DISK DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240321292 titled 'DISK DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a disk device with a unique ramp mechanism that securely holds the magnetic head in place during operation.
- The disk device includes a magnetic disk, magnetic head, suspension, ramp mechanism, housing, and screw.
- The suspension moves the magnetic head between load and unload positions.
- The ramp mechanism consists of a ramp member and a cylindrical member with a through hole.
- The housing supports the cylindrical member with a screw hole on a first support surface.
- The screw, with a screw head and shaft, holds the cylindrical member in place between the screw head and the housing.
- The contact area between the cylindrical member and the housing is larger than the contact area between the cylindrical member and the screw head.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Unique ramp mechanism design for securely holding the magnetic head in place.
- Efficient movement of the suspension between load and unload positions.
- Secure attachment of the cylindrical member to the housing using a screw.
- Optimal contact areas to ensure stability during operation.
