Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for marking circular disk-shaped data carriers, in particular compact disks.
- the known recordable disk-shaped data carriers such as compact disks (CD-R) or digital versatile disks (DVD) have the data carrier coating on one side and the second side is used for labeling the data carrier.
- CD-R compact disks
- DVD digital versatile disks
- These data carriers are commercially available as so-called blanks, on which data are stored with the help of a CD burner. As soon as a blank has been burned, it is usually provided with a label or marking that indicates the stored content of the data carrier.
- a very common method of marking burnt discs is to stick the printed disc surface on top with a printed, circular, mostly self-adhesive film.
- a layout which can consist of graphics and writing, is first designed with the help of a special computer program, and then the film is printed with it.
- These foils or labels are arranged on a carrier foil and pre-punched. After removing a printed, circular self-adhesive label, it must be stuck onto the disc concentrically. Gluing the disks with such films is optically an excellent solution, but it creates some problems in practice. Although there are aids for sticking on, it takes some dexterity to stick the film onto the data medium exactly and without bubbles.
- the storage means for the rotatable relative movement between the template and the data carrier around the center of the data carrier ensure that the characters are aligned in a circular arc.
- the device according to the invention is not only suitable for labeling compact disks or mini disks as digital data carriers, but in certain cases also for labeling analog vinyl records.
- the device is particularly advantageously suitable for marking data carriers with a central opening if the template has a bearing opening, the diameter of which is adapted in this way to the diameter of the central opening on the data carrier is that the template can be rotatably placed on a holder penetrating the central opening.
- CD 's are stored in a CD case, which is provided with a flexible holder for the relatively rotationally fixed fixing of the CD to the central opening. In this way, the template can be placed on the CD holder with the CD case open, the template being guided and centered at the bearing opening.
- the template is advantageously also in the form of a circular disk, its outer diameter being at least approximately the same size or larger than that of the data carrier and the bearing opening being arranged in the center.
- the template itself is similar to a commercially available compact disk and, like this, can be stored in a cassette.
- the template it would also be easily conceivable for the template to have a different outer configuration, the outer edge possibly also serving as a template for the lines.
- the template is preferably provided with spacer elements on its side facing the data carrier, in order to avoid underwriting and blurring of the labeling liquid.
- the spacer elements preferably have the shape of an inner spacer ring surrounding the bearing opening and an outer spacer ring surrounding the characteristics. In this way, even with a relative rotation, the spacer elements cannot cause the labeling that has already been blurred.
- the device can have a carrier element with a holder penetrating the central opening of the data carrier, at least when the template is attached, the data carrier can be connected to the carrier element in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the non-rotatable connection manure could be achieved, for example, by a slight press fit between the bracket and the central opening. In certain cases, however, it is also sufficient to adjust the surface friction between the carrier element and the data carrier such that when the template is attached, only the template can rotate relative to the data carrier.
- the device can also have a bearing cover with two wall sections arranged at a distance from one another and with storage means for rotatably holding the data carrier between the wall sections, one of the wall sections having the template.
- a storage case can be designed, for example, like a conventional CD case, into which the CD to be labeled is inserted.
- the cover of the CD case is designed as a template so that the CD can be labeled when the cover is closed.
- the data carrier is rotated relative to the template, which is possible by means of corresponding lateral cutouts in the bearing sleeve.
- the bearing cover can also be designed as a plug-in cover with a lateral insertion opening for the data carrier, the template being arranged on a side wall of the plug-in cover.
- the means for the rotatable mounting of the data carrier act on the outer circumference and not in the center of the data carrier.
- the template is preferably made of a transparent or partially transparent material, in particular of a plastic material.
- the template can be produced in a particularly simple manner in an injection molding tool.
- the last Level marks visible, which enables a regular sequence of characters.
- the setting of the characters can also be made easier by the fact that markings are arranged on the template between or above the character openings, which enable uniform spacing between characters.
- the marks on the template are preferably arranged on several circular rings which are concentric to the axis of rotation. Several circular and concentric lines can be labeled in this way.
- the inscription can be made through the openings, for example with a conventional felt pen or with another suitable writing instrument.
- FIG. 1 shows a CD case with a hinged lid seen from above, in which the lid forms the writing and drawing template with concentrically arranged characters
- FIG. 2 shows a CD plug-in case seen from above, in which the upper case side forms the writing and drawing template with concentrically arranged characters
- FIG. 3 shows a plan view of a circular disk-shaped template with a central bearing opening
- Figure 4 shows a cross section through the template according to Figure 3
- Figure 5 shows a cross section through a carrier disc with a compact disk.
- Linear writing templates such as those used for labeling technical drawings, are well known. They consist of a carrier plate with letters and characters arranged side by side in a row and worked out as openings. The principle of the invention is that the letters and characters are arranged concentrically around a center point on a writing and drawing template.
- the template also has a holder or guide which allows a disk-shaped data carrier to be rotatably held or guided so that the data carrier and the template can be rotated relative to one another about the center point or pivot point.
- the holder or the template guide can either be arranged in the center of the CD or on the outer circumference of the CD and the CD can be rotatable about the common pivot point relative to the template or the template relative to the CD.
- the template will be placed on the CD to be written, so that the center of the concentrically arranged letters and characters come to lie with the center of the CD.
- the word SONG is to be written on the CD
- the letter S is first traced using an appropriate stencil cut-out with an appropriate pen.
