Patent ID: 6882019

Claim:
A computer storage device, comprising: a frame; a mover configured to move relative to the frame, the mover including a plurality of data locations accessible via operation of a read/write device; and a mechanical suspension operatively coupled between the frame and mover, the mechanical suspension being configured to permit planar movement of the mover relative to the frame while substantially, preventing out-of-plane relative movement, such planar movement being defined by an X direction and a Y direction, the mechanical suspension including: at least one X-axis flexure configured to flex in response to movement of the mover in the X direction relative to the frame; two Y-axis flexures configured to flex in response to movement of the mover in the Y direction relative to the frame, the Y-axis flexures being symmetrically disposed on opposing sides of the X-axis flexure and aligned along a longitudinal axis that bisects the X-axis flexure: and a coupling member arranged between and secured to the X-axis flexure and the Y-axis flexures.
