directed to low profile head suspension assemblies.
Independent claim 2 is reproduced as follows:
2. A rotary voice coil actuator assembly for a high
capacity disk drive comprising:
an E-block, said E-block comprising at least one short
tine;
at least two rigid and substantially flat elongated tine
extenders having a height less than substantially 0.300
millimeters fastened at one end to said at least one short
tine in a first attachment region;
at least two peg-leg load beams attached to said at least
two tine extenders in a second attachment region of said at
least two rigid elongated tine extenders, each of said at
least two peg-leg load beams having a height substantially
less than said at least two elongated tine extenders, said
peg-leg load beams having at least two tabs formed integrally
thereon and each peg-leg load beam being defined by a
curvilinear portion extending from one end of each peg-leg
load beam, said curvilinear portion being further defined by a
curved edge and a substantially straight edge and includes at
least two marginal tabs defined along said substantially
straight edge;
at least two data transducer head sliders affixed to a
head extension formed on the other end of each of said at
least two peg-leg load beams, opposite the curvilinear
portion, and including plural electrical connections to a data
transducer head located thereon; and
at least two head conductor wires, each of said at least
two head conductor wires connected to said plural electrical
