OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un soporte concebido para el almacenamiento de discos, por ejemplo discos compactos tipo CD, discos de video digital DVD y otros.The present invention relates to a support designed for the storage of discs, for example CD-type compact discs, digital DVD video discs and others.
Uno de los objetos de Ia invención se refiere a que el soporte se constituya por dos piezas en el que las piezas contienen el disco de modo que tras Ia apertura del soporte se produzca Ia liberación automática del disco sin necesidad de efectuar manipulación alguna sobre dicho disco.One of the objects of the invention refers to the support being constituted by two pieces in which the pieces contain the disk so that after the opening of the support the automatic release of the disk occurs without the need for any manipulation on said disk .
Otro de los objetos de Ia invención se refiere a que complementariamente el soporte pueda albergar dos discos cuya liberación se produzca igualmente de forma simultánea.Another of the objects of the invention refers to the fact that, in addition, the support can house two discs whose release is also produced simultaneously.
Asimismo otro objeto de Ia invención consiste en que los elementos funcionales para Ia sujeción y liberación automática del disco son independientes de un estuche convencional, de forma que se pueden montar a posteriori sobre cualquier otro tipo de soporte que haga las veces de tapas y lomo.Likewise, another object of the invention consists in that the functional elements for the automatic clamping and release of the disc are independent of a conventional case, so that they can be subsequently mounted on any other type of support that serves as covers and spine.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Los estuches que almacenan discos ópticos incorporan de modo general en Ia parte central de su base una formación saliente para el acoplamiento por ajuste del disco a través de su orificio central, normalmente usando dientes o resaltes de retención. La formación saliente dispone de unas zonas deformables a compresión, de modo que el disco puede liberarse de su retención ejerciendo una presión en el citado saliente o simplemente tirando del disco por su zona periférica. Además suelen disponer en Ia base de unos resaltes de forma concéntrica con Ia formación saliente central para que apoye sobre ellos el borde exterior del disco.The cases that store optical discs generally incorporate in the central part of their base an outgoing formation for the coupling by adjustment of the disc through its central hole, normally using teeth or retention projections. The protruding formation has compression deformable zones, so that the disk can be released from its retention by exerting a pressure on said protrusion or simply by pulling the disk through its peripheral zone. In addition, they tend to have concentric projections at the base with the central protruding formation so that the outer edge of the disc rests on them.
Esta formación saliente tiene una estructura adaptada para ser fabricada en procesos de moldeo de materiales plásticos que conforman las paredes del estuche de manera integral con dichas paredes.This projecting formation has a structure adapted to be manufactured in molding processes of plastic materials that make up the walls of the case integrally with said walls.
La maniobra para Ia liberación del disco, además de resultar poco intuitiva e incómoda, provoca una deformación del disco, flexándolo radialmente. En muchas ocasiones resulta excesiva y puede llegar a dañarlo o al menos a generar en el mismo un efecto de fatiga.The maneuver for the release of the disc, besides being not very intuitive and uncomfortable, causes a deformation of the disc, flexing it radially. In many cases it is excessive and can even damage it or at least generate a fatigue effect on it.
Son conocidos otros sistemas que facilitan Ia extracción del disco, así como de alguna manera se Io ofrecen o acercan al usuario, por ejemplo se pueden citar las patentes US 4793480, US 5573120, US 5906275 y US 6283284, en las que, por medio de diferentes mecanismos, el movimiento de apertura de Ia caja que alberga el disco pretende facilitar al usuario Ia extracción del mismo.Other systems that facilitate the removal of the disk are known, as well as somehow offered or brought closer to the user, for example, patents US 4793480, US 5573120, US 5906275 and US 6283284, in which, by means of Different mechanisms, the opening movement of the box that houses the disk is intended to facilitate the user's removal of it.
Sin embargo, dichos mecanismos o sistemas adolecen de una falta de sencillez, a Ia vez que resultan, en algunas ocasiones, perjudiciales para el propio disco, tanto por Ia situación inestable en Ia que se sitúa el mismo, como por Ia presión o el roce ejercido por Ia plataforma que Io eleva, sobreHowever, said mechanisms or systems suffer from a lack of simplicity, at the same time as they are sometimes harmful to the disc itself, both due to the unstable situation in which it is located, as well as pressure or friction. exerted by the platform that elevates it, over
Ia zona de datos.The data area.
