  • Patent number: 7911776
    Abstract: A disk device includes a disk unit housing a disk-shaped storage medium, a case holding the disk unit, a bracket holding the case, and a guide member guiding sliding movement of the case in and out from the bracket. The disk device also includes spring members on one of the bracket and the case, distributed in the direction of the relative movement. Each of the spring members extends longitudinally in the direction of the movement. Distal ends of the spring members face and press against the other of the bracket and the case. Base portions of the spring members are integral with the one of the bracket and the case. The spring members inhibit lateral vibration of the case by pressing against small projections on the case. Other spring members inhibit vertical vibration of the case by pressing against sliding support rails of the case. A face plate of the case absorbs vibration in the longitudinal direction.
