The fixed support 1 includes a frame body 10, a first base post 20, and a plurality of second base posts 21.

  The frame body 10 can be made by pressing or bending a metal plate. 3 and 4, the formed frame body 10 has at least one pair of leg bases 11 that are bent downwardly from that side. The cross section of the leg base 11 can be formed in an “L” shape in order to support the upper surface of the frame body 10 upward at an appropriate height. The data access device is firmly arranged on the upper surface of the frame body 10 (see FIG. 4). A pressing portion 100 of the first elastic material is provided on the upper surface of the frame body 10 so as to lean upward. When the data access device 3 is horizontally disposed on the upper surface of the frame body 10, the elastic material pressing portion 100 abuts against the bottom surface of the data access device 3, and thus provides a suitable elastic force to reduce vibration. To do. Furthermore, one of the frame bodies 10 is curved upward to form the stop wall 12 in order to abut against the side of the data access device 3 having the locking hole 30. The plurality of insertion portions 120 project from the stop wall 12 corresponding to the locking holes 30. Each insertion portion 120 is formed in a short pin shape to be inserted into each locking hole 30 of the data access device 3 in order to fix the data access device 3 on the frame body 10.

  According to the above, the upright section of the “L-shaped” leg base 11 extends from the upper surface side of the frame body 10, and the bottom section of the “L-shaped” leg base 11 has a plurality of large holes 110. Is provided. Each large hole end 110 is formed by a small hole 111 facing towards the same side (see FIG. 5). Further, each small hole 111 communicates with an associated large hole 110. In addition, the leg base 11 is provided for abutting the pressing portion 112 of the second elastic material downward. When the fixed support 1 is placed horizontally on the base 2, the pressing portion 112 of elastic material abuts against the surface of the base 2 so as to provide a suitable elastic material to reduce vibrations.

  1 and 2, the first base post 20 and the second base post 21 are each fixedly provided on the base 2. Each base post 20 or 21 faces each large hole 110 in the leg base 11. The first base post 20 includes a positioning hole 200. The positioning hole 200 may be a screw hole so that a fixing part 22 such as a screw can be screwed into the first base post 20. On the other hand, the upper end of each remaining second base post 21 comprises a cap head 210. An annular groove 211 is formed between the cap head 210 and the associated second base post 21.

  With the above structure, an improved structure of the fixed support of the data access device can be completed.
