Patent ID: 7746599

Claim:
A hard disk drive to record and/or reproduce data comprising: a ramp comprising a ramp main body, a plurality of end tab limiters protruding from a side surface of the ramp main body to prevent an end tab of a suspension of the hard disk drive from being separated, due to an external impact, from a parking zone of the ramp, where the end tab is supported at the parking zone when a read/write head of the suspension is parked, and at least one assembly guide rail inclined at a predetermined angle and protruding from the side surface of the ramp main body to form an assembly guide slope to guide movement of the end tab to the parking zone from an assembly entry point, wherein at least one end tab limiter is connected to at least one assembly guide rail and an upper and/or lower side of the one end tab limiter forms with the assembly guide slope a continuous contact movement guide path to guide the movement of the end tab to the parking zone from the assembly point; a head stack assembly to rotatably support the read/write head, the suspension, and a flexure coupled to the suspension and supporting the read/write head, to rotate across a disk of the hard disk drive around a predetermined pivot shaft, wherein the movement guide path is a continuous path from the assembly guide slope to an end of the one end tab limiter, along which the end tab is moved to the parking zone when the head stack assembly is assembled in the hard disk drive; at least one parking guide rail that protrudes from the side surface of the ramp main body to form a parking guide surface to guide the movement of the end tab to/from where a disk of the hard drive would be accommodated and the parking zone; and at least one third limiter protruding heightwise from the side surface of the ramp main body adjacent to the parking guide surface, which faces the one end tab limiter, to prevent the flexure from moving without hindrance due to an external impact when the read/write head is parked, wherein the third limiter protrudes from the side surface of the one parking guide rail beyond a protrusion height of the one end tab limiter from the side surface of the ramp main body.
