Patent ID: RE41401

Claim:
A magnetic head suspension assembly including comprising: an air bearing slider and having at least one transducer disposed on said slider mounted thereon for transducing data that is recorded and read out from a surface of a rotating magnetic disk drive comprising: disc; a single integral planar piece of a specified thickness of material comprising , : a load beam section formed with a narrowed end; a flexure section formed with having a shaped opening which defines two spaced narrow legs defining a cutout portion therebetween, said legs extending flexure beams that extend in a longitudinal direction from said narrowed end of said load beam section, and a lateral ear spaced said flexure section further including a transverse section spaced in said longitudinal direction from said load beam section , said transverse section connecting said legs flexure beams ; a load point tongue extending from said narrowed end of said narrowed load beam section into said shaped opening such that said flexure beams and load point tongue lie substantially in the same plane , said load point tongue being disposed substantially between said legs of said flexure section, said tongue beams and having a free end within said flexure section, shaped opening, said load point tongue being formed with having a load dimple supporting protrusion ; said air bearing slider being bended to said lateral ear transverse section and in contact with said load dimple; whereby load transfer is effectively separated from the gimballing action of said slider so that pitch and roll stiffness is effectively reduced supporting protrusion .
