Abstract:
An apparatus for increasing the operative force on an air vane latch apparatus in a disc drive includes an air gate having an elongated rib extending parallel to the air vane immediately downstream of the air vane for reducing pressure behind the air vane during disc drive operation to reduce the disc speed at which the latch apparatus moves from a latched position to an unlatched position. The air gate is preferably a rib extending along an underside surface of the head disc assembly cover positioned parallel to the air vane and immediately downstream.

Abstract:
The performance of a leaf spring disc clamp can be enhanced by utilizing a roughly triangular shape for the center aperture. Such a disc clamp exhibits a substantially more uniform distribution of clamping force on the data disc and thereby reduces the deformation of the disc. It has further been determined that a stiffening rib located adjacent to the rim portion which contacts the data disc also leads to more uniform distribution of clamping force. Lastly, vibrations in a leaf spring disc clamp from external shocks or drive operation can be reduced utilizing a dampening ring of visco-elastic material. The dampening ring can be fastened to the surface of the disc clamp or placed within a rib on the disc clamp.
