Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A magnetic disc device comprising: a case having a base; a plurality of magnetic discs; a plurality of magnetic heads; a head actuator; a motor for driving a spindle of said magnetic discs; a printed circuit board for driving said motor; and a main printed circuit board mounting a read/write circuit for the magnetic discs; said magnetic discs, said magnetic heads and said head actuator being housed within said case; and said motor, said printed circuit board for driving the motor and said main printed circuit board being disposed outside of said base of the case, wherein said head actuator comprises a head arm which is rotatable about a pivot, said pivot comprising an outer sleeve installed on a stationary shaft, wherein a lower inner peripheral edge of said outer sleeve is inclined, and said shaft is supported on a seat which has an inclined periphery corresponding to said inclined periphery edge of said outer sleeve.
