Abstract
An antivibration guide rail for a computer disk drive, in which soft elastic antivibration pads are additionally located at appropriate positions on a hard plastic guide rail, and the guide rail is fitted to two sides of a disk drive. Accordingly, the antivibration pads are able to absorb vibration produced when the disk drive is running, thereby improving read accuracy of the disk drive, and reducing noise produced by vibration when the disk drive is running.
Claims4
An antivibration guide rail for a computer disk drive, comprising a guide rail installed on two sides of a disk drive, wherein the main body of the guide rail is fabricated from hard plastic, and soft elastic antivibration pads are located at appropriate positions on the guide rail;
- whereby, when the antivibration pads are in contact with the disk drive or when the guide rails are respectively slid into tracks of a computer disk drive slot, the antivibration pads absorb vibration produced when the disk drive is running, thereby improving read accuracy of the disk drive, and reducing noise produced when the disk drive is running.
