Definitions

  • the invention concerns a tool enabling the release of items from clips, clamps and the like on which the items are normally stored when not in use and is in particular, but not exclusively, concerned with tools enabling the ready release of audio compact discs from the containers in which they are sold and stored when not in use.
  • a disc is located on the support formed by the plurality of fingers by being pushed down onto it. This action causes the edges of the hole in the disc to engage with the fingers and force and bend them toward the centre of the circle on which they are located. Further pressure on the disc forces the fingers to flex sufficiently for the disc to pass over the portion of the support of enlarged diameter and onto that part of it upon which the disc is a friction fit.
  • the invention provides a tool for use in releasing an item frictionally fitted upon a resilient support passing through an aperture in the item, the tool comprising a body having an end face which may be brought to bear upon the resilient support and which may, with application of pressure thereto, cause the resilient support to deform so as to release the the item therefrom, the body being further provided with a surface immediately adjacent the end face upon which the item may be supported when released from the resilient support.
  • the body has a first part extending from the end face of the tool partway along the length thereof and a second substantially frustro-conical part separated from said first part by a shoulder; the maximum diameter of said first part of said body being less, and the minimum diameter of said second part of said body being greater, than the diameter of the aperture in the disc to be released by the tool such that the disc may be supported on the shoulder between the two parts when it is on the tool.
  • the tool further comprises a handle by means of which the tool may readily be grasped by a user.
  • Tool 10 operable to remove an audio compact disc 12 from a container 14 therefor.
  • Tool 10 is shown to comprise a first generally frustro-conical part 16 formed with a centrally located stud or boss 18 on its planar end face 20.
  • the tool further comprises a handle 22 of any suitable shape - e.g. as shown in Figures 1 and 2, with the end remote from the stud 18 thinned down to provide a part which may readily be grasped between the finger and thumb of a user.
  • the container 14 for disc 12 has a lower wall 24 generally configured to form a recess in which disc
  • a user grasps the end 22 of the tool between thumb and forefinger and locates the stud 18 within the pointed ends of the sections 32 of the fingers 30 and presses end face 20 of tool 10 against the sections 32.
  • This action causes the resilient fingers 28 to bend inwardly and deform so that the disc 12 becomes free to move along the support 26.
  • the user inverts container 14 allowing the disc 12 to fall off member 26 and onto part 16 of the tool, as shown in Figure 2.
  • the tool may be used by a user to carry the disc 12 to a disc player.
  • the user reverses the actions described above, i.e.
  • the tool may be formed in any suitable way and be of any suitable material, however I prefer that the tool be formed by injection moulding a plastics material.
  • the body 44 Moving along the tool, away from the handle 42, the body 44 has a shoulder 66 and then a length 68 which only slightly converges until the end of the tool is reached.
  • the end of the tool comprises a bevelled end face 70 having a stud or boss 72 centrally located thereon.
  • the two portions of the tool are preferably separately moulded from a plastics materials such as a medium impact polystyrene or crystal styrene and are then fitted together - the wall 56 being passed into the hollow body with the lands 60 thereon fitting in the slots 64.
  • a metal ring 74 placed over the wall 56 before the two portions are inter engaged so that ring 74 becomes interposed between the shoulder 58 and the end face 76 of the body as shown.
  • the tool may be used to release a disc from a container housing it in the method described in above with reference to Figures 1 to 3, namely, a user grasps the handle 42 the tool between thumb and forefinger and locates the stud or boss 72 within the ends of the fingers on which the disc is mounted, presses the end face 70 against uppermost parts of the fingers to cause the resilient fingers to bend inwardly so the disc 76 becomes free to move along them. Whilst holding the tool in position deforming the fingers the user inverts the container allowing the disc 76 to pass out of the container along length 68 of the body part until it comes to rest on the shoulder 66.

Abstract

Un outil (10), destiné à dégager des objets (12) ajustés par friction sur des supports résilients (26) passant au travers d'ouvertures (30), comprend un corps présentant une face d'extrémité (20) pouvant venir s'appuyer sur le support pour le déformer et dégager l'objet, ledit corps ayant une surface (16) immédiatement adjacente à la face d'extrémité sur laquelle est posé l'objet lors de son dégagement. Ledit outil peut comprendre un disque compact acoustique reposant normalement sur un support comprenant plusieurs languettes résilientes (28) s'engageant par friction dans les côtés d'une ouverture du disque, l'outil venant s'appuyer contre les extrémités des languettes pour les déformer et permettre au disque de passer sur une surface du corps, dont le diamètre augmente vers l'extérieur depuis ladite face d'extrémité à partir d'une valeur inférieure au diamètre de l'ouverture du disque. La face d'extrémité est formée d'une projection (18) placée en son milieu, qui lors de l'utilisation passe dans les extrémités libres des languettes, afin de permettre un positionnement direct de l'outil. Ladite projection peut comprendre un renflement (72) ou présenter une forme plus complexe - tel qu'au moins deux parties (80, 82) de diamètres différents disposées l'une au-dessus de l'autre sur la face d'extrémité - afin de permettre l'utilisation de l'outil avec des supports de configurations différentes. Dans une variante, le corps comprend une première partie (70) s'étendant depuis la face d'extrémité (72) jusqu'à une seconde partie séparée de ladite première partie par une épaule (66) sur laquelle peut reposer le disque. L'outil comprend en outre une poignée (22) et, dans une variante, le corps (44) et la poignée (42) comprennent des parties creuses s'engageant l'une dans l'autre, l'une des parties (42) ayant un élément mâle s'engageant dans un élément femelle de l'autre partie (44). Dans cette variante, l'élément mâle comprend une paroi (56) épousant la forme d'une paroi intérieure (62) de l'autre partie et présentant un
