Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container with an interior for storing objects, in particular digital data carriers.
  • Containers for the storage of whatever type are known to serve to protect them from external influences, such as pollution or physical effects.
  • Very sensitive objects such as Digital data carriers, such as the compact disc (CD)
  • CD compact disc
  • more or less resistant containers such as the commercially available rectangular, flat CD containers.
  • such containers must be suitable for archiving the objects to be stored.
  • they have to do justice to the increasingly important ecological aspect of reducing the waste generated by packaging to a minimum.
  • containers to be stored such as digital data carriers, their special containers have so far only been used for protection and archiving.
  • containers with a very angular construction such as the CD containers just mentioned, are very susceptible to crack and break damage. Often, a small load acting on the container is sufficient for fine cracks to develop at the edges, which ultimately leads to the container being unusable.
  • the invention relates to a container with an interior for storing objects, in particular digital data carriers, the container formed by a base part and a cover part essentially having the shape of a round disc and an edge portion of the container being curved differently from a disc plane and / or kinked.
  • a container is known from US Pat. No. 5,542,532.
  • This object is achieved in that for a suitability of the container as a flying disc, a central portion of the container extends deviating from the plane of the disc, the bottom part having a curvature directed towards a container interior, whereas the lid part has a curvature directed away from the container interior, and the curvatures of the bottom part and the lid part increasing in strength starting from their center points radially outwards.
  • the container according to the invention can essentially be found in a central, area-expanding fuselage section and the adjoining edge section. Subdivide section, the interior of the container is mainly limited by the body section.
  • This disk-like shape of the container with the curved and / or kinked edge section corresponds approximately to the shape of a "Frisbee (protected symbol) disk", a type of rotary throwing disk, as a result of which the container according to the invention becomes airworthy using the throwing technique known for Frisbee disks ,
  • the container according to the invention acquires a functional characteristic that is detached from the object and can now also be used as a toy, gift or sports device.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that, despite the functional expansion, on the one hand the structure of the container remains simple and thus the production costs, in particular in the case of mass production, at least cannot be increased, if not reduced.
  • the functional expansion does not necessarily mean an increase in weight or additional material.
  • the inventive concept also extends to a rotary throwing disc or flying disc which is designed in accordance with the container formed according to the invention.
  • a rotary throwing disc is provided with an accessible interior in which objects for storage can be accommodated.
  • the rotating spreading disc also acts as a means of transport and is also functionally expanded in this sense.
  • the strength of the container according to the invention is improved due to the disc shape compared to the known rectangular containers, in particular for CDs, since the corner areas which are critical with regard to strength are avoided.
  • the use of an unbreakable plastic such as polypropylene for the container is particularly favorable.
  • the container can be made more robust than known containers, in particular by appropriate material selection.
  • the disc shape of the container can vary according to the objects to be stored, particularly with regard to their outer circumference.
  • a few shape parameters should preferably be mentioned, which can be changed depending on the required flight characteristics of the container.
  • Such a shape parameter is determined, for example, by an angle which the edge section of the container forms with the imaginary disk plane. This angle is in particular in a size range from approximately 45 ° to 270 °, preferably from 70 ° to 180 °. In terms of production technology and in terms of flight characteristics, an angle of a little less than 90 ° is very favorable.
  • the ratio of the height to the diameter of the container is to be defined at most at 0.5, the ratio preferably being in a size range of approximately 0.05 to 0.4.
  • the ratio of the maximum thickness of the container (e.g. measured from the top of the lid to the bottom of the base) to the diameter of the container is to be determined at most 0.3, a size range for this ratio of about 0.02 to 0.3 being preferred.
  • the thickness or the thickness of the container is to be selected such that it decreases starting from the central container section - an area lying around the center of the container - towards the edge section of the container.
  • This central section is preferably flat or slightly curved. Therefore, the thickness of the container at the central section can remain constant or at least only decrease radially.
  • Containers that are particularly suitable in practice have a height of less than 5 cm, preferably less than 3 cm.
  • the preferred diameter is approximately in the range of 14 to 25 cm.
  • the container comprises a bottom part and a lid part which delimit the interior of the container. In one embodiment, they are together to close the
  • the lid part and the bottom part can be formed in one piece, the hinge joint as a weakened transition area (e.g. film hinge) forming the connection point between the lid part and the bottom part.