- the template or the CD is rotated against each other around its center, so that the recess for the following letter 0 comes after the letter S and can be written with the pen. In this way the word is finished, so that it lies concentrically on the CD.
- more words or characters are to be written, this can be done after the word already written, or concentrically under the written word because the letters and characters are arranged in several concentric lines on the template.
- the template has webs or small knobs on its side facing the CD so that the template does not rest on the CD. This prevents the written and not yet dried letters from being smeared when rotating.
- the template has the shape of an ordinary CD.
- the CD to be labeled is snapped into the CD sleeve so that it sits as tightly as possible and does not rotate.
- the template is placed on top of it.
- the template has a hole in the center, the diameter of which corresponds to the diameter of the cylindrical CD holder in the CD case.
- the CD holder also serves as a holder or guide for the template, about which the template can be rotated.
- the webs or knobs with which the stencil rests on the CD space the CD from the stencil and thus prevent the letters already written from being smeared when the stencil is rotated.
- Different font, symbol, figure and character shapes and different font, symbol and character sizes can be arranged on different templates.
- the templates can easily be exchanged or exchanged. In this way, the user has great design freedom for labeling and labeling a data carrier.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the template according to the invention, in which the transparent, hinged cover 2 of a CD case 1 serves as template 3.
- the characters 4, letters 4 or numbers 4 are arranged in concentric lines, the center 5 of the concentric lines being closed. senem lid comes to rest on the center of the cylindrical CD holder 7 for the CD 6. These center points therefore also correspond to the axis of rotation about which the relative rotation takes place.
- Recesses 8 on the edge of the cover 2 of the CD case 1 allow the CD 6 to be rotated toward the desired letter. In this case, the CD 6 is rotated relative to the template 3.
- two recesses 8 are provided on opposite sides of the cover 2.
- knobs or support ribs 9 are arranged on the inside of the lid either near the center or between the letters (not shown here) or in the outer area of the character lines, which space the CD 6 from the template 3 in order to blur the written letters when the CD is rotated 6 to prevent.
- Corresponding markings can be attached to the template 3 in order to maintain uniform distances between the characters to be written. For example, short radial lines or windows in the form of notches or prints are helpful. When writing a letter, the window on the template to the left of the letter to be written is pushed over the letters already written.
- FIG. 2 shows a CD plug-in sleeve 10 as seen from above.
- the upper transparent sleeve side 13 forms the carrier disk of a writing and drawing template 3 with letters 4, numbers or characters arranged concentrically and worked out as openings.
- a swivel arm 11 is arranged inside this casing 10 on the transverse side opposite the opening.
- This swivel arm serves to eject a CD 6 inserted into the sleeve 1.
- a part of the leg arm 11 forms, with two arc-shaped holding elements 12 arranged on the longitudinal sides, the holder and guide for a CD 6 inserted into the CD sleeve 10.
- the arc-shaped holding elements 12 consist of an elastic material with a U-shaped cross-sectional profile.
- a CD inserted into the CD case 10 is received by the holding elements 12 and rotatably held in the edge region of the CD 6, the U-profile of the holding elements 12 causing the CD 6 to have no contact with the inner surface of the case.
- the CD case 1 has a recess 8 in the edge area, so that a CD 6 inserted into the CD case 1 can be rotated.
- the recess 8 is located on the upper case side 13.
- the CD underside, that is to say the data carrier layer, is thereby covered and protected by the underside of the case.
- the recess 8 can be formed by shaping the top and bottom of the shell 1. This has the advantage that the disk 6 is easy to turn when labeling.
- the labeling of disc 6 is carried out in the same way as for labeling with CD cover 1 with hinged cover 2.
- the device consists exclusively of a circular disk-shaped template 3 made of transparent plastic material, on which the openings with the markings 4 are arranged on three concentric circular rings.
- the template has an outer diameter of 120 mm, which corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of a standard compact disk.
- a bearing opening 14 with an inner diameter of 15 mm is arranged in the center, which also corresponds approximately to the inner diameter of a central opening 17 (FIG. 5) on a commercially available compact disk 6.
- the template 3 has an annular spacer element 9 on its outer circumference on its side facing the data carrier.
- An annular spacer element 9 is also arranged directly around the bearing opening 14. In this way, the drawing openings are always arranged at a distance from an underlying compact disk.
- the template according to FIG. 3 can be placed directly on a compact disk which is arranged in a conventional CD cassette case with the lid open.
- a carrier disk according to FIG. 5 can also be used, which has a bearing journal 16 in the center.
- the data carrier 6 is pushed with its central opening 17 over the bearing journal 16, the tolerances being dimensioned such that a slight press fit is achieved.
- the data carrier is held relatively non-rotatably on the carrier disk.
- a template according to FIGS. 3 and 4 is now placed on the data carrier or on the carrier disk in such a way that the bearing pin 16 penetrates the bearing opening 14 of the template. Relative to the bearing opening 14, the tolerances are selected such that a sliding bearing that is as free of play as possible is possible.
- the template can now be rotated in any angular position to attach the characters.
- the described embodiments are only examples of the template according to the invention.
- the advantage in the embodiments mentioned is that they can be produced inexpensively and are simple to use.
- the blanks are mostly offered in multipacks. It is conceivable to enclose a corresponding template in a multipack. You may also be able to add a suitable pen to the package.
