  • Gasket for sealing a disk drive assembly
    Patent number: 5422766
    Abstract: An enclosure for a magnetic recording system comprises a baseplate, and a cover secured to the baseplate to form a housing. A rectangular groove is provided around the periphery of the baseplate and cover. Disposed within the cover and baseplate grooves is a gasket for sealing the cover/baseplate interface. The gasket is cross-shaped and comprises a relatively soft urethane material. The gasket is molded to fit the geometric shape of the cover and baseplate and forms a three-point seal for sealing the internal components of the disk drive from the ambient environment when the cover is secured to the baseplate.
