Abstract
A ramp has an attaching portion and an arm holding portion The attaching portion is molded with high polymer material so that the attaching portion has a screw hole for fixing the ramp to the housing of an information recording disk apparatus by a screw. The arm holding portion is molded with high polymer material whose fiction coefficient is small, and the arm holding portion has a storing portion to hold the suspension arm retracted from the recording disk and also has a guide portion against which the suspension arm slides so that it is easily moved in and out of the storing portion The attaching portion and the arm holding portion are united in one by subsequently molding the attaching portion and the arm holding portion.