Además, los dispositivos recogidos en estos documentos presentan otros inconvenientes no menos importantes, como son el hecho de que el disco no se ofrezca al usuario de forma horizontal cuando se abre Ia caja, Io que dificulta el movimiento de extracción y el de recogida, complicando además enormemente Ia mecanización de un proceso de llenado de las cajas con los discos.In addition, the devices included in these documents present other no less important inconveniences, such as the fact that the The disk is not offered to the user horizontally when the box is opened, which hinders the movement of extraction and collection, further complicating the mechanization of a process of filling the boxes with the discs.
Otro inconveniente que presentan estos sistemas es el elevado número de piezas que casi todos presentan, además de Ia inclusión en algunos de ellos de Ia clásica formación saliente o roseta central para el acoplamiento por ajuste del disco o de otro tipo de mecanismo de extracción sobre el que todavía tendrá que actuar el usuario para liberar el disco una vez abierto el estuche.Another drawback presented by these systems is the high number of pieces that almost all have, in addition to the inclusion in some of them of the classic protruding formation or central rosette for coupling by adjusting the disk or other type of extraction mechanism on the that the user will still have to act to release the disc once the case is opened.
La patente de invención EP 1 550 620 perteneciente al mismo solicitante de Ia presente invención propone un estuche para albergar un único disco óptico tal como un disco compacto, un disco de video digital o similar, que dispone de una base y una tapa unidas articuladamente entre sí mediante un lomo intermedio, y una plataforma paralela a Ia base que está provista de medios de retención del disco que se activan o desactivan automáticamente durante Ia maniobra de apertura o cierre de Ia tapa.The invention patent EP 1 550 620 belonging to the same applicant of the present invention proposes a case to house a single optical disc such as a compact disc, a digital video disc or the like, which has a base and a lid articulated together between yes through an intermediate spine, and a platform parallel to the base that is provided with disk retention means that are automatically activated or deactivated during the opening or closing maneuver of the lid.
El estuche está fabricado por moldeo en una sola pieza y Ia plataforma está unida con carácter monopieza a Ia base del estuche relacionada con una triple línea de abisagramiento, contando Ia citada plataforma en el extremo opuesto a Ia zona de abisagramiento con una prolongación central dotada de medios de retención que encajan en unas proyecciones definidas en el lomo intermedio.The case is manufactured by molding in one piece and the platform is attached with a single piece to the base of the case related to a triple hinge line, said platform counting at the opposite end to the hinge area with a central extension provided with retention means that fit into projections defined in the intermediate spine.
La fabricación del estuche en una sola pieza conlleva una cierta complejidad, y las tres líneas de articulación se constituyen en líneas de debilitamiento que en el caso de Ia línea de articulación con Ia base está sujeta a un desgaste con el uso que puede dar lugar con el tiempo a una rotura de Ia plataforma por esta línea o a que no se reproduzca con exactitud Ia posición de Ia plataforma en Ia situación de cierre del estuche y por tanto no se establezca un acoplamiento seguro de Ia plataforma en esta posición.The manufacture of the case in a single piece entails a certain complexity, and the three articulation lines constitute lines of weakening that in the case of the line of articulation with the base is subject to wear and tear with the use that can lead to time to one Breaking of the platform along this line or that the position of the platform in the case closing situation is not reproduced exactly and therefore a secure coupling of the platform in this position is not established.
La unión solidaria a Ia base con línea de articulación o abisagramiento implica una particular configuración exterior del estuche, que presenta problemas en el posterior proceso de soldadura del film transparente de sujeción de Ia carátula por Io que puede dificultar el proceso de envasado del contenido del estuche utilizando maquinaria convencional.The solidarity connection to the base with articulation or hinge line implies a particular exterior configuration of the case, which presents problems in the subsequent welding process of the transparent film for securing the cover by what can hinder the packaging process of the contents of the case using conventional machinery.
