Claims
- 1. A cushioning material for supporting an inner first housing and an outer second housing to have a distance between said first and second housings, comprising:
a main body having a space to come in contact with an outer surface of said first housing for covering at least part of said first housing; and at least one projection portion formed to protrude from said main body toward said second housing, wherein said projection portion having a contact surface to come in contact with an inner surface of said second housing, said contact surface being formed to extend along said inner surface.
- 2. The cushioning material according to claim 1, wherein said projection portion is provided on each of an upper surface, a lower surface, and side surfaces of said main body.
- 3. A cushioning material for supporting an inner first housing and an outer second housing to have a distance between said first and second housings, comprising:
a main body having a space to come in contact with an outer surface of said first housing to cover at least part of said first housing; a contact surface formed on an outer surface of said cushioning material to come in contact with an inner surface of said second housing; and a hole formed in at least part of said contact surface to promote deformation.
- 4. The cushioning material according to claim 3, wherein said hole is formed to penetrate to said space.
- 5. An information storage device removably mounted on a device body, comprising:
a hard disk driving mechanism; a first housing for accommodating said hard disk driving mechanism therein; a second housing for accommodating said first housing therein; and a connector portion, wherein said first housing is supported by a cushioning material to have a distance between said first housing and said second housing, said cushioning material has a main body having a space to come in contact with an outer surface of said first housing to cover at least part of said first housing, said first housing being and has at least one projection portion formed to protrude from said main body toward said second housing, and said projection portion has a contact surface to come in contact with an inner surface of said second housing, said contact surface being formed to extend along said inner surface.
- 6. The information storage device according to claim 5, wherein said projection portion is provided on each of an upper surface, a lower surface, and side surfaces of said main body of said cushioning material.
- 7. An information storage device removably mounted on a device body, comprising:
a hard disk driving mechanism; a first housing for accommodating said hard disk driving mechanism therein; a second housing for accommodating said first housing therein; and a connector portion, wherein said first housing is supported by a cushioning material to have a distance between said first housing and said second housing, said cushioning material has a main body having a space to come in contact with an outer surface of said first housing to cover at lest part of said first housing, and has a contact surface formed on an outer surface of said cushioning material to come in contact with an inner surface of said second housing, and said cushioning material has a hole formed in at least part of said contact surface to promote deformation.
- 8. The information storage device according to claim 7, wherein said hole is formed to penetrate to said space.
