ABSTRACT:
A damper mechanism for mounting a base member containing a recording/reproducing apparatus to a frame includes a solid shaft member having a caulking recess in one end, and a threaded opening in an opposite end. The caulking recess is dimensioned and outwardly expandable to secure the one end of the shaft member to a through-hole in the base member by filling the base member through-hole. A vibration absorbing member has a center through-hole which receives the shaft member therein. The vibration absorbing member has substantially cylindrical shaped first and second portions provided along a longitudinal axis of the shaft member. An engagement recess is formed between the first and second portions of the vibration absorbing member to engage a through-hole in the frame. The cylindrical second portion is larger in diameter than the cylindrical first portion. A set screw with a flanged-shaped head and a threaded shaft portion engages the threaded opening of the shaft member. The flanged-shaped head engages the vibration absorbing member's second portion to secure the vibration absorbing member to the shaft member. An elastic member is formed on an outer side of the first cylindrically shaped portion and extends between the frame and the base member to bias the frame away from the base member.
