Load beam with unitary lift feature

Load beam for supporting at its distal portion a flexure carrying a head in operative association with a disk drive having a removable disk and an actuator for shifting said load beam along its longitudinal axis, said load beam distal portion having left and right hand edges, said load beam edges having edge rails each extending a first and second given length along a portion of each of said edges, said edge rails being discontinuous between their said first and second lengths at said load beam edges such that said load beam edges have no edge rail at the locus of said edge rail discontinuity, portions of said first and second lengths of said edge rails on either side of each said discontinuity being outwardly deflected from said load beam edges said load beam having triangular webs extending laterally from said load beam edges and in the plane of said load beam between and unitary with said deflected edge rail first and second lengths to define lift bracket cam followers and supports formed with said load beam and unitary therewith and with each other, each said cam follower comprising a distal web portion turned on itself along its longitudinal axis to form a generally cylindrical cam follower surface extending normal to said load beam edge and adapted for camming engagement with a camming surface in head lifting relation relative to said disk and responsive to longitudinal shifting of said load beam.
