Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive press contact support only at the circumference of a disk by arranging a grating in the opening side in a chamber, arranging a 1st and 2nd disk guides divisibly in the chamber and constituting a disk storage section supporting a disk loaded through the window nearly in parallel with at each prescribed storage position. CONSTITUTION:Side walls 4, 5 are placed adjacently and the guide 6 supporting the circumferential ridge of the disk A over both the side walls 4, 5 in a chamber is arranged in parallel and at an equal interval with a slight intermission for the disk guides arranged in a line for plurality. The guide 12 to guide and support the circumferential ridge of the disk A in cooperation with the guide 6 and plural disk guides 13 in a line are provided to the side wall 11. A guide slot is provided at the outer face of the side wall 11 and plural slits 15a leading to the guide slot are formed in a line between the guides 12, 12 provided in the chamber of a disk magazine. Since only the circumferential ridge of the disk is supported to the support slightly while being in press contact therewith, the recording face of the disk receives no damage.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a disc magazine that stores a plurality of discs.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art A disc player is known that automatically selects an arbitrary disc from among a plurality of discs and automatically plays the discs continuously. Such a disc player is provided with a disc changer mechanism. That is, when a disc magazine containing a plurality of discs is removably attached to this disc changer mechanism, automatic disc changing operation becomes possible, and the above-mentioned continuous automatic performance can be performed. Traditional disc magazines are
A plurality of thin resin plates are successively stretched parallel to each other at equal intervals to form a plurality of parallel partitioned spaces inside the box, and these partitioned spaces are used to place discs. It was designed to be used as a shelf.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Incidentally, this type of disk magazine is sometimes used in places that are prone to high temperatures, such as in cars. In this case, if the thin resin plate that forms the shelf for placing the disc is deformed by heat, this temporary resin plate is stretched inside the box, so the slight bending will cause the disc to be inserted or not. This makes it difficult to take out the disc, and in some cases, there is a risk of damaging the recording surface of the disc when taking it out.

[Means for solving problems]

In the disc magazine of the present invention, a grid in which a plurality of windows through which one disc can be inserted and taken out is arranged in a row is arranged on the opening side of the box body, and the disc is inserted through each window in the grid. Two disc guides, each consisting of a plurality of guides arranged in a row that guide the circumferential edge of each disc from both sides of the lattice and support it in cooperation with the lattice, are divided and placed inside the box, and each disc is are supported substantially parallel to each other at predetermined storage positions.

[Effect]

The disc magazine of the present invention does not have a structure in which a resin plate is stretched inside the interior of the box, but a guide and a window for guiding and supporting the periphery of the disc are provided inside the interior of the box, and when inserting and removing the disc, Only the periphery of the disk is abutted and supported when stored.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the lid shown in the same embodiment as seen from the indoor side, and FIG.
The figure is a principle diagram of the same embodiment.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a lattice forming an entrance/exit in the room of the disc magazine, and a plurality of windows 2 through which one disc can be inserted and taken out are arranged in a row. This window 2 is formed to be wide at the center and narrow toward both ends, so that when a disc is inserted, the vicinity of both ends of the window 2 only slightly contact the periphery of the disc. The central part of the disc is formed so that it does not come into contact with the disc, so that the recording surface of the disc will not be damaged when the disc is inserted or removed. Reference numeral 3 denotes a disk magazine main body mainly composed of a bottom portion, and has side walls 4.5 forming the interior of the disk magazine. This side wall 4.5 is adjacent to a disk guide 7.7 in which a plurality of guides 6 for guiding and supporting the peripheral edge of the disk are disposed in a row across the both side walls 4.5. They are arranged at equal intervals and separated by a small distance. A temporary spring 8 is fitted in a slightly separated space between the two disc guides 7.7. This temporary spring 8 has a form in which small leaf springs 9 divided corresponding to each guide 6 are arranged in a line. 1o is a lid body, and this lid body 10 is provided with a side wall 11 that forms the interior of the disk magazine.

A disk guide 13 is disposed on the side wall 11, and includes a plurality of guides 12 arranged in a row for guiding and supporting the peripheral edge of the disk A in cooperation with the guide 6. A guide groove 15 is provided on the outer surface of the side wall 11. - On the other hand, between each guide 12 and 12 provided in the chamber of the disk magazine, there is a slit 1 that communicates with the guide groove 15.
5a are formed in a row. A slider 14 has a knob 16 for operation at one end, and a push piece 17 at the other end for abutting against the periphery of the disc A to push the disc A out of the room. 18 is a temporary presser foot, and slit 1
It has a slit 19 corresponding to 5a. And each guide a! A slider 14 is housed in #15 so as to be movable along this groove, and the push-out piece 17 projects into the room through the slit 15a, and the knob 16 projects into the outdoor surface through the slit 19. The slider 14 is held by a presser foot 18. The disk magazine is formed by assembling the lattice 1 on the entrance (exit) side of the main body 3, covering it with a lid 10, storing the slider 14 in a guide groove 15, and covering it with a presser plate 18. Next, the operation when storing the disk A inside the disk magazine and the operation when pushing the disk A out of the disk magazine will be explained.

When the disc A is inserted through the window 2 of the grid 1, the periphery of the disc A presses against the leaflet spring 9.

Then, when the disk A is further inserted, the small plate spring 9 is restored and the disk A is placed in a stacked state with its periphery supported by the window 2 of the grid 1, the guide 6, and the guide 12, and is placed inside the disk magazine. will be stored in. Next, knob 16
When the slider 14 is operated and moved from the position shown by the solid line to the position shown by the broken line, the periphery of the disk A presses against the small plate spring 9,
Subsequently, as the Kosaka blade 9 is restored, the disk A is pushed out of the disk magazine.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the disk magazine of the present invention, only the periphery of the disk is slightly abutted and supported by the support member when inserting and removing the disk, or when storing the disk, so that it is difficult to use when used under high temperatures. , the support member inside the magazine chamber is less likely to bend due to heat. Even in the rare case of bending, the recording surface of the disc will not be damaged when inserting or ejecting the disc (and, of course, it will not become difficult to insert or remove the disc ()). This has the equivalent effect of significantly improving the hindrance.
