Abstract

The gramophone record store offers complete protection from dust and dirt and avoids handling the record with the fingers to hold it in tension to prevent warping. The record (3) is gripped around its periphery (8), clear of the grooves, between a cover (1) and a base (2), each with a central depression (6,7) in the region of the grooves and the centre of the record. The cover can also carry a curved rib (11,13) projecting outwards from two opposite sides, which lock into matching grooves in the base. One (13) of the ribs tilts about an axis when an outer extension (14) is pushed, for locking and unlocking. The record is held by the cover while being transferred to the turntable, and is similarly returned after being played.

Description

Partout dans le monde le nombre d'amateurs de chaines de HIFI se multiplient. Paradoxalement, plus les chaines HIFI se perfectionnent, plus la moindre imperfection sur les disques s'entend. All over the world the number of fans of HIFI channels is increasing. Paradoxically, the more the HIFI channels are perfected, the more the slightest imperfection on the discs can be heard.

Dans les conditions actuelles, après quelques usages, il est pratiquement impossible d'avoir des disques exempts de défauts, qu'il s'agisse de rayures, saletés ou déformations. Under current conditions, after a few uses, it is practically impossible to have discs free of defects, whether they are scratches, dirt or deformation.

Conserver des disques a l'abri de la poussière, les conserver bien plats, les préserver de tout contact, autant des mains qui les manipulent, que du contact permanent de la pochette qui les contient, et surtout des rayures que provoquent chaque entrée et sortie du disque de sa pochette, sont les objectifs qui se proposent d'être atteints par le dispositif très simple faisant l'objet de la présente invention. Keep discs away from dust, keep them flat, protect them from contact, as much from the hands handling them, as from permanent contact with the cover that contains them, and especially from scratches caused by each entry and exit of the cover disc, are the objectives which are to be achieved by the very simple device which is the subject of the present invention.

Ce dispositif est en fait un Renre de boitier dans lequel est enfermé le disque, mais ce boitier est pourvu des aménagements nécessaires pour remplir les fonctions ci-dessus définies. This device is in fact a box type in which the disc is enclosed, but this box is provided with the necessary arrangements to fulfill the functions defined above.

Il se compose essentiellement de 2 parties 1 et 2, l'une fais fond 1 et l'autre couvercle 2 par rapport au disque 3 , comme le montre la figure 1 . La figure 2 montre les bords internes des fonds 1 et couvercle formant une empreinte 4 et 5 peu large dans laquelle vient se placer le bord du disque 3 exempt de sillons. Le disque est donc au moins partiellement, mais ce qui est. plus avantageux, maintenu totalement sur tout son pourtour. It essentially consists of 2 parts 1 and 2, one at the bottom 1 and the other cover 2 relative to the disc 3, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows the inner edges of the funds 1 and cover forming a footprint 4 and 5 not wide in which is placed the edge of the disc 3 free of grooves. The disc is therefore at least partially, but what is. more advantageous, maintained completely all around.

A partir de cette première empreinte vient une deuxième empreinte plus large 6 dans le couvercle 1 et 7 dans le fond 2, en tout cas suffisament large pour créer un vide "v" autout des sillons gravés du disque
Au centre, le couvercle 1 se resserrera en 9 et le fond 2 en 10 de manière a ce que la partie centrale du disque soit maintenue bien plate notamment dans le même plan que les bords 8 . L'on veillera au maximum a ce qui les bords 1' et 2' soient étanches.From this first imprint comes a second larger imprint 6 in the cover 1 and 7 in the bottom 2, in any case sufficiently wide to create a void "v" around the grooves engraved on the disc
In the center, the cover 1 will tighten at 9 and the bottom 2 at 10 so that the central part of the disc is kept very flat, especially in the same plane as the edges 8. We will take care as much as possible that the edges 1 'and 2' are waterproof.

