Disk device having vibration absorbers for providing a small-height structure

A disk device for reproducing information from a removable recording disk and/or for recording information in the disk, comprising:

• a casing in which all parts of said disk device are included, said casing including a number of bosses;
• a recording/reproducing unit, including at least a disk motor and an optical head, said disk motor rotating the disk, and said optical head accessing the disk to reproduce information from the disk and/or record information in the disk, said recording/reproducing unit being arranged in said casing and having corners at positions corresponding to said bosses of said casing;
• and
• a plurality of vibration absorbing parts arranged at said corners and fixed to said bosses to absorb vibration of said recording/reproducing unit;
• said recording/reproducing unit including a chassis having mounting holes at said corners, and each vibration absorbing part being respectively fitted to a periphery of one of said mounting holes of said chassis wherein each vibration absorbing part has a plurality of radially extending buffer pieces integrally formed with the vibration absorbing part and projecting from a bottom of the vibration absorbing part, said buffer pieces provided to be out of contact with said casing when a vibration is not present, said buffer pieces provided to be in contact with said casing when the disk device is impacted from vibration.
