  • Patent number: 6115214
    Abstract: A snubber assembly for a disc drive having a plurality of rotatable discs and an actuator assembly supporting read/write heads for flying support above the data surfaces of the discs, the snubber assembly being positioned outboard to the outer perimeters of the discs in a disc clearing position when the disc drive is in the operational mode. The snubber assembly has a plurality of snubber members that nest the discs to limit the deflection of the discs when the snubber assembly is moved to a disc nesting position. A latch member secures the actuator assembly when the snubber assembly is moved to the disc nesting position. In the preferred embodiment, ramp members extend from the snubber members to lift the heads from the data surfaces when the snubber assembly is moved to the disc nesting position.
