Leaf spring is fixed at one end thereto to a carriage, and extended at a predetermined angle to the carriage. A part of the leaf spring has rigidity. A gimbal spring, which free from the carriage, is mounted on the rigid portion. Head is fixed to the gimbal spring. The head can move perpendicularly to the carriage by the operation of the leaf spring, and can roll and pitch by the operation of the gimbal spring. Thus, the head can follow to move elevationally upward and downward and incline to the disk-like recording medium and contact the medium with good contacting property.
