Definitions

  • the present invention relates to storage devices and organisers.
  • the present invention pertains to accessories for handling and retrieving storage media discs.
  • storage media disc holders are introduced to consumers to address the organisation and retrieval of storage media disc. Although most of the storage media disc holders economise on the overall storage space of consumers' growing collection discs, they are difficult to use and prone to scratching the surfaces of storage media discs.
  • the present storage media disc holder features a sloping wedge for receiving and guiding any disc without scratching its surfaces, a clip extending laterally for retaining the stored disc securely, and a hook for facilitating the viewing and retrieving of the stored disc.
  • the wedge consumes less raw material than the trays of other storage media holders
  • the present storage media disc holder is light weight and allows the consumer to handle the entire subassembly easily.
  • the present storage media disc holder also alleviates any worry that the disc would fall out accidentally.
  • FIG.1 shows a prior art storage media disc holder having a tray surface which is flushed with the disc when the latter is stored therein.
  • FIG. 2A is a top, plan elevational view of the storage media disc holder of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2B is a cross section, elevational view according to section A-A where the sloping wedge is highlighted.
  • FIG. 2C is a bottom plan elevational view of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2D is a top, perspective, elevational view of the storage media disc holder of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross section elevational view of an alternate embodiment of the storage media disc holder where multiple storage media discs are stored.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a storage system for holding multiple storage media discs of the present invention where the consumer can index and view the labels of the stored discs easily.
  • FIG.1 shows a prior art storage media disc holder 10 having a tray surface 26 which is flushed with a storage media disc 5 when the latter is stored therein.
  • the holder 10 usually has a semi circular tray area 12 which has an uniform cross sectional area over the entire tray. Not only does it make the holder 10 heavy, the flush surface 26 tends to scratch the surface of the disc 5 as the consumer takes it in and out of the holder 10. Over time, the quality of replay of the disc 5 deteriorates as scratches over its surface accumulate.
  • the prior art holder 10 features a semi circular wall 18 which has over its top edge retainers 20, 22, and 24 respectively for retaining the disc within the holder.
  • a handle 14 with a through hole 16 is also disposed on the external edge of the wall 18 for coupling with a storage system (not shown in FIG. 1) for organising a collection of storage media discs. It should be understood by one skilled in the art that the handle 14 requires the consumer to unscrew the bolt threaded through the hole 16 before the handle 10 can be removed.
  • FIG. 2A is a top, plan elevational view of the storage media disc holder 30 of the present invention.
  • the holder 30 comprises a wedge 32 which terminates with a quasi circular wall 38, a handle 34 which terminates in a hook 36, at least two retainers 40 and 42, and a clip 44.
  • the wedge 32 is contoured to take up less area than the tray.
  • the wedge is shaped such that the front edge of a storage media disc (not shown in FIGS. 2A - 2D) will always touch a landing area 46 on the wedge 32 before the other parts of the same disc contact the retainers 40 and 42. This is possible because the wedge 32 is sloped at an angle as illustrated in FIG.
  • the advantage of featuring the sloping wedge 32 as compared to larger and flat tray area 12 of the prior art holder is that consumer will be able guide any storage media disc into the holder 30 without much effort.
  • the prior art holder 10 in FIG. 1 requires consumers to aim for the opposing retainers 20 and 24 simultaneously before one can insert the disc into the holder. It is well known that a coplanar insertion of a disc into a holder is always more difficult because it requires superior hand and eye coordination.
  • the holder 30 with the sloping wedge 32 of the present invention permits less skillful consumers to insert storage media disc into the holder by first letting the front edge of a disc contact the landing area 46, lowering and guiding the disc such that it can be inserted between the retainers 40 and 42.
  • the storage media disc holder 30 of the present invention has the handle 34 for consumer to handle disc conveniently and without touch physically the surface thereof.
  • the handle 34 terminates in the hook 36 for easy removing and insertion of the holder and disc assembly into a storage system 80 as better shown in FIG. 4.
  • two retainers 40 and 42 for minimising the traverse movements of the stored disc (not shown in FIGS. 2A - 2D).
  • the clip 44 Extending laterally from the quasi circular wall 38 and the retainer 42 is the clip 44.
  • the tip of the clip 44 extends pass a imaginary semi circular dividing line (not shown in FIGS. 2A - 2D) of the stored disc (also not shown in FIGS.
  • the clip 44 permits consumer to use the holder 30 with the storage disc (not shown in FIGS. 2A - 2D) without worrying the disc will drop out accidentally.
  • the clip 44 is shown in FIGS 2A - 2D to be located on the upper edge of the quasi circular wall 38, one skilled in the art should understand that it could be located at the lower edge of the quasi circular wall.
  • the quasi circular wall 38 may be substituted with a retaining post, for example.
  • FIGS. 2B - 2D are alternate views of the storage media disc holder 30 of the present invention. It should be appreciated that holder 30 consumes less raw material in its production than prior art holders. As such, it is light in weight and allows the consumer better control in handling the stored discs.
  • FIGS. 2A - 2D show an embodiment of the storage media disc holder capable of storing one disc, it should be understood by one skilled in the art that the disc holder 30 can be modified to store multiple discs.
  • FIG. 3 discloses a cross section elevational view of an alternate embodiment of a storage media disc holder 50 where multiple storage media discs 65 are stored therein at the same time. This second embodiment is suitable for storing Video CD titles which usually come in dual discs.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a storage system 80 for holding multiple storage media discs of the present invention where the consumer can index and view the labels of the stored discs easily.
  • the system 80 comprises a top and bottom cover 82 and 84 respectively, and a rod 86 for accommodating multiple storage media disc holders 30. It should be understood by one skilled in the art that the system 80 may be expand to accommodate more storage media discs and also be stacked on top of one another.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 While the present invention has been described particularly with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 with emphasis on a storage media disc holder and a system for storing and retrieving such disc easily, it should be understood that the figures are for illustration only and should not be taken a limitation on the invention. In addition, it is clear that the disc holder and system of the present invention have utility in many applications where organisation of storage media discs is required. It is contemplated that many changes and modifications may be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and the scope of the invention as described.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un porte-disque de stockage, comprenant une partie incurvée destinée à recevoir et à guider un disque quelconque sans rayer ses surfaces, une bride s'étendant latéralement destinée à retenir le disque de stocké de manière sûre, et un crochet qui facilite l'insertion et l'extraction du disque stocké. Du fait que la partie incurvée utilise moins de matière première que les plateaux des porte-disques de stockage connus de la technique, le porte-disque de stockage de l'invention est léger et permet à l'utilisateur de manipuler facilement la totalité du sous-ensemble. Le porte-disque de stockage, combiné avec la bride, évite la chute accidentelle du disque.
