Description
Sheet Metal Container for a CD or similar The invention relates to a sheet metal container for a CD or similar with a lower portion which includes a receiving body for the CD or a similar, disc-shaped data carrier with a central opening, and with a cover portion with a downwardly directed edge enclosing the edge of the lower portion.
In the known sheet metal containers of this type, the lower portion has an edge which extends upwards from the base of the lower portion to the cover portion. The lower portion forms a flat shell in which the receiving body, which is composed of foam material and has a depression to receive the CD, is arranged. Since the C~ lies directly on the foam body, it may be scratched if dust or other foreign matter is deposited on the foam material. Moreover, it is difficult to remove the CD from the known container because the CD is arranged in a depression in the receiving body and the lower portion. The CD can also move in the depression and is not securely held. Finally, recycling of known containers also poses problems because the foam receiving body is glued into the lower portion. The known container i5 made of two different materials and the foam receiving body would have to be removed from the lower portion before this can be recycled.
Containers for CDs are most frequently made of transparent plastic nowadays. A receiving body, also made of plastic, i~
arranged in the lower portion of the container for the CD.
This receiving body has a button-like projection in its centre which is divided into resilient lugs by several slots. These resilient lugs engage in the central opening with relatively high tension. Therefore, a high detaching force is required when the CD is first used, and this can 2t 74984 lead to breakage of the CD. Moreover, after some time the plastic lugs lose rigidity so that the CDs are no longer held securely. The lugs may break off as a result of aging of the plastic after a certain length of time or after frequent removal of the CD. Recycling of the plastic contAiner also poses problems since the transparent cont~;ner is generally made of a different plastic to that of the receiving body and the two plastics must not be mixed together.
Therefore, the object of the invention is to provide a sheet metal container for a CD or similar of the aforementioned type, in which the CD is securely held without any risk of damage, from which the CD may still be easily removed, and which is made completely of sheet metal so that it may be easily recycled.
This is achieved according to the invention in that the edge of the lower portion extends d~wnwards away from its base or the cover portion and in its lower area remote from the base has an outwardly projecting rolled edge (bead), and that the receiving body is formed from sheet metal and has a central, essentially cylindrical holding part, which engages in the central opening in the CD to form a clamping connection, its diameter being slightly larger than the diameter of the central opening, and which is surrounded concentrically by a support part, which is raised in relation to the r~m~in;ng area of the base and on which the central portion of the CD
surrounding the central opening is supported.
In the case of the new sheet metal cont~; n~r, after the cover has been removed, the entire edge of the CD is exposed and is additionally at a distance from the base of the lower portion. The CD can thus be easily removed from the lower portion and replaced onto this again. Since in relation to the plastic from which the CDs are made, sheet metal has a lower coefficient of friction than plastic, from which the receiving body has previously been made in the case of plastic packaging, only a low detaching force is required when first using the CD which cannot lead to breakage of the CD. Nevertheless, the clamping force exerted by the holding part is sufficient to hold the CD securely. Since the portion of the CD carrying the data is held at a distance from the base of the lower portion, damage to the CD is avoided. Moreover, the CD may also be removed more easily.
Since the entire sheet metal container including the receiving body is made of sheet metal, it may be recycled easily.
Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterised in the sub-claims.
The invention is explained in further detail below on the basis of examples shown in the drawing.
igure 1 shows a cross-section of the entire sheet metal container in a first embodiment with the CD
disposed therein, in the scale of about 2:1;
igure 2 shows a cross-section of the lower portion in a second embodiment;
igure 3 is a partial side view of the sheet metal container in the area of a corner, in the scale of about 5:1;
igure 4 is a top view onto the sheet metal container in the scale of about 1:1;
igure 5 shows a cross-section along line V-V in Figure 4, in the scale of about 5:1;
igure 6 shows a cross-section along line ~I-VI in Figure 4 in the same scale.
The sheet metal container 1 comprises a cover portion 2 and a lcwer portion 3. The cover portion 2 and lower portion 3 have an essentially rectangular contour, the length and width of which corresponds to the usual dimensions of CD
packs. The cover portion 2 and lower portion 3 are made of sheet steel, in particular tin plate. However, another material, e.g. aluminium sheet, may also be used.
The cont~in~r 1 also has particular new features and advantages resulting from these with respect to the construction of the lower portion 3. As may be seen from Figures 5 and 6, the edge 15 of the lower portion 3 extends downwards away from the base 4, e.g. it is directed away from the cover portion 2. In its lower area remote from the base, the edge 15 has an outwardly projecting ro}led portion 16, which may also be referred to as a bead. This rolled portion 16 provides the lower portion 3 with particular rigidity and also restricts the movement of the cover portion 2 relative to the lower portion 3. In its lower area remote from the cover plate 18, the edge 17 of the cover portion 2 is provided with an inwardly projecting rolled portion (bead) 19. This rolled portion 19 also serves to reinforce the cover portion 2 and abuts against the rolled portion 16 of the edge 15 when the cover portion 2 is attached onto the lower portion 3. The rolled portion 19 encloses the edge 15 of the lower portion 3 and abuts against this to form a clamping co~n~ction.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the lower portion 3 has a separate receiving body 5, which is also made of sheet metal, preferably tin-plated black plate (tin plate), or chromium-plated black plate, in the centre of its base 4.
