Description
L'invention concerne un support pour disques numériques, par exemple duThe invention relates to a support for digital disks, for example
type CD ou DVD, particulièrement adapté pour l'envoi de tels disques par courrier. type CD or DVD, particularly suitable for sending such discs by mail.
ARRIERE-PLAN DE L'INVENTION On connaît, par exemple du document DE 198 54 678 Al, un support de disque numérique constitué d'une carte de carton présentant un embossage circulaire qui porte un centreur apte à coopérer avec l'orifice central du dis- que. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known, for example from DE 198 54 678 A1, a digital disk support consisting of a cardboard card having a circular embossing which carries a centralizer adapted to cooperate with the central orifice of the dis - than.
Lorsque le disque est rapporté sur le support, la face du disque en regard du support est, dans une zone centrale de celle-ci, appuyée contre l'embossage. Le reste de ladite face est alors espacée du support d'une distance correspondant à la hauteur de l'embossage, ce qui permet de protéger cette partie de la face du disque des rayures. When the disc is attached to the support, the face of the disc facing the support is, in a central zone thereof, pressed against the embossing. The remainder of said face is then spaced apart from the support by a distance corresponding to the height of the embossing, which makes it possible to protect this part of the face of the disc from scratches.
Ce type de support n'est cependant pas adapté à l'envoi de disques par courrier, car le passage d'un tel support dans une machine de tri automatique entraînerait la déformation de l'embossage qui conduirait à l'application du disque sur la carte, source de rayures. This type of medium is however not suitable for sending discs by mail, because the passage of such a support in an automatic sorting machine would cause the deformation of the embossing that would lead to the application of the disc on the card, source of scratches.
OBJET DE L'INVENTION L'invention a pour objet un support pour disque numérique, permettant l'envoi du disque par courrier tout en diminuant le risque de détérioration du disque. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The subject of the invention is a support for a digital disk, enabling the disk to be sent by mail while reducing the risk of deterioration of the disk.
BREVE DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
En vue de la réalisation de ce but, on propose un support pour au moins un disque numérique, comportant une carte en papier fort, carton ou similaire, la carte ayant au moins une face de laquelle s'étend en saillie au moins un centreur apte à coopérer avec l'orifice central du disque. Selon l'invention, ladite face de la carte est revêtue, au moins à proximité du centreur, d'une couche de protection en un matériau apte à générer par friction avec le disque, lors d'une pression du disque contre la carte, une résistance à la rotation du disque par rapport au support. In order to achieve this goal, a support is proposed for at least one digital disc, comprising a card made of strong paper, cardboard or the like, the card having at least one face of which projecting at least one suitable centering device. to cooperate with the central orifice of the disc. According to the invention, said face of the card is coated, at least in the vicinity of the centralizer, with a protective layer made of a material capable of frictionally generating with the disc, during a pressure of the disc against the card, a resistance to rotation of the disc relative to the support.
Il n'est dès lors plus nécessaire de prévoir d'espace entre le disque et la carte, la couche de matériau anti-dérapant empêchant le disque de tourner de sorte que les risques de rayure du disque sont notable-ment diminués, quand bien même la surface externe de la couche serait polluée de particules dures. It is therefore no longer necessary to provide space between the disc and the card, the layer of anti-slip material preventing the disc from rotating so that the risk of scratching the disc are significantly reduced, even though the outer surface of the layer would be polluted with hard particles.
La suppression dudit espace, outre qu'elle permet l'économie d'une opération d'embossage, confère à l'ensemble disque/support une épaisseur faible facilitant l'envoi dudit ensemble par courrier. The removal of said space, besides it allows the economy of an embossing operation, gives the disk / support assembly a low thickness facilitating the sending of said set by mail.
Par ailleurs, le disque est soutenu par le sup- port dont la rigidité en flexion permet d'éviter au dis-que des déformations préjudiciables à son intégrité lors de la manipulation du courrier le contenant. Moreover, the disk is supported by the support, the flexural rigidity of which makes it possible to avoid deformations that are detrimental to its integrity when handling the mail containing it.
Selon un aspect particulier de l'invention, la carte est en carton ondulé. Ce matériau présente un corn- promis épaisseur/rigidité particulièrement intéressant dans l'application envisagée ici. According to a particular aspect of the invention, the card is made of corrugated cardboard. This material has a particularly advantageous thickness / rigidity in the application envisaged here.
Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, le centreur est une pastille de mousse synthétique élastiquement déformable. L'utilisation de mousse synthétique confère au centreur une souplesse permettant la mise en place aisée de disques sur le support. La résilience de la mousse synthétique garantit un retour du centreur dans sa forme initiale après retrait du disque, ce qui permet de réutiliser le support plusieurs fois. En outre, la mousse est suffisamment souple pour accepter une certaine déformation lors d'un passage dans une machine de tri automatique de courrier. According to another aspect of the invention, the centralizer is a pad of elastically deformable synthetic foam. The use of synthetic foam gives the centralizer flexibility allowing the easy placement of disks on the support. The resilience of the synthetic foam ensures a return of the centraliser in its initial form after removal of the disc, which allows to reuse the support several times. In addition, the foam is flexible enough to accept a certain deformation during a passage in an automatic mail sorting machine.
