Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cover for a hard disk drive which can prevent the outflow of a damping resin material and the loosening of a screw fixing the cover to a storage-enclosing case. To attain this purpose, the cover of the present invention is fabricated of a laminated plate with a damping resin member closely inserted between an inner plate and an outer plate of metal, to cover a storage device case by fastening with screws at tapped holes equipped on the laminated plate, wherein a sealing member is installed on the inner plate for sealing between the laminated plate and the case; the marginal portion of the laminated plate and the inner wall of the tapped hole are formed to have a closed structure by bending the inner plate and/or the outer plate to attain a direct contact with each other, so as to prevent the damping resin material from flowing out; and the inner wall of the tapped hole of the closed structure works as a stopper for hooking the head of the screw inserted through the tapped hole.