Otro inconveniente es Ia mayor dificultad de fabricación mediante el proceso de inyección de material plástico, al presentarse varias líneas de abisagramiento consecutivas, Io que supone varios estrechamientos para el paso del material y que Ia pieza ocupe un gran área proyectada en el molde.Another drawback is the greater difficulty of manufacturing by means of the plastic material injection process, when several consecutive hinge lines are presented, which involves several narrowings for the passage of the material and that the piece occupies a large projected area in the mold.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
El soporte portador de discos con sistema de liberación del disco que constituye el objeto de esta invención destaca fundamentalmente porque se encuentra conformado por, una base que comprende tres sectores separados por líneas de plegado y por una plataforma que constituye una pieza independiente a Ia base en Ia que se encuentra al menos un disco, prolongándose desde el primer sector de Ia base al menos una bisagra respecto a Ia que articula Ia plataforma.The carrier carrying discs with disc release system that constitutes the object of this invention stands out mainly because it is formed by, a base comprising three sectors separated by folding lines and by a platform that constitutes a separate piece to the base in Ia that is at least one disk, extending from the first sector of the base at least one hinge with respect to the one that articulates the platform.
La configuración del soporte mediante dos piezas supone reducir de forma significativa Ia complejidad asociada al proceso de inyección de una sola pieza.The configuration of the support by means of two pieces supposes to significantly reduce the complexity associated with the injection process of a single piece.
En este primer sector se prolonga asimismo al menos un pivote situado en correspondencia con un retenedor definido en Ia plataforma que está formado por unos centradores de guiado del disco y unos dientes de retención. Cuando Ia plataforma se abate en sentido de cierre hacia el primer sector del soporte, los dientes de retención inciden sobre el pivote que los empuja en dirección radial y hacia fuera para establecer el anclaje del disco.In this first sector, at least one pivot located in correspondence with a retainer defined in the platform that extends It is made up of guide centering discs and retaining teeth. When the platform is folded in the direction of closing towards the first sector of the support, the retaining teeth affect the pivot that pushes them radially and outwards to establish the anchoring of the disc.
Por otro lado Ia pieza base dispone a continuación del primer sector y tras una primera línea de articulación de un segundo sector o lomo en el que se encuentran definidas unas proyecciones de acoplamiento en las que enganchan medios de anclaje definidos en Ia plataforma en Ia posición de cierre del soporte.On the other hand, the base part then has the first sector and after a first articulation line of a second sector or spine in which coupling projections are defined in which anchoring means defined on the platform are engaged in the position of support closure.
El tercer sector de Ia base se encuentra a continuación del lomo y tras una segunda línea de articulación y tiene funciones de tapa.The third sector of the base is next to the spine and after a second articulation line and has cover functions.
El hecho de que Ia plataforma constituya una pieza independiente aThe fact that the platform constitutes an independent piece of
Ia base a Ia que se encuentra articulada mediante al menos una bisagra, supone que Ia plataforma se vea sometida a un menor desgaste y que, a diferencia de otras soluciones, el abatimiento de Ia plataforma sea siempre el mismo de manera que siempre exista un enfrentamiento entre los medios de anclaje de Ia plataforma y las proyecciones de acoplamiento de Ia base cuando Ia plataforma se dirige hacia Ia posición de cierre del soporte.The base to which it is articulated by at least one hinge, supposes that the platform is subject to less wear and that, unlike other solutions, the dejection of the platform is always the same so that there is always a confrontation between the anchoring means of the platform and the coupling projections of the base when the platform is directed towards the closing position of the support.
La plataforma muestra preferentemente una configuración en Y, en Ia que el alma de Ia Y articula respecto al primer sector y en Ia que los extremos de las alas de Ia Y disponen de correspondientes medios de anclaje para su encaje en las correspondientes proyecciones de acoplamiento que se prolongan desde el segundo sector, estando Ia plataforma limitada en las extremidades de alma y alas por unos resaltes o bordes que circundan perimetralmente el disco cuando está acoplado en Ia plataforma.The platform preferably shows a configuration in Y, in which the soul of the Y articulates with respect to the first sector and in which the ends of the wings of the Y have corresponding anchoring means for their fitting in the corresponding coupling projections that they extend from the second sector, the platform being limited in the limbs of the soul and wings by projections or edges that surround the disk perimetrically when it is coupled to the platform.
A diferencia de otras soluciones los medios de retención quedan integrados en número de dos, uno por cada ala de Ia Y, consiguiendo así una plataforma más compacta que requiere menor cantidad de material y que establece un anclaje más seguro.Unlike other solutions, the retention means are integrated in a number of two, one for each wing of the Y, thus achieving a more compact platform that requires less material and establishes a safer anchor.
