ABSTRACT:
A shock absorbing device for protecting a hard disk drive housing found primarily in portable electronic devices. The shock absorbers include protuberances that emanate from the body of the shock absorber and that extend through apertures provided in the enclosure. Thus, the physical shock is taken up by the body of the shock absorber as well as the protuberances, which increase the compression height of the shock absorber and increase the shock damping characteristics of the shock absorber. This permits decreasing the size of the enclosure, which is often desirable to consumers.
