ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for mounting head-supporting flexures in a disc drive includes a transverse hole closely adjacent the distal end of head mounting arms, the transverse hole communicating to the distal surface of the head mounting arm through a transverse slot. Flexures are formed with a substantially semi-cylindrical transverse channel at their proximal mounting ends. A pair of flexures--or a single flexure and a dummy channel blank--are placed in back-to-back relationship such that the transverse channels form a substantially cylindrical transverse opening, and a transverse pin is inserted in the transverse opening. The flexures and pin--or single flexure, dummy channel blank and pin--are then inserted into the transverse hole in the head mounting arm with the flexures extending distally through the transverse slot. The components may be held in their assembled positions by interference fit, or the transverse pin may be deformed after assembly to lock the components in their assembled condition.