En otra posible realización se contempla Ia posibilidad de que Ia plataforma albergue dos discos, incorporando una geometría adecuada a tal efecto en Ia que se pueden apreciar dos retenedores en cada uno de los cuales se introduce uno de los discos, encontrándose uno de los retenedores a una altura superior al otro para facilitar el alojamiento de cada uno de los discos que quedan parcialmente superpuestos, estando limitada Ia plataforma por unos resaltes perimetrales que engloban perimetralmente a los dos discos.In another possible embodiment the possibility is contemplated that the platform houses two discs, incorporating a geometry suitable for this purpose in which two retainers can be seen in each of which one of the discs is introduced, one of the retainers being located a height greater than the other to facilitate the accommodation of each of the discs that are partially superimposed, the platform being limited by perimeter projections that encompass the two discs perimetrically.
La base del soporte puede consistir en un estuche realizado totalmente en plástico, o en cartón, o en chapa conformada o en cualquier otro material, así como sus tres sectores podrían realizarse en un único material que podría unirse a otro tipo de soporte, y las bisagras, pivotes y proyecciones en otro material más resistente al de los sectores de la base.The base of the support can consist of a case made entirely of plastic, or cardboard, or formed sheet or any other material, as well as its three sectors could be made of a single material that could be attached to another type of support, and hinges, pivots and projections in other material more resistant to the base sectors.
Para cualquiera que sea Ia aplicación del soporte Ia operativa del sistema de liberación o anclaje del soporte funcionaría de Ia misma forma, al depositar el disco entre los centradores, apenas se ejerce una presión o esta es muy reducida, estableciéndose el cierre automáticamente al descender Ia plataforma cuando sus dientes de retención inciden contra el pivote de Ia base, bloqueando así el disco que queda perfectamente estabilizado en el interior del soporte. En esta situación los medios de anclaje de Ia plataforma se encuentran encajados en las proyecciones de acoplamiento del lomo.For whatever the application of the support, the operative system of the release or anchoring system of the support would work in the same way, when depositing the disc between the centers, hardly any pressure is exerted or it is very reduced, the closure being established automatically when the Ia platform when its retention teeth hit the pivot of the base, thus blocking the disc that is perfectly stabilized inside the support. In this situation the anchoring means of the platform are embedded in the projections of coupling of the spine.
En relación con Ia maniobra de apertura del soporte, se procede a abatir el tercer sector o tapa y consecuentemente se abate el segundo sector o lomo produciéndose Ia apertura o salida automática de los medios de anclaje de Ia plataforma. Esto supone el abatimiento de Ia plataforma y en consecuencia que los dientes de retención se liberen del pivote quedando el disco libre para su extracción del soporte, de esta forma se reduce el esfuerzo necesario para Ia extracción del disco y se minimiza Ia tensión a Ia que se encuentra sometido.In relation to the opening maneuver of the support, the third sector or cover is folded down and consequently the second sector or spine is lowered, producing the automatic opening or exit of the platform's anchoring means. This involves the dejection of the platform and in consequence that the retention teeth are released from the pivot leaving the disk free for its removal from the support, in this way the effort necessary for the removal of the disk is reduced and the tension to which it is subjected is minimized.

La plataforma (7, T) dispone de un retenedor del disco (16) formado por unos centradores de guiado (9) del disco alternados con unos dientes de retención (8), representados en detalle en Ia figura 3, que liberan o retienen un disco por acción del pivote (5) en función de Ia posición de apertura o cierre del soporte. En dicha figura 3 aparece el soporte con el pivote (5) empujando los dientes de retención (8) hacia fuera correspondiente a Ia situación de cierre del estuche y anclaje del disco, no representado.As shown in Figure 1, the support according to the invention is configured by a base (1) and a platform ( J, T), in which the base (1) is divided into three sectors (2, 3, 4) separated by folding lines in which a first sector (2) is distinguished from which a pivot (5) is extended, a second sector or spine (3) located next from which projections (6) are prolonged of coupling and a third sector (4) as a cover located next to the second sector (3). The platform (7, T) has a disc retainer (16) formed by guide centers (9) alternated with retaining teeth (8), shown in detail in Figure 3, which release or retain a disk per action of the pivot (5) depending on the opening or closing position of the support. In said figure 3 the support appears with the pivot (5) pushing the retention teeth (8) out corresponding to the situation of closing the case and anchoring the disc, not shown.
