Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cover for a disc-shaped information storage medium comprising protective devices which protect the information storage medium against dust and contact.
- the cover for the disc-shaped information storage medium includes all types of cover for information storage media, such as magnetic disc, hard disc, compact disc (CD), laser disc, video disc, optical disc and similar units.
- the cover for the disc-shaped information storage medium according to the invention is given the characteristics stated in the claims and explained below, from which it follows that the main feature of the invention consists in the fact that the information storage medium (1) is arranged within a cover comprising protective devices (2a, 2b) and a control element (8), which co-operates with a control device (16) provided at the recording/playback arrangement in such a manner that, when the cover is inserted, control element (8) of the protective device arranged at the recording/playback arrangement engages so as to bring about a position in which the openings in casing (6, 7) coincide with the openings provided in protective device (4, 5) for access to the information storage medium.
- control element (8) of protective devices (2a, 2b) is guided by the control device arranged at the recording/playback arrangement to a position where the openings in casing (6, 7) are covered, whereby the information storage medium (1) is protected against contact and dust.
- Fig. 1 shows a cover for the disc-shaped information storage medium according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a cover in the open position and a cover in the protected position according to the invention
- Fig. 3 shows a cover during insertion and withdrawal from the recording/playback arrangement.
- Fig. 1 shows a cover according to the invention.
- Information storage medium (1) is arranged between two connected protective devices (2)/ (2a, 2b) as well as a casing (3) /(3a, 3b) enclosing said protective devices.
- the protective devices are provided with openings (4, 5) for access to the information storage medium.
- (2a, 2b) are arranged in a casing (3)/(3a, 3b) provided with openings (6, 7) which coincide with the openings (4, 5) for access to the information storage medium (1).
- the casing is also provided with index holes (13)/(13a, 13b) coinciding in the open position with index holes (14)/(14a, 14b) arranged in protective devices (2) /(2a, 2b).
- the cover is also provided with a registration hole (15)/ (15a, 15b).
- the protective device(s) (2) /(2a, 2b) is/are provided with at least one control element arranged on the flat side of the protective device. Said control element projects through a control opening (9).
- each protective device may be provided with only one control element arranged on the flat side of one protective device. If the protective devices (2a/2b) are not connected with one another, each protective device, respectively, is provided with a control element (8) arranged on the flat side opposite the casing. Each control element (8), respectively, projects through each control opening (9)/(9a, 9b) arranged on either flat side of casing (3).
- a control device (16) is arranged at the recording/playback arrangement's opening for insertion/withdrawal of information storage medium (1).
- Said control device (16) comprises a rail (17) arranged at an angle ( ⁇ ).
- the longitudinal opening (17) of the rail is arranged opposite the flat side of the casing.
- the rail is also provided with an opening (18) for entry of the control element by means of which the control device is turned to the open position when the cover is inserted - i. e. the position for access to the information storage medium - and into a protected position - i. e. a position in which the information storage medium is entirely protected against contact since the protective devices cover the access openings.
- Fig. 2 shows a cover in the open position and a cover in the protected position according to the invention.
- control elements (8) of protective devices (2) /(2a, 2b) displace said protective devices in such a way as to ensure that the openings (6, 7) for access to information storage medium (1) and the index holes arranged in the casing (13)/ (13a, 13b), coincide with openings (4, 5) (for access to the information storage medium) and with the index holes (14)/ (14a/ 14b) arranged in the protective devices.
- the information storage medium (1) is accessible to a playback read and/or write head.
- control element (8) of protective devices (2a/2b) displace said protective devices (2) from the openings (6, 7) and (13), whereby said openings are protected against dust and contact.
- Fig. 3 shows a cover during introduction and withdrawal from the recording/playback arrangement.
- Fig. 3(a) shows a cover (3) according to the invention comprising an information storage medium (1) arranged between two protective devices (2)/ (2a, 2b).
- a control device (16) is arranged at the opening of the recording/playback arrangement.
- Said controlling device comprises a rail (17) arranged at an angle ( ⁇ ).
- Rail (17) is provided with an opening (18) for entry of control element (8) of the protective device.
- openings (4, 5) of the protective devices coincide with the openings in the casing.
- Control element (8) of the protective device is pulled along the rail until the protective device is turned, through control opening (9) in casing (3) to the open position - i. e. the position for access to the information storage medium.
- control element (8) of the protective unit (2) is pulled along control device (16) arranged at the recording/playback arrangement through rail (17) until the protective devices (2)/ (2a, 2b) have been turned so as to cover the openings in the casing, whereby the information storage medium (1) is protected against contact and dust.
