Application No. 08/417,505
minimize the deviations in the adjustment of the magnetic head
position caused by stresses on the head support. The head
support is mounted in the housing and the housing is
independently secured to the head disc. The head support is
not attached directly to the head disc and this allows the
housing and the head support to be secured in separate
operations, allowing adjustment of the head support without
affecting the securing of the housing to the head disc.
Independent claim 19 is reproduced as follows:
19. A magnetic head disc device, comprising:
a magnetic head disc;
a magnetic head;
a magnetic head support carrying the magnetic head;
a housing for receiving the magnetic head support, said
housing being mounted between said head disc and said magnetic
head support;
first securing means for securing the magnetic head
support only to said housing; and
second securing means, independent of said first securing
means, for securing said housing to said head disc independent
of said first securing means and without contacting said head
support such that (i) said housing is first secured to said
head disc with said second securing means and (ii) said head
support is secured to said housing with said first securing
means and adjustable relative to said housing without effecting
the securing of the housing to the head disc.