La figure 3 montre l'une des manières avantageuses de résoudre le problème de la manipulation des disques sans y toucher. Par exemple, sur le bord du couvercle 1 se trouve une petite languette 11 formant logement pour le bord du disque 8 . Cette languette est fixe. A l'opposé a 1800 se trouve également un petit logement , mais la languette 13 qui en est une partie est manoeuvrable, par exemple par une poussée exercée. en 14
A titre d'exemple, il suffira de prendre le couvercle avec son disque qui lui est encore rattaché, de poser l'ensemble sur le plateau du lecteur de disques, d'exercer une pression en 14 et l'ergot 13 libèrera le disque.Il suffira d'exercer un léger mouvement latéral pour que l'ergot 11 libère également le bord 8
L'une des manières avantageuses, mais non limitatives, pour relier le couvercle au fond est de se servir des ergots il et 13 trouvant les logements 12 et 14 correspondants dans le fond.Figure 3 shows one of the advantageous ways of solving the problem of handling discs without touching them. For example, on the edge of the cover 1 is a small tongue 11 forming a housing for the edge of the disc 8. This tab is fixed. Opposite to 1800 is also a small housing, but the tongue 13 which is a part of it is maneuverable, for example by an exerted thrust. in 14
For example, it will suffice to take the cover with its disc which is still attached to it, to place the assembly on the plate of the disc player, to exert a pressure at 14 and the lug 13 will release the disc. It will be enough to exert a slight lateral movement so that the lug 11 also releases the edge 8
One of the advantageous, but not limiting, ways to connect the cover to the bottom is to use the pins 11 and 13 finding the corresponding housings 12 and 14 in the bottom.

Dans nos descriptions, il a été question de fond et couvercle. In our descriptions, it was a question of bottom and cover.

Ce sont des désignations parfaitement arbitraires, car les deux peuvent être absolument semblables. Pour la publicité, l'une face ou les deux faces peuvent être carrées, ou de toute autre forme, avec impression directe sur matière, motifs décoratifs rapportés ou incorporés.These are perfectly arbitrary designations, because the two can be absolutely similar. For advertising, one side or both sides may be square, or of any other shape, with direct printing on material, decorative patterns added or incorporated.

Suivant la figure 5 , l'une des manières avantageuses pour manutentionner le disque est de se servir de deux lamelles souples 15 et 16 en plastique moulées en même temps que le couvercle 1 . Ces deux lamelles pourront de ce fait par simple pression des doigts, s'ouvrir pour déposer le disque sur la platine ou se refermer pour l'enlever. According to FIG. 5, one of the advantageous ways for handling the disc is to use two flexible strips 15 and 16 of plastic molded at the same time as the cover 1. These two strips can therefore by simple finger pressure, open to deposit the disc on the turntable or close to remove it.

Suivant toujours la figure 5 , il sera par exemple disposé autour du couvercle trois lames de fixation moulées avec celui-ci. Ces trois lames de fixation 17 , 18 , 19 , viendront se loger dans des logements adequats 17' , 18' , 19' , par simple rotation sur le fond 2 comme l'indique la figure 6
Pour permettre le rangement des-boitiers, deux pattes 20 , 21 seront moulées en même temps que et sur un côté du fond 2 du boitier, comme l'indique la figure 6
Ces pattes viendront se loger dans des parties femelles 20' 21' , situées sur un plateau de rangement pouvant accueillir plusieurs boitiers indiqué en figure 7 Still according to Figure 5, it will for example be arranged around the cover three fixing blades molded therewith. These three fixing blades 17, 18, 19, will be housed in suitable housings 17 ', 18', 19 ', by simple rotation on the bottom 2 as shown in Figure 6
To allow storage of the boxes, two tabs 20, 21 will be molded at the same time as and on one side of the bottom 2 of the box, as shown in Figure 6
These legs will be housed in female parts 20 '21', located on a storage tray that can accommodate several boxes indicated in Figure 7
