Shock-absorbing material made from a mixture of solid particles and viscous elastic material is arranged at the periphery of an information storage and retrieval device. When an external shock is applied to the device, the shock-absorbing material is greatly deformed and dissipates the shock energy by inner friction sufficiently to prevent damage to the inner mechanism of the device. The deformed shock-absorbing material can be restored to the original shape so that it is repeatedly usable. Furthermore, by comparing the deformed shape and the quick reference table provided with the device, the amount shock acceleration can be roughly determined. The device conforms to one of a series of dimensional standards for information storage and retrieval devices.
An information storage and retrieval device, which is nearly rectangular-shaped, and which can be mounted to and dismounted from an information processing device, and by means of which information recording and reproducing is performed while the device is mounted to the information processing device, the information storage and retrieval device comprising:
An information storage and retrieval device comprising:
An information storage and retrieval device according to wherein the shock-absorbing material is formed by a mixture of solid particles and a viscous elastic material around a spring, and wherein after the shock-absorbing material is deformed, the spring causes the shock absorbing material to return substantially to its original shape.
An information storage and retrieval device comprising:
