Description
, ,. 2049~r3 DISC HANDLING DEVICE, METHOD OF USE AND PACKAGE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
: This invention relates generally to a disc handling deviee and method of use for~handling discs such as compact dises, reeord albums, optieal dises, and video dises. Muslc and other types of informational signals are digitized and then reeorded on a dise sueh as the eompaet disc, also known as a "CD." However, the invention is speeifieally directed to the handling of eompaet dises.
In order to play baek musie or other signals stored on a eompaet dise for example, the dise is inserted into a player , , ' 2~,94.~i which utilizes a laser beam to read the stored information and transla~e it into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is then translated into an audible signal which may be heard through a speaker. In order for the laser ~eam to correctly and accurately read the information stored on a compact disc and permit the player to reproduce the signals stored on it, the disc must be free from dirt, defects and damage.
Compact discs are typically sold in a plastic box which stores the compact disc and protects it from such hazards as dirt, fingerprints, scratching, etc., which interfere with the quality of sound reproduction. The plastic box is usually shaped like a hinged book and typically has a central plastic core which secures the central hole in the disc to hold the disc securely wit~in a circular recess in the ~ox. To remove the disc from the storage box and insert it in a player, an individual must grasp at least the edge of the disc. However, oftentimes a person may inadvertently touch portions other than the edge, which leaves fingerprints and/or smudges on the disc. Further, the person may drop or scratch the disc causing permanent damage, all which interfere with the quality of sound reproduction.
One prior art compact disc handling device is that disclosed in ~nited States Patent No. 4,726,615 (Goldberg~.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring now to various figures of the drawings where like reference numerals refer to like parts there is shown at 10 in Figs. 1 and 4, a device constructed in accordance with this invention, shown gripping a compact disc 12 from a compact disc plastic storage box 14.
r~ ~
The device 10, basically comprises handles 20 for holding and actuating the device, a first and second arm 40 and 42, grippers 60 for ~ripping the top and bottom edges of disc 16 and a pivot 80 for pivoting the arms, all to be described in further detail later. Suffice it to say for now -that a person actuates the device by applying pressure to the handles 20 which causes the arms 40 and 42 to pivot about the pivot 80, causing ~he grippers 60 to be circumferentially adjacent the disc edge 16 as spring 90 is compressed. When the pressure is removed, the grippers 60 securely grip the edge of the disc 16, permitting the person to lift the disc 12 out of the compact disc plastic box 14 by lifting the device 10 in a vertical direction. Thus, the device 10 is in the normally closed or disc gripping condition.
As shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 4, the handles 20 have inner surfaces 22 and outer surfaces 24. The inner surfaces 22 additionally comprise a spring recess 26 for retaining spring member 9O which assists the user in actuating the device as described in detail later. Additionally, the outer surfaces 2~
preferably have finger indents 28 to facilitate gripping of the device by a person during use.
The handles 20 are pivotally connected at a juncture 92 to each of the proximal ends 44 of the first and second arms 40 and 42 by a pivot pin ~4. Each of the arms 40 and 42 comprise a proximal end 44 and distal end 46 with gripper ~O for gripping the edye(s) of the disc 16. The pivot pin 94 is used to pivot the first and second arms 40 and 42 in response to actuation of : -6-the handles 20. The pivot pin 94 is inserted into and retained by pi~ot retaining open.ings 96 in each of the handles 40 and 42 at juncture 92.
In the preferred embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4, the device additionally comprises a spring member 90 contained within spring recess 26 which aids in positioning the handles 20 and the grippers 60. When pressure is applied to the outer surfaces 22 of handles 20 by a person's fingersj the sprinq member 90 is compressed as grippers 60 move outward to circum-ferentially engage the disc edge 16. When the pressure on outer surfaces 22 is decreased, the spring tension causes the grippers 60 to move towards one another and grip the disc edge 22 as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The disc 12 is now releasably secured for removal from the plastic box 14 or disc player (not shown).
The grippers 60 which grip the disc edge 16 are located on the distal ends 46 of the arms 40 and 42. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the distal ends 46 comprise first inner surfaces 48 while the grippers 60 also comprise an extended portion 50 at each distal end. The extended portions 50 have second inner surfaces 52. The planes of the second inner surfaces 52 are at a predetermined angle to the planes of the first inner surfaces 48. In the preferred embodiment of the device, the predetermined angle is preferably ninety degrees (90) in order to more securely grip the disc edge-16. As shown in Fig. 3, the corners of the disc are in point contact with surfaces 48 and 52. The angle between the surfaces 4~ and 52 may 3 k ~
vary within a range of sixty de~rees ~60) to one hundred fi~ty degrees (150), although the invention is not so limited.
As shown in Fig. 5, the device lo of the present lnvention is preferably compact enough to be enclosed in the thin packaging 18 which may be used to package compact discs 12.
~owever, it should be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that larger devices may also be constructed for use with larger discs such as optical and video discs. Although any suitable materials may be used in the construction of the device, in order to decrease manufacturing and assembly costs it is preferable that the device 10, except for spring 90, be comprised o~ a somewhat rigid but impact resistant plastic such as polystyrene. Additionally, it is preferable to use a convention-al spring, whose characteristic~. may be adjusted in accordance with the specific conditions and methods o~ use.
~ he packaging 18, may be comprised of any suitable packaging material or combination thereof, such as cardboard, plastic, etc., and is preferably of the approximate dimensions 0.5 inches high by 5.75 inches wide by 1~ inches long. Addition-ally, the packaging contains windows 19 made of any resilient, transparent material so that a consumer or user may view printed material (not shown) on the disc box 14 and the device lQ
contained within packaging 18 on both or any sides o~ packaging 18.
The method o~` handling and moving discs which contain information comprises the steps of providing a disc 12 contained .~ . , .
~8-on a surface and a disc handling device 10 comprising handles 20 with inner and outer surfaces 22 and 24 connected to a juncture 92 having a pivot 94. The inner surfaces 22 have a spring recess 26 for retaining a spring member 90. The first and second arms 40 and 42 are connected to the pivot 94 and have proximal ends 44 and distal ends 46 to which is attached grippers 60 ~or gripping the edge of a disc 16. Pressure is applied to the handles 20 on the device 10 so that the inner surfaces of the handles 22 move closer together causing the grippers 60 on the arms of the device to pivot away from each other about a pivot 92 so that the grippers may grip the edge of the disc. The pressure applied to the handles 20 is then released so that the grippers 60 engage the edge of the disc 16. The device lO
releasably securing the disc 12 is then lifted so that the disc is removed from the surface upon which it lies such as a CD
player, storage hox or any other surface.
