Abstract

A compact disk receiving device includes a base having a plurality of engaging members extending from a surface of the base and the engaging members are arranged as a circle. At least two of the engaging members each have at least two protrusions extending from an outer periphery thereof and the at least two protrusions are located at different distances from the surface of the base. At least two compact disks are mounted to the engaging members and are separated by the at least two protrusions.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a compact disk receiving device having a plurality of engaging members extending from a surface of the base of the device and each engaging member having a plurality of protrusions so that compact disks are positioned between the protrusions. [0001]
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • A conventional compact disk receiving device is shown in FIG. 1 and generally includes a base with three [0002] engaging members 11 extending from a top surface thereof, and a cover which can be mounted to the base 10. The engaging members 11 are located as a circle and are able to be pushed inward so that a compact disk is mounted to the engaging members 11. An inner periphery of the hole of the compact disk is urged by the outward force of the engaging members 11 so as to held the compact disk. A soft ring 12 is connected to the top surface of the base 10 so that the surface of the compact disk will not be scraped. Only one compact disk is allowed to be engaged with the engaging members 11. If another compact disk is to be received, another three engaging members 11 are required to be connected to the receiving device at proper positions. FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the compact disks receiving device wherein a post 14 extends from the top surface of the base 13 and a cap 15 is to be engaged with a top end of the post 14. A cover 16 is mounted to the base 13 to enclose the compact disks mounted to the post 14. However, the compact disks on the post 14 are not positioned properly so that any two adjacent surfaces of two consecutive compact disks could be scraped with each other.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a compact disk receiving device which comprises a base having a plurality of engaging members extending from a surface of the base and at least two of the engaging members each have at least two protrusions extending from an outer periphery thereof. The at least two protrusions are located at different distances from the surface of the base so as to separate two compact disks mounted to the engaging members. [0003]
  • The primary object of the present invention is to provide a compact disk receiving device that allow plural compact disks to be received and the compact disks are separated from each other. [0004]
  • The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.[0005]

  • FIG. 10 is a cross sectional view to show the arrangement of the protrusions on the engaging members of the present invention as shown in FIG. 9.[0015]
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Referring to FIGS. [0016] 3 to 5, the compact disk receiving device of the present invention comprises a base 20 having a plurality of engaging members 30 extending from a surface of the base 20 and the engaging members 30 are arranged as a circle. A soft support member 22 which is a circuit member extends from the surface of the base 20 and the engaging members 30 are enclosed by the soft support member 22.
  • Three [0017] engaging members 30 which are respectively located at 90-degree position, 210-degree position, and 230-degree position in the circle of the engaging members 30 each have two protrusions 50 extending from an outer periphery thereof. The protrusions 50 of each of the three engaging members 30 are located at different distances from the surface of the base 20. As shown in FIG. 6, two compact disks 40 are mounted to the engaging members 30 by their central holes 41 and the lower one of the compact disks 40 is supported on the soft support member 22 and the protrusions 52 are located between the two compact disks 40. The upper one of the compact disks 40 is secured between the two protrusions 50 and 52. By this arrangement, either of the two compact disks 40 is not scraped.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show that there are 12 [0018] engaging members 301 to 312 on the base 20. The engaging members 301, 305, 309 each have two protrusions 501 and 511 at different height positions. The engaging members 302, 306, 310 each have two protrusions 502 and 512 at different height positions. The engaging members 303, 307, 311 each have two protrusions 503 and 513 at different height positions. As shown in FIG. 8, six compact disks can be mounted to the engaging members 301 to 312, and the six compact disks are separated by these protrusions 501, 511, 502, 512, 503, 513.
  • Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, according to the arrangement of the protrusions shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the [0019] engaging members 304, 308, 312 each have two protrusions 504 and 514 at different height positions. This arrangement allows up to 12 compact disks to be mounted and secured on the engaging members.
  • The protrusions of the present invention effectively separate the compact disks from being scraped with each other. [0020]
  • While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. [0021]
