26 Nov 1985TL;DR: In this paper, a disk drive shock mount is provided which attenuates shocks and vibrations to disk drive (1, FIG. 1) and a mounting plate is used to suitably secure the disk drive assembly to the next higher level of assembly.
Abstract: A disk drive shock mount is provided which attenuates shocks and vibrations to a disk drive (1, FIG. 1). The mount comprises a cradle 20 which is affixed to the disk drive housing, and a mounting plate 10 which may be used to suitably secure the disk drive assembly 1 to the next higher level of assembly. Flexible, compressible vibration isolators 50 of rubber or plastic are used to couple the cradle to the mounting plate. Rigid pins 70 on the cradle mate with grommet-enclosed apertures 60, 61 in the mounting plate to limit the degrees of motion permitted between the cradle and the mounting plate.

30 Jul 1998TL;DR: In this paper, a hard disk drive assembly for a portable computer includes a conventional small form factor hard-disk drive which is mounted in a rigid housing; the housing is mounted to the portable computer chassis.
Abstract: A hard disk drive assembly for a portable computer includes a conventional small form factor hard disk drive which is mounted in a rigid housing; the housing is mounted to the portable computer chassis. The hard disk drive itself is shock and vibration protected from the housing by a set of thin shock pads of a shock absorbing material such as a viscoelastic polymer. The pads are e.g. 1 or 2 mm thick, typically no nore than 5 mm thick. The pads are each relatively small in surface area and are interposed between all surfaces of the hard disk drive and the opposing surfaces of the housing, thereby suspending the hard disk drive in the housing with shock and vibration protection, without the shock pads themselves occuying a significant volume.

29 Mar 2012TL;DR: In this paper, an improved enclosure and shock mount for a disk drive is presented. But the design of the shock and vibration isolation is different from ours, as shown in Figure 1.
Abstract: One embodiment relates to an improved enclosure and shock mount for a disk drive. The enclosure and shock mount provide shock and vibration isolation to protect the components of the disk drive. In one embodiment, shock mounts are provided on the disk drive assembly. An enclosure comprises an upper component and a lower component. Retaining features are provided to join the enclosure together and captivate the shock mounts with a desired pre-load.

TL;DR: In this article, a disk drive is dampened through the use of one or more O-rings held in place by a bolt with a pre-determined load force applied to the mounting bracket of the device.
Abstract: Vibration and shock mounting of an apparatus such as a disk drive is dampened through the use of one or more O-rings held in place by a bolt with a pre-determined load force applied to the mounting bracket of the device. One or more notches or slits may be selectively employed as required to equalize the force applied to multiple mounting brackets by the device.