  • the hinge joint is preferably arranged offset at a distance from the outer contour to the interior of the container.
  • the edge of the lid part can be provided with a bearing surface, which at least partially, preferably flatly, rests on a corresponding counter surface on the bottom part.
  • a continuous outer contour of the container, in particular at the contour transition from the cover part to the base part, ensures a good flow around the container during flight.
  • the bottom part and the lid part of the container have essentially the shape of a round, in particular circular, more or less flat disc.
  • the lid part and the bottom part are more or less curved, the bottom part having a - concave - curvature towards the interior, while the curvature of the lid part is directed outwards - convex - with respect to the container.
  • the curvatures of the lid part and the bottom part are matched - i.e. they have the same direction of curvature. Starting approximately from the center of the container, the strength of the curvature of the lid part can increase in relation to the - imaginary - disc plane of the container in the radial direction. The same applies to the base part, the thickness of the curvature preferably increasing less than that of the cover part towards the radially outward.
  • the ratio of differently strong curvatures of the bottom part and the lid part can be chosen such that when the container is closed, the
  • Cover part meets the bottom part at about the edge section. At the point where that is
  • Cover part and the bottom part meet - in particular on the above Contact surface or in the area of the hinge-joint connection of both parts - they have, for example, approximately the same curvature strengths.
  • a locking mechanism is preferably provided in order to achieve a fixed coupling between the base part and the cover part.
  • a latching mechanism can in particular be formed by a latching projection, which is preferably formed as a spherical extension, and a latching recess which interacts with the latching projection during latching.
  • This latching projection can be arranged either on the cover part or on the bottom part, the latching recess on the bottom part or on the cover part being provided accordingly.
  • the recess can be designed as a blind hole or as a through opening.
  • a threaded connection can also be provided for coupling the base to the lid, e.g. with an external thread on the bottom and a corresponding internal thread on the lid.
  • the bottom part Due to the fact that the bottom part generally receives or holds the object (s) to be stored and is made of more material than the lid part (at least in the edge area), the variant of attaching the locking projection on the lid part and the locking recess on the bottom part has the preference.
  • the latching recess should be provided on the component of the container which is made of more material in order to avoid impairing the robustness or strength of the container by introducing the latching recess.
  • the latter can be formed on the edge thereof with a tab which engages over the edge of the bottom part.
  • the base part in the overlap area of the tab can be made weaker by approximately its thickness to form an indentation.
  • the flap then lies in this trough on the bottom part when the container is closed.
  • the tab preferably comprises one of the above-mentioned locking means in order to ensure secure locking. So that the object to be stored in the interior of the container maintains a fixed position relative to the container, especially during the flight phase, a holding device for the object can be provided in the interior of the container.
  • This holding device can then hold the object to be stored in the interior of the container such that the center of gravity of the object to be stored lies approximately on the axis of rotation of the container. In this way, unbalanced internal forces of the container can be avoided, which under certain circumstances could lead to damage to the object to be stored and also to the container itself and would also impair the flight characteristics.
  • the holding device In the event that objects are to be stored whose center of gravity coincides with their geometric center, the holding device must be arranged centrally with respect to the container.
  • the holding device can comprise a receptacle arranged on the base part, in particular an arrangement of projections adapted to the shape of the object to be stored.
  • a recording prevents the lateral movement of the object to be stored in the interior of the container.
  • the insertion of an object, in particular a CD can be facilitated by the recording if this recording tapers downwards, so that a CD can slide more or less automatically into the final holding position.
  • the holding device can comprise a centering device arranged on the base part, which is preferably designed as a centering projection or as the central clamping device usually used in the known CD cases. If the container is to store more than one compact disc, a centering protrusion is preferable as the centering device.
  • the CDs can be easily stacked on top of one another without the risk of scratching the CD areas described, since a bead protrudes on the CD reading side at the edge of the central round recess of the CD, which has a distance between the CDs arranged one above the other ensures.
  • the Holding device also preferably has a bracing device, for example arranged on the cover part, which elastically loads the stored object, for example the CD or the stack of CDs placed one on top of the other, towards the bottom part. It is also advantageous here that the CDs are held in a rotationally fixed manner, so that the described CD areas cannot be damaged by rotating the CDs over enclosed foreign bodies.
