US Patent 7420779 Disk apparatus having suspension provided with head support projections

A disk apparatus, e.g., a magnetic disk apparatus has a storage medium in the form of a disk which is rotated and accessed, and is designed so as to reduce the occurrence of scratches on the storage medium due to contact between the head and the storage medium while ensuring stable access to the disk-type storage medium. In addition to a main dowel which is provided on a suspension and which supports a magnetic head at a center of the same, an auxiliary dowel is provided on the suspension on the air outflow side relative to the main dowel to limit the tilt of the magnetic head at the time of loading.
