Definitions
- the present invention relates to a storage holder for a compact disc, and to a storage case containing such a storage holder.
- compact discs are stored in storage cases known as "jewel cases" which can accommodate one or more compact discs.
- the compact disc is secured within the storage case by a storage holder that restrains the compact disc thereby preventing damage or premature release from the storage case.
- the storage holder may be an integral part of the storage case or may be separable from the storage case.
- Known storage holders are exemplified in US 5526926 and US 5788068.
- the storage holder described in US 5526926 comprises a central retaining element that passes through the clearance, i.e. hole, of a compact disc.
- the central retaining element contains spring catches that act as locking elements and which overlap the inner edge formed by the clearance.
- the central retaining element contains substantially rectilinear lifting elements that are activated by an activation means that also releases the locking elements.
- the storage holder comprises inwardly extending arms the inner ends of which form a disc-engaging member that is received by the hole of a compact disc.
- the compact disc is retained by lips that engage its outwardly facing surface. During release, the center of the compact disc is depressed, in other words flexed, by at least one of the lips.
- known storage holders comprise various mechanism for positively releasing the compact disc from the storage holder. These mechanisms are often integral to the storage holder and/or storage case. As can be appreciated increasing the complexity of the storage holder and/or storage case also increases the difficulty of manufacture. Most such holders and cases are injection molded from some form of plastics material. Increasing the complexity therefore requires an increasingly complex mold, longer cycle times to ensure that the mold is correctly filled, increased reject rate and overall expense.
- a first objective of the present invention is to provide a new storage holder that does not flex a compact disc during release of the compact disc from the storage holder.
- a second objective is to provide a new storage holder as previously described having a relatively simple design thereby avoiding the necessity of using complex molds.
- the present invention provides a storage holder for a compact disc having a central hole, an upper surface and a lower surface, said storage holder comprising
- the retaining ribs each have a surface profile such that during actuation of said retaining ribs, said retaining ribs are not engageable with the upper surface of the compact disc.
- said retaining ribs remain at a distance from the lower surface of the compact disc and are not engageable with the lower surface.
- the center disc supporting ring and radial extending arms co-operate so as to prevent flexing of the compact disc.
- each radial arm moves resiliently about a pivot point and each retaining rib has a surface profile such that engagement of the retaining rib and the upper surface of the compact disc is avoided during said movement. Further preferred is when each retaining arm moves through an angle of depression to the horizontal of from 10 to 15 degrees before the compact disc is releasable from the storage holder.
- the storage holder is part of a storage case.
- the storage holder may be integral to the storage case or may be separable from the storage case.
- the storage holder and storage case are separable.
- Figure 1 shows a general arrangement of a storage holder that is integral with a storage case.
- Figure 2 shows a plan view of the inwardly extending radial arm that forms a central button.
- Figure 3 shows a partial side view through a cross section of a storage holder with a compact disc retained in place.
- Figure 4 shows a partial side view through a cross section of a storage holder with a compact disc retained place as the center button is depressed.
- Figure 5 is another view of the storage holder of Figure 4 as the center button is further depressed.
- Figure 6 is another view of the storage holder of Figure 5 as the center button is further depressed to a position whether the compact disc is disengageable from the storage holder.
- the storage holder (11) is integral with the storage case (12).
- the storage holder (11) comprises a base portion (13) that is connected to five inwardly extending radial arms (14) by a center disc supporting ring (15).
- the dimension of the center disc supporting ring (15) is chosen such that when a compact disc (not shown) is retained within the storage holder (11) the portion of the lower surface of the compact disc that touches the center disc supporting ring (15) is free from data.
- Additional optional features that are shown include an outer disc supporting ring (16) that further supports the compact disc retained within the storage holder (11).
- the outer disc supporting ring (16) has on its periphery five release indents (17a,17b,17c,17d,17e), although the actual number provided is a matter for design discretion.
- the release indents (17a,17b,17c,17d, 17e) enable the compact disc to be lifted from the storage holder (11).
- Another method for releasing the compact disc from the storage holder (11) is to invert the storage holder (11) and, when the center button (18) is depressed, the compact disc is released through the action of gravity.
- FIG. 2 the five inwardly extending radial arms (21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, 21e) are shown connected to the center disc supporting ring (22).
- the inner ends of he arms (23a, 23b, 23e, 23d, 23e) form a center button (24).
- the inwardly extending radial arms also carry retaining ribs (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d, 25e).
- FIG. 3 the storage holder (31) is shown in cross-section with a compact disc (32) retained thereon.
- Two of the inwardly extending radial arms (33a, 33b) comprising the storage holder (31) are shown in cross-section and form a partial center button (34).
- the retaining ribs (35a, 35b) carried by the arms (33a, 33b) are shown to have a profiled surface (36a, 36b).
- the retaining ribs (34a, 34b) are engaged against the upper surface (37) of a compact disc (32) and the lower surface (38) of the compact disc (32) sits on the center disc supporting ring (39) such that the center of the compact disc (32) is not flexed.
- the center disk supporting ring (39) is so fabricated such that it is essentially non-resilient thereby assisting to prevent the flexing of the compact disc (32).
- FIG. 4 the center, button (41) is shown partially depressed by a downwards applied force during the release of a compact disc (42) from the storage holder (43).
- the inwardly extending radial arms (44a, 44b) are each pivoted about a pivot point (45a, 45b) respectively. Because of the resilient nature of the material of construction of the storage holder the arms (44a, 44b) return to their original position when the force depressing the center button (41) is removed. During the pivoting movement the retaining ribs (46a, 46b) carried by the arms (44a, 44b) also move.
- each retaining rib (46a, 46b) is so contoured that during the pivoting movement contact with the upper surface (48) of the compact disc (42) is avoided thereby releasing the compact disc (42) without stressing or flexing it.
- the compact disc (42) remains in position after release such that when the force depressing the center button (41) is removed and the arms (44a, 44b) return to their original positions then the retaining ribs (46a, 46b) can re-engage against the upper surface (48) of the compact disc (42) without stressing or flexing it.
