Filtering device for a magnetic disc apparatus
A magnetic disc apparatus has a ramp holding the magnetic head in a position apart from the magnetic disc and a filter case holding a filter in the state of being bent in such a manner that the filter surrounds the ramp together with the magnetic disc. The filter removes dust in airflow which flows in the magnetic disc apparatus accompanying the rotation of the magnetic disc.
1. A magnetic disc apparatus in which a magnetic head for accessing a magnetic disc is provided at the tip of a carriage arm, the magnetic head being positioned on the rotating magnetic disc to access the magnetic disc, the magnetic disc apparatus comprising:
a ramp holding the magnetic head in a position apart from the magnetic disc; and
a filter case holding a filter in the state of being bent in such a manner that the filter surrounds the ramp together with the magnetic disc, the filter extending from a side surface of the carriage arm to a back surface of the ramp as viewed from the carriage arm, and the filter removing dust in airflow which flows in the magnetic disc apparatus accompanying the rotation of the magnetic disc.
2. The magnetic disc apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a slit shroud is formed at one end of the filter case and positioned near a magnetic case.
