Disc drive ramp with sharp detent

The present invention provides for an improved ramp such that the head gimbal assemblies (HGAs) are prevented from moving off the ramp away from the discs. In a preferred embodiment, a ramp has a surface against which a load beam of a HGA rests when the HGA is in the unloaded position. The surface i...

Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides for an improved ramp such that the head gimbal assemblies (HGAs) are prevented from moving off the ramp away from the discs. In a preferred embodiment, a ramp has a surface against which a load beam of a HGA rests when the HGA is in the unloaded position. The surface includes a sharp detent configured for retaining the load beam and thus preventing the load beam from sliding off the surface.
