  • Patent number: 7164559
    Abstract: A head actuator is made thinner without sacrificing its strength to thereby achieve the thinning of a hard disk apparatus. On the base end of each of two suspensions is provided a boss that protrudes in the direction of the side on which a magnetic head is provided, and a suspension fixing section having a hole into which the bosses are inserted is formed towards the tip of an arm. The boss of one of the suspensions is inserted into the hole from the upper end section thereof, and the boss of the other suspension is inserted into the hole from the lower end section thereof.

  • Patent number: 7082611
    Abstract: A rotor is provided which is rotatably disposed between a first shell and a recording medium, in a containing space formed inside the first shell and a second shell. The rotor includes a first wall formed along the circumferential direction of the rotor, and a part of the first wall is cut out to form a first opening. The second shell includes a second wall formed so as to overlap with the inside of the first wall along the outer circumference of the recording medium, on the outside in the radial direction of the outer circumference of the recording medium. The second wall and the first wall constitute a labyrinth structure portion for isolating the recording medium and the exterior of the recording medium from each other. With the rotor rotated, the first opening and a second opening constitute a head in/out opening.
