  • Downstream finned stripper shroud airstream conditioning apparatus for a disc drive
    Patent number: 7054103
    Abstract: An airstream conditioning apparatus for a data storage device employing a spinning data storage disc and an actuator operatively interfacing in a data reading and writing relationship. The apparatus comprises an airstream stripper downstream of the actuator with respect to the direction of air currents generated by the spinning discs. The airstream stripper comprises a vane extending substantially radially from an outer radial portion to an inner radial portion of the data storage disc and adjacent the data storage surface. The vane is disposed substantially transverse to the actuator distal end along the radial path of actuator travel across the data disc.
