Abstract

A rotary transformer is employed in a 4-head type recording and/or reproducing apparatus which has a rotary body which is wrapped with a magnetic tape, and four heads mounted 90.degree. apart from each other on the rotary body for recording and/or reproducing a video signal onto and/or from the tape. The rotary transformer device comprises a rotary core which has five circular grooves formed in one surface thereof and is rotated unitarily with the rotary body, a first short-circuiting ring embedded in a center groove among the five grooves of the rotary body, first through fourth ring-shaped coils embedded in the remaining four grooves of the rotary body, a stationary core which is stationary at a location separated from and opposing the rotary core and has five circular grooves, a second short-circuiting ring embedded in a center groove among the five grooves of the stationary core, and fifth through eighth ring-shaped coils embedded in the remaining four grooves of the stationary core. The first and second ring-shaped coils which are located on one side with respect to the first short-circuiting ring, are coupled to one pair of mutually opposing heads among the four heads. The th…