  • the bracing device advantageously causes the cover part to be pushed open away from the base part when the locking between the base part and the cover part is released.
  • the cover part protruding from the base part can then be easily gripped with the fingers in order to open the cover part completely and to provide unimpeded access to the stored object. If the base part is concavely curved as described above, the side CD edge is more or less exposed and can therefore be particularly easily gripped with your fingers to remove the CD.
  • the tensioning device can e.g. be formed by one or more distributed elastic bodies (e.g. made of an elastic plastic or foam plastic) and, in the case of a CD case, loads the CD preferably in the region of its axially projecting bead.
  • distributed elastic bodies e.g. made of an elastic plastic or foam plastic
  • the use of leaf springs or disc springs can also be considered.
  • This suspension device can e.g. Form approximately T-shaped in cross section, the laterally projecting areas can serve as "suspension hooks".
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention for which the applicant reserves the right to claim independent protection, provides a container which can be conveniently provided with information, in particular information relating to the content of the container.
  • the container is provided with an electronic information recording / reproducing device.
  • the container is preferably designed as a CD container for storing at least one CD, in particular as a container of the round shape described above.
  • the interior offers enough space to accommodate the information recording / playback device including the power supply.
  • a voice recording chip including peripheral equipment and battery can be accommodated.
  • the power supply can also comprise a solar cell arrangement, which e.g. can be arranged on a flat side of the container under a transparent lid.
  • the information recording / reproducing device can be suitable for recording voice and / or text and / or image information. Accordingly, it can input / output units such as a microphone, a keyboard, a loudspeaker, a flat display device such as include an LCD display, etc.
  • input / output units such as a microphone, a keyboard, a loudspeaker, a flat display device such as include an LCD display, etc.
  • the display device can be formed from "electronic paper”. This term includes e.g. a film arrangement described in the magazine “Netzwerk und Computer”, issue 1/2000, Neue Ruleippo, Kunststoff. It is an approximately 0.2 mm thick film in which capsules float, which can be influenced by applying a voltage for writing as well as for erasing.
  • the recording of voice information is particularly interesting when children use the container.
  • Such input / output units can be arranged on any part of the container.
  • a playback activation unit such as a button can be provided on the outside of the container, so that the container does not have to be opened for reproducing information.
  • An input device for recording information is preferably arranged inside the container, ie is only accessible after the container has been opened. This reliably prevents accidental information recording, for example.
  • An input unit or an output unit can also be activated automatically by opening or closing the container.
  • a playback unit when opening e.g. when opening a container comprising a lid part and a bottom part, are activated.
  • a container designed in this way is particularly suitable as a gift or advertising material.
  • a container provided as an advertising medium
  • operationally information can only be recorded once and then no longer changed.
  • a CD case for storing a CD in the private area.

  • an input e.g. a socket
  • an external information source in particular a computer
  • an input can be provided for information recording.
  • This facilitates in particular the recording of more extensive information and also offers the advantage that existing information (e.g. a database) can be transferred to the container without having to be re-entered. If only one input connection is provided for information recording, i.e. an input device in the area of the container is dispensed with, the container can be manufactured particularly cost-effectively.
  • the input can be, for example, an electrical connection, in particular an interface customary in computers, in particular PCs, or else an optical input, as is customary, for example, in optoelectronic interface devices.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un contenant comprenant un compartiment interne (4) destiné à stocker des objets (5), en particulier des supports de données numériques, le contenant formé d'une partie socle (11, 11', 11'') et d'une partie couvercle (12, 12', 12'') se présentant essentiellement sous la forme d'un disque, et une partie bord (2, 14, 14'') du contenant s'écartant d'un plan de disque (E) de manière courbé et/ou coudée. Selon l'invention, pour que le contenant puisse être utilisé comme disque volant, une partie médiane (3) du contenant s'écarte du plan de disque (E) de manière courbée, la partie socle (11, 11', 11'') présentant une courbure dirigée vers le compartiment interne (4) du contenant, et la partie couvercle (12, 12', 12'') présentant une courbure s'écartant du compartiment interne (4) du contenant. L'épaisseur des courbures de la partie socle (11, 11', 11'') et de la partie couvercle (12, 12', 12'') augmentent chacune de manière radiale vers l'extérieur à partir de leurs points médians.