En esta misma figura 3 se observa en correspondencia con el retenedor (16) y sobresaliendo del primer sector (2) unas porciones de elevación (13) sobre las que apoya el disco. De acuerdo con Ia invención, tal y como se observa en Ia figura 2, Ia plataforma (7, 7') constituye una pieza independiente a Ia base (1 ), y bascula respecto a Ia misma mediante unos ejes (10) respecto a unas bisagra (9) que se prolongan desde el primer sector (2) de Ia base (1 ).In this same figure 3 it is observed in correspondence with the retainer (16) and protruding from the first sector (2) lifting portions (13) on which the disc rests. In accordance with the invention, as seen in Figure 2, the platform (7, 7 ') constitutes an independent part of the base (1), and scales with respect to it by means of axes (10) with respect to some hinge (9) that extend from the first sector (2) of the base (1).
La plataforma (7), según aparece representada en Ia figura 1 por ejemplo, muestra una configuración en Y en Ia que el alma de Ia Y articula respecto al primer sector (2) de Ia base (1 ), y se concibe para albergar un único disco. En otra posible realización, representada en Ia figura 6, Ia plataforma (7J) muestra una configuración a modo de Y con una prolongación central (10) que se extiende desde el alma, dispone de dos retenedores (16) en cada uno de las cuales se introduce un disco, encontrándose uno de los retenedores (16) a una altura superior al otro para facilitar el alojamiento de cada uno de los discos que quedan así parcialmente superpuestos. La plataforma (7') está limitada por unos resaltes perimetrales (11 ) que engloban ambos discos.The platform (7), as shown in Figure 1 for example, shows a Y configuration in which the soul of the Y articulates with respect to the first sector (2) of the base (1), and is conceived to house a single disc In another possible embodiment, represented in Figure 6, the platform (7 J ) shows a Y-shaped configuration with a central extension (10) extending from the soul, has two retainers (16) in each of the which introduces a disc, one of the retainers (16) being located at a height higher than the other to facilitate the accommodation of each of the discs that are thus partially superimposed. The platform (7 ') is limited by perimeter projections (11) that encompass both discs.
Para cualquiera de las dos posibles realizaciones descritas, en los extremos de las alas de Ia Y se ha previsto Ia incorporación de unos medios de anclaje (12) para su encaje en las correspondientes proyecciones de acoplamiento (16) que se prolongan desde el segundo sector (3), tal y como se observa en detalle en Ia figura 4. Los medios de anclaje (12) según aparecen representados en esta figura 4 consisten en un eje cilindrico (12) y las proyecciones de acoplamiento (16) disponen de unas garras (14) deformables elásticamente en las que encajan dichos ejes cilindricos (12) enFor any of the two possible embodiments described, the incorporation of anchoring means (12) for fitting into the corresponding coupling projections (16) extending from the second sector has been provided at the ends of the wings of the Y. (3), as can be seen in detail in Figure 4. The anchoring means (12) as shown in this figure 4 consist of a cylindrical shaft (12) and the coupling projections (16) have claws (14) elastically deformable in which said cylindrical shafts (12) fit into
Ia situación de cierre del soporte.The situation of closing the support.
Las proyecciones de acoplamiento (6) cuentan con unos salientes (15) que en Ia situación de cierre del soporte circundan el disco protegiéndolo perimetralmente. En Ia figura 1 se observa asimismo una pestaña (17) que empuja Ia plataforma (7) en dirección de cierre cuando se abate el tercer sector (4) en esa dirección.The coupling projections (6) have projections (15) that surround the disk in the closed position of the support, protecting it perimeter. Figure 1 also shows a flange (17) that pushes the platform (7) in the closing direction when the third sector (4) is struck in that direction.
La base (1 ) del soporte de acuerdo con las figuras 1 y 6 consiste en un estuche. En otra posible aplicación representada en Ia figura 5 Ia base (1 ) del soporte está conformada en un único material, tal como cartón, chapa, etc, y las bisagras (9), pivote (5) y proyecciones de acoplamiento (6) se conciben en otro material más resistente al de Ia base (1). The base (1) of the support according to figures 1 and 6 consists of a case. In another possible application represented in Figure 5, the base (1) of the support is formed in a single material, such as cardboard, sheet, etc., and the hinges (9), pivot (5) and coupling projections (6) are conceived in another material more resistant to that of the base (1).
