Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a jig for sticking a label at an accurate position on the surface of a disc-shaped compact disc which is widely used for music and data recording.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of computers, various types of recording media have come to be provided, and even compact discs originally provided for music can be written to (CD-R) and rewritable. Namono (CD-R
W) has appeared. With the advent of such writable / rewritable compact discs, it has become possible for individuals to easily produce compact discs with their desired contents recorded at home.

When it becomes possible to make a compact disc on which audio, video, data, etc. are recorded, a label has been attached to the surface of the compact disc for the purpose of identifying the recorded contents or asserting originality. According to this new demand, a program that allows you to freely and easily design a donut-shaped label on your computer, or a sticking label that has a release paper with an adhesive applied on the back side in advance Printable sheets are now available.

However, it is difficult to attach the donut disc-shaped label to the surface of the compact disc accurately in a concentric circle. On the other hand, if the label is not attached accurately, not only the appearance is impaired but also the rotation of the compact disc is impossible. It becomes uniform, and reading failure and sound skipping occur,
As a result, it may even damage the motor.

Therefore, various jigs have been proposed for accurately attaching the label to the surface of the compact disc.
For example, in U.S. Pat.No. 5,543,001, a round rod-shaped support shaft is provided with a substantially cone-shaped support portion bulging in a direction perpendicular to the axis at the lower end thereof, and a support shaft is provided for a rotary bearing hole formed in the center of a compact disc. There is proposed a jig including a stick for supporting the compact disc by inserting from below and a columnar stand having a through hole for dropping the stick from above in the center. In this jig, a donut-shaped label with an arbitrary design printed on the front side is used, and the label back side with the adhesive applied is placed concentrically on the table with the back side facing up. By supporting the compact disc with a stick with the pasting surface facing down, and dropping the stick from above into the through hole in the center of the stand while supporting the compact disc,
A label is attached to the surface of the compact disc.

[0006]

However, in the labeling jig according to the above-mentioned US patent, it is not always easy to accurately and concentrically place the label on the table, and the label sticking position is easily displaced. was there. Also,
Since the stick had a structure that could not be securely held only by supporting the compact disc from below,
The label sticking position is not always easy because the compact disc is tilted when dropped on the table and the label sticking position is displaced, and the label cannot be stuck securely without touching the recording surface of the compact disc. It was SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the drawbacks of the conventional label sticking jig and to provide a jig that can stick a label on a compact disc more easily and accurately.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the purpose,
The inventor has made improvements to both the stick and the pedestal. That is, the label sticking jig according to the present invention is composed of a stick for holding the compact disc and a table for mounting the label, and the stick is
A lower part consisting of a support shaft inserted into a rotary bearing hole bored in the center of the compact disc, and a support part extending below the support shaft and having a diameter larger than that of the rotary bearing hole of the compact disc and bulging in a direction perpendicular to the axis. A holder and an upper holder that is detachably attached to the upper part of the support shaft, and
The base includes a base body having a vertical hole for dropping the lower holder of the stick and a horizontal surface part for mounting a label around the vertical hole, and an elastic body inserted in the vertical hole and having a lower part. And a support ring that can be moved up and down in the vertical hole from the protruding state to the same plane state with respect to the horizontal plane portion.

Therefore, in the label sticking jig according to the present invention, the label sticking work is performed by the following procedure. (1) First, with the recording surface of the compact disc as the upper surface, that is, the label sticking surface as the lower surface, insert the support shaft formed on the upper part of the lower holder from below into the rotary bearing hole of the compact disc, and then place the upper holder on the support shaft. Attach it to hold the compact disc. (2) Peel off the release paper on the back side of the preprinted label, and place the label on the horizontal surface of the table with the adhesive side facing up. At this time, by accurately inserting and projecting the support ring of the base into the central circular hole portion of the doughnut-shaped label, the label to be attached can be accurately positioned. (3) Holding the stick upper holder and inserting the lower end of the stick lower holder into the vertical hole of the stand from above,
The upper edge of the support ring protruding from the horizontal surface of the stand contacts the compact disc, so that the compact disc is supported with the label sticking surface of the compact disc and the sticky surface of the label at a certain distance. It (4) Then, push the upper holder of the stick downward,
The support ring of the table descends in the vertical hole of the table body, and the label attaching surface of the compact disc comes into close contact with the adhesive surface of the label to attach the label. (5) When the pressure on the upper holder is released, the restoring force of the elastic body causes the support ring to rise to the initial position in the vertical hole of the stand body, so the label placed on the horizontal surface of the stand By disappearing, it can be confirmed that the label is attached to the compact disc. (6) Finally, remove the stick consisting of the upper holder and the lower holder from the compact disc, and the label sticking work is completed.

Further, the label sticking jig according to the present invention is further improved so that the lower holder of the stick is formed into a substantially frame-like body having a guide hole on the extension line below the support shaft, while the center of the vertical hole in the base body is formed. A guide column inserted into the guide hole was erected.

Therefore, with this further improvement, the lower holder of the stick, which has a substantially frame-like tapered shape, can be easily inserted into the support ring of the table in the above-mentioned label attaching procedure (3), and the bottom surface of the table body can be easily inserted. Since the guide post standing upright from the vicinity in the center of the vertical hole is inserted into the guide hole bored in the stick lower holder, the compact disc works in combination with the support of the compact disc by the upper edge of the support ring of the stand. It is now possible to keep it in a horizontal position without tilting it and to bring it into complete contact with the label surface.