The receiving body can be produced by deep-drawing.
As holding part, the receiving body 5 has a central cylindrical peg 6, the diameter D of which is about 1~.1 mm, and is therefore approximately 0.1 mm larger than the central sp~n;ng usually provided in CDs. The CD is given the reference 7 and its central opening 8 in Figure 1. The peg 6 may be provided with several radially extending slots 13 to increase its flexibility. The peg 6 is surrounded concentrically by a support part 10 which is connected to the lower end of the cylindrical sidè wall of the peg 6.
A stepped æection 12 is provided on the outer circumference of the support part 10. A fixing flange 9 is also provided which serves to co~ct the receiving body 5 to the base 4.
The s~o~L part 10 is r~iSDA by the stepr~ section 12 in relation to the rem~ining base 4 so that the~e is a space a between the part 7b of the CD provided with data, thus preventing any scratches to the CD.
The fixing flange 9 may be connected to the base 4 of the lower portion 3 in various ways, e.g. by gluing. However, hot-~ealing i~ preferred. Sheet steel, which has already been provided with a sealable paint or a coating of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) prior to deep-drawing, is used here to produce the receiving body.
The thickness of the paint can be between 1 and 10 ~m and that of the plastic material 10 to 50 ~m. The lower portion 3 can either be made of uncoated sheet metal or it may have the same coatings as the receiving body 5.
_ 6 21 74984 The special structure of the lower portion 3 has the essential advantage that, after removal of the cover portion 2, the outer circumference of the CD 7 is exposed on all sides and can therefore be grasped more easily. Conversely, the CD 7 may also be replaced on the holding part 6 without there being any risk of its sensitive underside coming into contact with parts of the lower portion 3.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the holding body 5' forms one piece with the lower portion 3. The holding part 6' in this case is an essentially cylindrical collar drawn from the base 4. As shown in the bottom of Figure 2 on a greatly enlarged scale, this collar is expediently folded rAA;~lly inwards at its free upwardly directed end.
Moreover, the collar 6' is deformed slightly outwards at its free end to provide a diameter D which is slightly larger than the diameter of the central opening 8 of the CD in order to thus assure the clamping and holding function for the CD. As in the case of the previously described embc~;m~nt, the holding part or collar 6' is surrounded concentrically by a support part which is raised in relation to the surrounding area of the base 4. The base 4 is arched upwards in a dome-like shape and slopes down towards the edge 15 of the lower portion 3. As in the previous embodiment, this ensures that the CD is supported on the support part 7 only at its central part 7a surrounding the central opening 8. The r~m~;ning area 7b of the CD, which carries data, does not come into contact with the upwardly arched base 4. There is a space al over all that area and this increases towards the outside. After the cover portion 2 has been removed, the outer circumference of the CD 7 is also exposed on all sides in this embodiment and may be grasped easily.
2~ 74984 -To make it easier to open the sheet metal container, the height of the rolled edge 16 of the lower portion is reduced in the area of at least one corner on its side facing the cover portion 2, which may be achieved by compression, for example. This is shown in Figure 6. The rolled edge 16 is compressed by about O.S mm so that when the container is closed, a corresponding space a is provided in the corner area between the two rolled edges 16, 19. If pressure is applied to the corresponding corner of the cover portion, then the diagonally opposite corner of the cover portion lifts and causes it to open. It is optionally also possible to provide corresponding structures on all four corners so that it is not necessary to pay attention to which corner of the cover portion has to be pressed when opening the cont~; n~r, In order to make it easier to open the sheet metal container, it is also possible to reduce the height of the rolled edge of the cover portion 2 in the area of at least one corner on its side facing the lower portion 3 of the cover, as is shown in the partial side view in Figure 3.
This may also be achieved by means of compression. By applying pressure onto this corner, the cover portion 2 is lifted from the lower portion via the point of rotation l9a and the container begins to open at the diagonally opposite corner.
As may be seen in particular from Figure S, the cover portion 2 is provided with a circumferential step 20 on its upper side in the transition area between its edge 17 and the cover plate 18. This step 20 permits engagement of the rolled edge 16 of the lower portion 3 of a container 1 stacked thereon, as is shown in Figure 5 in broken lines.
This permits any desired number of containers to be stacked one on top of the other without slipping.
The holding part (6) or the cylindrical collar 6' may be made also so long if necessary that two or three CDs can be stacked coaxially one above the other on the holding part 6 or the collar 6' by which they are held.
In the known sheet metal containers of this type, the lower portion has an edge which extends upwards from the base of the lower portion to the cover portion. The lower portion forms a flat shell in which the receiving body, which is composed of foam material and has a depression to receive the CD, is arranged. Since the C~ lies directly on the foam body, it may be scratched if dust or other foreign matter is deposited on the foam material. Moreover, it is difficult to remove the CD from the known container because the CD is arranged in a depression in the receiving body and the lower portion. The CD can also move in the depression and is not securely held. Finally, recycling of known containers also poses problems because the foam receiving body is glued into the lower portion. The known container i5 made of two different materials and the foam receiving body would have to be removed from the lower portion before this can be recycled.
