is a second base 17 which is identical to base 12 and also includes two truncated pyramid shaped members thus the two bases 12 and 17 are secured directly to opposite sides of the disk drive housing 11 to provide a rigid link thereto one of the problems encountered with devices such as disk drives is that disk drives are partially vulnerable to frequencies in the range of 350 to 650 cycles per second the shock and isolation system of the present invention has been found to provide effective isolation for frequencies in the range of 350 to 650 cycles per second to thereby minimize problems of disk failures fig2 to fig4 show a portion of base 12 with the truncated pyramid shaped member 14 extending outwardly therefrom member 14 which is made from a rigid material such as metal includes a first angled face 14 a a second angled face 14 b a third angled face 14 c and a fourth angled face 14 d with a top surface 14 e the member 14 is secured to base 12 to provide a rigid link to the housing of disk drive 11 in the embodiment shown each of the faces of the pyramid shaped member 14 form an angle u00f8 of about 45 degrees with the base 12 fig5 is a perspective view of a cylindrical shaped elastomer 20 having a first end 21 and a second end 22 with a cylindrical shaped body 21 a elastomer 20 preferable can be made from materials such as natural rubbers and synthetic resins such as polyvinyl chlorides polyurethane polyaniides polystyrenes copolymerized polyvinyl chlorides and poloyolefine synthetic rubbers as well as synthetic materials such.
