Filed:

Apr 27, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/300618

Inventors:

Robert N. Summers - La Habra CA

Assignee:

Magnecomp Corp. - Temecula CA

International Classification:

G11B 2116

US Classification:

3602445

Abstract:

Disk drive suspension including an actuator, a modified base mounting plate fixed to the actuator to support a load beam, flexure and slider assembly cantilevered from the actuator in operative association with a disk. The modified base mounting plate further individually mounts each load beam on an actuator for separate demounting of one without demounting of the other.

Assignee:

Magnecomp Corp. - Temecula CA

International Classification:

G11B 548
G11B 2116

US Classification:

360104

Abstract:

A disk drive suspension assembly in which the spacing of the slider in operative proximity to the disk is determined by the additive height of separate opposed dimples on the flexure and load beam, respectively, engaged in a common locus of engagement, the flexure having in addition a local deflection to offset the outer flexure portion carrying the dimple from the inner flexure portion.

Assignee:

Magnecomp Corp. - Temecula CA

International Classification:

G11B 542

US Classification:

2960306

Abstract:

Problems aligning a slider with a dimple in manufacture of head gimbal assemblies for disk drive suspensions are obviated by defining a series of optically readable indicia on or about the dimple that serve as a reference for positioning apparatus rather than the dimple.

Appl. No.:

6/737222

Inventors:

Jeffery Rosenthal - Brentwood CA
Victor Parker - Chatsworth CA
James Hoback - Valencia CA
Robert Summers - Freehold NJ

International Classification:

G09F 300

US Classification:

40308

Abstract:

A directory frame for receiving a directory card or the like for use on a shopping cart. A pair of frame members are mounted back-to-back on a shopping cart and are adapted to receive a store directory or product advertisement placard. A raised rim portion extends around the periphery of the frame members to position the directory cards, while tab sections in the directories align with and are inserted into slots in the frame members to affix the directory cards. There are apertures in each corner of the frame member for receiving the corners of a directory card. Insertion and removal of directory cards can be accomplished without the aid of hand tools.
