Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a device for storing recording media such as floppy disks, cassettes, compact discs, often referred to as laser discs or more simply "CDs", whatever the type of recording. , IT, audio, photo, video or multimedia. These recording media are more and more widespread and at present almost everyone has a certain number of these near their computer, whether in the office or at home, near their stereo chain. fi or its video recorder and the need for storage facilities is growing. To this end, many storage devices are currently available commercially. These devices are usually in the form of small shelves comprising two parallel uprights, partitions arranged parallel to each other between these uprights so as to form cells in which can be inserted the boxes or the pockets protecting the recording media and a fund.
- WO 95 19036 proposes for example compact disc storage devices having the general appearance of a musical instrument such as a guitar or a banjo.
- the device consists of a central part consisting of a beam, the section of which has the overall shape of a flattened ⁇ , open towards the rear of the device, generally arranged vertically and of flat decoration elements simulating the head of the handle. and the body portions arranged on either side of the strings.
- Both curved portions which border the opening of the beam constitute stiffeners ensuring its rigidity Cutouts simulating the bars arranged on the sleeves of the string instruments are formed in the front face constituted by the closed part of the beam; these cutouts are arranged perpendicular to the axis of the beam and are of a height such that a compact disc storage box can be inserted therein until it is pressed against the curved portions of the beam
- the disadvantage of this device is that the compact disc boxes positioned in the central storage portion of the device are not protected and can be subjected to shocks, it is even possible that they fall from the storage device if they are pushed from the side
- the Applicant has therefore sought to propose a storage device which is more playful so as to bring a touch of humor to the serious world of compact discs and which is such that the compact disc boxes are better protected from shocks in order to be likely to be used in the living room as well as in the office or in the bedrooms of adolescents or even children who increasingly have their own hi-fi equipment
- the invention provides a storage device for recording media consisting of an element allowing the storage of recorded media and decoration accessories, characterized in that it has a playful appearance giving it the appearance of a toy, the body of said toy comprising a housing of substantially rectangular shape having the width of the recording media to be stored, at the bottom of which are arranged cells intended to receive said recording media, which are, at least partly, recessed so as to be partially protected
- the device according to the invention is also remarkable in that
- the body comprises two longitudinal lateral faces, two transverse end faces, a bottom defining said housing and partitions, arranged parallel to each other, defining between them the cells,
- the accessories intended to decorate the body give the device the appearance of a tree, - the accessory is a head,
- the accessory is an upper or front member such as an arm, a hand or a front leg,
- the accessory is a lower or rear member such as a leg, a foot or a rear leg, - the body and the accessories carry complementary attachment means from one another arranged parallel to one another, so as to allow easy assembly and disassembly,
- the attachment means carried by the body are distributed over its longitudinal and transverse lateral faces, - the attachment means carried by the body are constituted by openings intended to be crossed by lugs constituting the attachment means carried by the accessories,
- the body is curved and simulates the body of a living being
- One of the transverse end faces of the body is much smaller in size than the other transverse face.
- FIG. 1 is a front view of a storage device according to a first embodiment
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the device of Figure 1
- FIG. 3 is a side view of a device according to a second exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a device according to a third embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 5 is a side view of the body of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 6 is a view in longitudinal section of the body of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 7 is a view along arrow VII of FIG. 6 of a body provided with two feet
- FIG. 8 is a view in partial section showing the bottom of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 9 is a view along the line IX-IX in FIG. 8 of foot 22.
- the storage device has a playful appearance giving it the appearance of a toy. It can have the appearance of a real or imaginary living being such as a character, an animal, as represented in the drawing, an insect, a fish, a bird or even the appearance of a tree or even of a vehicle, etc.
- the device according to the invention is composed of an element allowing the storage of the recorded supports constituted by the body 1 of the toy on which are arranged decoration accessories such as a head 20, an upper or front limb 21 for example an arm, a hand or a front leg, a lower or rear limb 22 for example a leg, a foot or a rear leg.
- decoration accessories such as a head 20, an upper or front limb 21 for example an arm, a hand or a front leg, a lower or rear limb 22 for example a leg, a foot or a rear leg.
- the accessory 20 can be a hood and the accessories 21 and 22 of the wheels.
- the body 1 comprises a housing of substantially rectangular shape having the width of the recording media to be stored at the bottom of which are arranged cells intended to receive said recording media.
- the boxes of the recorded supports are at least partly embedded in the housing and therefore protected from shocks and risks of slipping.
- the housing comprises two longitudinal lateral faces 10, two transverse end faces 11 and 12, a bottom 13, constituting the housing and partitions 14 arranged parallel to each other defining the cells 15 therebetween.
- cells having different heights can be proposed for the positioning of cases containing the recording media which have different heights as for example for compact discs which are placed either in a cardboard envelope or in a plastic box or boxes with several discs.
- the different faces of the body 1 have been shown solid in the accompanying drawing, but we will not depart from the present invention by cutting them out or replacing them with simple uprights constituting a frame.
- the edge 17 of the longitudinal side faces 10 which is opposite the bottom 13 is not straight and the ends of said longitudinal side faces close of the transverse face 1 1 are much smaller in size than the ends close to the transverse wall 12 Similarly, the transverse face 11 is much smaller than the transverse face 12
- the partitions 14 have a rounded outline at their free end
- the bottoms 16 of the cells created between the partitions 14 are then arranged in such a way that the cells are all of the same depth and that the free ends of the partitions are on a curve parallel to the external edge 17 of the longitudinal side faces 10.
- FIG. 6 shows an exemplary embodiment in which the body 1 is obtained by molding in the form of a hollow box with thin walls The bottom 13 of such a body 1 is then constituted by the bottoms 16 of the cells 15
- the body 1 can be used in vertical position as shown in Figures 1 to 3, being positioned with either the small transverse face 1 1 (Figures 1 and 2), or the large transverse face 12 ( Figure 3) upwards
- the body 1 can also be used in a horizontal position as shown in Figure 4, the head 20 can of course be positioned either against the small transverse face 11 or against the large transverse face 12 In the latter case.
- an accessory representing a tail can be added on the transverse face opposite to the head to represent an animal
- the curve given to the body 1 makes it possible to simulate a belly or a prominent bust
- the body 1 and the said accessories carry attachment means 3 and 4 complementary to each other, so as to allow easy assembly and disassembly
- the attachment means carried by the body 1 are distributed over its longitudinal and transverse lateral faces.
- more than two attachment means 3 are arranged on a longitudinal lateral face 10 of the body in order to allow the positioning of the accessories forming the upper limbs 21 or the lower limbs 22, whatever the arrangement of the body: vertical or horizontal
- the attachment means 3 are constituted by three openings 30 arranged in a triangle and intended to be crossed by the three lugs 41 constituting the attachment means carried by the accessories, a foot 22 in Figures 8 and 9.
- hooking means can of course be used, mention may be made of means which snap into each other or slides.
