like part of a spur gear wheel, and the other member carries a detent member which slides transversely with respect to said member, parallel to the axis of the part ring of teeth, a projection on it lying between two adjacent teeth or not, depending on the position of the detent member.