BREVE DESCRIPTION DES DESSINSBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lumière de la description qui suit en référence à l'unique figure illustrant en perspective un support selon l'invention. DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION Le support selon l'invention comporte une carte 1 en carton ondulé, de forme carrée. La longueur des côtés de la carte est de préférence légèrement supérieure au diamètre des plus grands disques numériques qu'elle est destinée à recevoir. The invention will be better understood in the light of the description which follows with reference to the single figure illustrating in perspective a support according to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The support according to the invention comprises a card 1 of corrugated cardboard, of square shape. The length of the sides of the card is preferably slightly larger than the diameter of the largest digital discs it is intended to receive.
Au centre de la carte 1 est collé un centreur 2, formé d'une pastille de mousse synthétique élastiquement déformable, ici une mousse de polyuréthane. Le centreur 2 a un diamètre légèrement supérieur au diamètre de l'orifice central des disques. In the center of the card 1 is bonded a centralizer 2, formed of a pad of elastically deformable synthetic foam, here a polyurethane foam. The centralizer 2 has a diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the central orifice of the disks.
Sur la face de la carte 1 qui reçoit le centreur 2 est collée une couche de protection 3 annulaire qui s'étend autour du centreur 2. Ici, la couche 3 est découpée dans de la feutrine mince, puis collée sur la carte 1. On the face of the card 1 which receives the centralizer 2 is bonded an annular protective layer 3 which extends around the centralizer 2. Here, the layer 3 is cut in thin felt, then stuck on the card 1.
L'utilisation du support de l'invention est la suivante: on rapporte l'orifice central du disque D sur le centreur 2, comme indiqué par la flèche F, et on en-fonce le disque D jusqu'à ce que la face du disque en regard du support soit en appui contre la couche de protection 3. The use of the support of the invention is as follows: the central orifice of the disk D is brought back to the centering device 2, as indicated by the arrow F, and the disk D is driven in until the disc facing the support is in abutment against the protective layer 3.
Lors d'une pression du disque D contre le sup- port, par exemple lors du passage de l'enveloppe contenant l'ensemble support/disque dans une machine de tri automatique, la couche de protection 3 génère, par frottement contre la face du disque en regard, un effort résistant à toute sollicitation tendant à faire tourner le disque sur le support. Le disque étant ainsi empêché de tourner, de sorte que les risques de rayure du disque sont notablement diminués. During a pressure of the disk D against the support, for example during the passage of the envelope containing the support / disk assembly in an automatic sorting machine, the protective layer 3 generates, by friction against the face of the facing disc, a force resistant to any solicitation tending to rotate the disc on the support. The disc is thus prevented from rotating, so that the risk of scratching the disc are significantly reduced.
Le déposant a réalisé des supports adaptés aux disques DVD selon l'exemple décrit ci-dessus, qui, avec 35 le disque, pèsent moins de 35 grammes. L'ensemble sup- port/disque peut ainsi être envoyé par lettre simple, en bénéficiant donc des tarifs postaux avantageux associés aux lettres simples. The applicant has made suitable supports for the DVD discs according to the example described above, which together with the disc weigh less than 35 grams. The support / disk assembly can thus be sent by simple letter, thus benefiting from the advantageous postal rates associated with simple letters.
L'invention n'est pas limitée à ce qui vient d'être décrit, mais bien au contraire englobe toute va-riante entrant dans le cadre défini par les revendications. The invention is not limited to what has just been described, but on the contrary encompasses any variant falling within the scope defined by the claims.
En particulier, bien que la carte décrite soit en carton ondulé, on pourra utiliser tout autre matériau, du type papier fort, carton ou similaire. In particular, although the card described is made of corrugated cardboard, it will be possible to use any other material, such as paper, cardboard or the like.
Bien que le centreur soit ici une pastille de mousse, on pourra utiliser tout autre type de centreur, de préférence choisi suffisamment souple pour permettre le passage du support et d'un disque dans une machine de tri automatique. Although the centering device is here a foam pellet, it will be possible to use any other type of centralizer, preferably chosen sufficiently flexible to allow the passage of the support and a disk in an automatic sorting machine.
Bien que la couche de protection soit ici une couche rapportée découpée dans de la feutrine mince, on pourra utiliser tout autre type de matériau susceptible de générer des frottements sur le disque, sans toutefois endommager celui-ci. Il pourra par exemple s'agir d'une couche élastomère revêtant l'une des faces de la carte. Although the protective layer is here an insert layer cut in thin felt, one can use any other type of material may generate friction on the disc, without damaging it. It may for example be an elastomeric layer coating one of the faces of the card.
On pourra bien sûr prévoir un support pour plu-sieurs disques, les disques pouvant être portés sur une même face de la carte ou sur les deux faces, la carte pouvant par ailleurs comporter des volets. One can of course provide a support for several discs, the discs can be worn on the same face of the card or on both sides, the card may also include flaps.
