JPH10228745A - Disk shaped recording medium setting jig - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent fat or the like due to a hand work from being stuck on a medium by providing pawls for holding a disk shaped recording medium at the inside of a column at whose bottom part tapers are provided so as to be engaged with the center hole of the medium and making the medium settable or resettable in the drive of a player without touching it directly while opening or closing the pawls. SOLUTION: When a movable part 12 is depressed by fitting the column 17 of a jig 10 of a disk shaped recording medium to the projecting part 31 of the case 30 of a disk shaped recording medium 20, the projecting part 31 is pushed to the inside by tapers 14 provided at the bottom part of the column 17 and the medium 20 becomes a state in which it can be taken out. Simultaneously, a mechanism 15 opening or closing the pawls being in the inside of the column 17 at the bottom part of the movable part 12 is also depressed to open the pawls 13 to the outside to pinch the hole of the medium 20 and lifts the whole of the setting jig 10 by passing the pawls 13 from gaps between grooves and takes out the medium 20 to set it in the drive unit of the player. Moreover, the medium 20 is returned to the case 30 similarly at the time of returning it to the case 30 from the drive unit of the player.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a jig for setting a disc-shaped recording medium used for attaching or detaching a disc-shaped recording medium from a disc-shaped recording medium case to a player.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, large-capacity video and audio data has been widely used in disk-shaped recording media, that is, CDs, LDs, and DVDs, for recording and reading out of computers, for karaoke, for videos, and the like. When setting a recording medium, a person took it out by hand and set it in the player's drive unit.

[0003] When taken out by hand, there has been a problem that fat content of a person adheres to the disk-shaped recording medium and stains the recording surface, making it impossible to read the data or causing a problem such as skipping.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, that is, to provide a jig which can be set and reset on a player's drive without directly touching a disk-shaped recording medium. It is to be.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a grip portion, a column having a tapered lower portion so as to fit into a center hole of the disk-shaped recording medium, and holding the disk-shaped recording medium inside the column. A jig for setting a disk-shaped recording medium having a claw for closing the claw, and a mechanism for opening and closing the claw for closing and opening the claw.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view for explaining an example of a jig for setting a disc-shaped recording medium according to the present invention. FIG. 1 (a) shows a state in which a disc-shaped recording medium (20) is taken out by the setting jig. (B) is a view for explaining a state in which the disc-shaped recording medium (20) is taken out below the column (17), and (c) is a view explaining the disc-shaped recording medium (20) below the column (17). It is a figure explaining the state before taking out.

FIG. 2 is an external view of a disk-shaped recording medium case (30).

Conventionally, when the disk-shaped recording medium is taken out from the disk-shaped recording medium case (30), the projection (31) is pushed to release the disk-shaped recording medium from the state fitted in the hole at the center of the disk-shaped recording medium, and then taken out by hand. ing. At this time, fat may adhere to the disc-shaped recording medium.

According to the present invention, a disc-shaped recording medium case (30) is provided under a column (17) of a jig for setting a disc-shaped recording medium.
Push the projection (31) of the inner side to make the projection (31)
The taper (14) is formed in order to release the state in which is fitted in the hole at the center of the disc-shaped recording medium (20). When the column (17) is pressed in accordance with the projection (31), the projection (31) is pushed inward, and the disk-shaped recording medium (20) can be taken out.

After being in a state where it can be taken out, the column (1)
7) The claw (13) provided inside is opened outward to enlarge it, the hole of the disc-shaped recording medium is grasped, and the entire set jig is lifted up through the claw (13) from between the grooves (32) to disc-shaped recording. The medium (20) is taken out and set in the drive unit of the player.

The claw (13) is opened and closed by a mechanism (15) provided in the cylinder (17) for opening and closing the claw. The mechanism (15) for opening and closing the pawl is connected to a movable part (12) provided on a grip (11) of a jig for setting a disc-shaped recording medium, and moves the movable part (12) up and down. The claw (13) provided at the lower part of the cylinder (17) is opened and closed with.

An elastic body (1) for assisting a mechanism for opening and closing
6) is for pulling back the claws to return the claws (13) from the opened state to the original closed state, and is a resilient part such as a spring or rubber, and is formed of a cylinder (17) near the base of the claws. The outer frame is connected inside.

The same operation may be performed when returning the disc-shaped recording medium from the player's drive unit to the disc-shaped recording medium case.

[0014]

Since the disk-shaped recording medium is not directly touched by the hand, fat does not adhere and troubles caused by the fat are eliminated.

When the disc-shaped recording medium is handled and removed from the disc-shaped recording medium case by hand, the disc-shaped recording medium may be distorted or sometimes broken. Since a force is uniformly applied to the hole at the center of the recording medium, the moment is reduced, and such a fear is eliminated.
