Abstract:
A method for assembling a head-gimbal assembly of a hard disk drive, the method including the steps of dispensing adhesive onto a top surface of a gimbal tongue, wherein the gimbal tongue is positioned adjacent to a load beam with a dimple extending from its top surface, and wherein the gimbal tongue is configured with at least one support feature that inhibits its deformation toward the dimple when subjected to downward pressure with respect to the dimple; positioning a slider on which a magnetic head is mounted adjacent to the top surface of the gimbal tongue; and pressing the slider onto the adhesive and toward the dimple of the load beam.

Claim (Index 1):
A head-gimbal assembly for a hard disk drive, the assembly comprising:\n a gimbal tongue having a length extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the head-gimbal assembly, wherein the gimbal tongue is positioned adjacent to a dimple extending from a top surface of a load beam toward a bottom surface of the gimbal tongue, and wherein the gimbal tongue comprises:\n at least three pedestals extending upwardly from a top surface of the gimbal tongue and defining multiple points of a representative perimeter shape; and \n at least one support feature extending upwardly from the top surface of the gimbal tongue that inhibits deflection of the gimbal tongue when subjected to downward pressure with respect to the dimple, wherein the at least one support feature is positioned entirely within the representative perimeter shape defined by the at least three pedestals; \n wherein the gimbal tongue comprises first and second edges extending along the length of the gimbal tongue, and at least one slot extending along and adjacent to at least one of the first and second edges and positioned between two adjacent pedestals of the at least three pedestals; and \n a slider adhered to the top surface of the gimbal tongue and positioned adjacent to the at least three pedestals and the at least one support feature.
