Abstract

The invention relates to a protective cushion for compact discs. The inventive cushion comprises an assembly of layers, in which the upper layer is made from a suitable textile material and the lower layer is made from an adhesive material which is applied to the lower face of the aforementioned textile layer. According to the invention, the adhesive layer is used to fix the cushion to the surface on which the disc is to be placed.

Description

"ALMOHADILLA PROTECTORA DE DISCOS COMPACTOS" . "PROTECTIVE PAD OF COMPACT DISCS".
La presente memoria, se refiere como indica su enunciado, a una "Almohadilla protectora de discos compactos" tanto destinados a juegos de consolas a películas cinematográficas, música o datos para ordenadores, en los que por lo general, existe siempre un peligro de daño de la superficie que es leída por el láser, llevando al deterioro del disco e incluso a su inutilización total, si el daño es profundo y continuado .The present report refers, as indicated in its statement, to a "protective pad of compact discs" both intended for console games for cinematographic films, music or data for computers, in which, in general, there is always a danger of damage to the surface that is read by the laser, leading to the deterioration of the disk and even its total uselessness, if the damage is deep and continued.
El manejo normal de esta clase de discos compactos, su colocación en los mismos estuches en que se han de guardar, y los posibles rozamientos con las superficies donde se sitúan, hacen que se produzcan con notable frecuencia ralladuras e incluso perforaciones, en la cara que ha de ser leída por el láser, inutilizando el disco y pudiendo llegar a perder la información que posee.The normal handling of this kind of compact discs, its placement in the same cases in which they are to be stored, and possible friction with the surfaces where they are placed, cause scratches and even perforations to occur with remarkable frequency, on the face that It has to be read by the laser, rendering the disk unusable and being able to lose the information it has.
Con el fin de eliminar estos inconvenientes, se ha ideado la almohadilla protectora, a la que se refiere la presente memoria, esencialmente constituida por un disco de diámetro variable y aproximado al disco a proteger y formado por capas superpuestas, una superior de material textil, por ejemplo fieltro, o similar, y una capa inferior de materia adhesiva, protegida mediante una lámina susceptible de ser quitada fácilmente en el momento de uso de la almohadilla protectora.In order to eliminate these inconveniences, the protective pad has been devised, to which the present report refers, essentially constituted by a disc of variable diameter and approximated to the disc to be protected and formed by superimposed layers, an upper one of textile material, for example felt, or the like, and a lower layer of adhesive material, protected by a sheet that can be easily removed at the time of use of the protective pad.
De esta forma, bastará con desprender esta última lámina protectora, para dejar la almohadilla preparada para ser pegada al fondo de la caja, o a la superficie de la mesa de trabajo o lugar donde haya de situarse el disco durante su manejo, quedando en todo caso sobre un almohadillado que impide el rayado o deterioro del mismo . A continuación, se hará una detallada descripción de la almohadilla protectora de discos compactos que se cita, con referencia a los planos que se acompañan, en los que se representa a simple título de ejemplo, no limitativo, una forma preferente de realización, susceptible de todas aquellas variaciones de detalle que no supongan una alteración fundamental de la misma.In this way, it will be enough to detach this last protective sheet, to leave the pad prepared to be glued to the bottom of the box, or to the surface of the work table or place where the disc is to be placed during its handling, remaining in any case on a pad that prevents scratching or deterioration. Next, a detailed description of the protective cushion of the cited discs will be made, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which a preferred embodiment, capable of all those variations of detail that do not suppose a fundamental alteration of the same.
En dichos planos se ilustra:These plans illustrate:
En la figura 1: Vista perspectiva general de la almohadilla, desde un punto superior y lateral.In Figure 1: General perspective view of the pad, from a top and side point.
En la figura 2: Vista en sección diametral de la misma.In figure 2: Diametral section view of it.
Según el ejemplo de ejecución representado, la almohadilla protectora de discos compactos, que se preconiza, está constituida por un disco formado por dos capas superpuestas, una superior (1) de material textil suave, tal como fieltro o similar, cuya base inferior está debidamente impregnada de una capa adhesiva (2), protegida hasta el momento de su utilización por una lámina de fácil extracción.According to the exemplary embodiment shown, the protective pad of compact discs, which is recommended, is constituted by a disk formed by two superimposed layers, an upper one (1) of soft textile material, such as felt or the like, whose lower base is properly impregnated with an adhesive layer (2), protected until its use by an easily removable sheet.
Esta almohadilla, presenta en su centro un orificio circular de las dimensiones adecuadas al rosetón central de la caja donde se guardan este tipo de discos, previendo que la altura o espesor de la almohadilla tenga el grosor suficiente para alcanzar la altura de dicho rosetón, evitando el rozamiento contra el mismo en los procesos de manipulación del disco.This pad has in its center a circular hole of the appropriate dimensions to the central rosette of the box where this type of discs are stored, providing that the height or thickness of the pad is thick enough to reach the height of said rosette, avoiding friction against it in the processes of handling the disk.
De esta forma constituido y para su empleo, no bastará mas que desprender la protección de la capa adhesiva y colocar el conjunto en el fondo de la caja; el disco quedará apoyado sobre la almohadilla, sin posibilidad de dañarse al no tener contacto con ninguna superficie dura, sino con la capa (1) textil, y solamente bastará realizar el resto de la operación como de costumbre, anclando el disco por presión, para finalizar. La almohadilla además asegurará, en caso de rotura de parte o de todo el rosetón, la sujeción del disco dentro de la caja sin deslizamientos, gracias a la presión que la misma almohadilla ejercerá contra la tapa de la caja, la cual no es capaz de abrir.In this constituted way and for its use, it will not be enough to detach the protection of the adhesive layer and place the assembly in the bottom of the box; The disc will be supported on the pad, without the possibility of being damaged by not having contact with any hard surface, but with the textile layer (1), and only the rest of the operation will suffice as as usual, anchoring the disc by pressure, to finish. The pad will also ensure, in case of breakage of part or all of the rosette, the attachment of the disk inside the case without slipping, thanks to the pressure that the pad itself will exert against the case lid, which is not capable of open.
La superficie inferior impregnada en una materia adhesiva, permite que la almohadilla pueda colocarse en cualquier tipo de superficie, mesa de trabajo, o lugar próximo al punto de empleo, quedando fijo y permitiendo que, durante la manipulación, nunca quede el disco directamente apoyado en una superficie dura que pueda deteriorar al mismo.The inferior surface impregnated in an adhesive material, allows the pad to be placed on any type of surface, work table, or place near the point of use, being fixed and allowing that, during handling, the disc is never directly supported on a hard surface that can damage it.
La forma, materiales y dimensiones podrán ser variables y en general, cuanto sea accesorio o secundario, siempre que no altere, cambie o modifique las características esenciales del objeto descrito. The shape, materials and dimensions may be variable and in general, whether accessory or secondary, provided that it does not alter, change or modify the essential characteristics of the object described.
