Abstract

The inventive compact disc storage device (200) comprises stacked (202) thin flat supports (230, 250, 260 and 270) which are embodied in such away that they are pivotable about the longitudinal axis (L1) of a post (220). Said supports (230, 250, 260 and 270) comprise surfaces which are used for placing compact discs and are arranged on the same axis (L2) eccentrically to the axis of rotation (L1). The supports are provided with handles (42, 52, 62 and 72). The handles of the adjacent supports are embodied on the opposite sides with respect to a plane (L1-L2) passing across said axes (L1, L2). The handles (42, 52, 62 and 72) are provided with edges (41, 51, 61 and 71) used for preventing the adjacent supports from rotating together with the withdrawable support. The adjacent supports are provided with recesses which are embodied on the opposite surfaces thereof and comprise projections arranged therein. A cylinder (285) for writing office accessories is placed in the central opening of the post (220). A lid (280), which is embodied in one piece with the post, is used for storying small office accessories. In one variant of the device, the stack of supports is embodied such that it is tilted. In the other variant, wherein the device is provided with the greater number of supports, the stack of supports is divided by inserts which are rigidly connected to the stop.

Description

CD STORAGE DEVICE

Technical field

The device for storing CDs (or, further, the device) is intended for storing flat parts, in particular, optical storage media such as CDs and / or DVDs.

State of the art

The prior art devices for storing CDs. Closest to the claimed design are those that ensure that the compact discs are stored horizontally on thin flat supports placed in a stack, that is, (hereinafter in the application in the sense) one above the other, with the upper resting on the lower. At the same time, outside the locations of the compact discs, the supports contain holes on the same axis through which a vertical strut mounted on the base passes. For example, these are inventions of US 6,502,703 Jap. 7, 2003; US 6,193,061 Feb, 27, 2001; US 5,779,037 JuI. 14, 1998; US 5,813,740 Ser. 29, 1998; US 5,232,275 Aug. 3, 1993; US 4,998,618 12, 1991; US 5,344,028 Ser. 6, 1994; US 5,099,995 Mag. 31.1992; US 6,691,875 Feb. 17, 2004. This design takes up little space on the supporting surface due to the minimum footprint and small volume due to the small thickness of the supports. In addition, this design allows you to remove the CD from the middle of the stack by turning the support on which it is placed around the axis of the rack and extending it, thus, outside the stack, without removing other supports from the stack.

The closest to the claimed design can be considered the invention of US 5,697,684 Dec. 16, 1997, in which, in addition to the above listed features, there are others that coincide with the features of the claimed invention, for example, the presence of a handle on each support, that is, (hereinafter in the application in the sense) of an element placed outside the stack that is configured to for the user to act on him by grabbing with two fingers or pressing with one finger, to rotate the support around the rack, in addition, the pen can be used for marking, using an inscription or sticker on it, the location of the CD. One more advantage of this design can be noted - the discs are protected from dust, as well as accidental moisture or any contamination.

Along with the advantages of the latest design, its disadvantages can be noted.

Firstly, the relative position of the handles makes it possible for the user, when extending the support by the handle, to touch the adjacent handle with his hand, that is, (hereinafter in the application in the sense) of the immediately adjacent support located near the trajectory of the handle

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Gay handle. This drawback is especially noticeable when using the handles farthest from the axis of rotation, and therefore the most convenient because of the lower forces required to extend the supports with these handles, due to the action of these forces on the larger shoulder.

Secondly, the supports are stacked, one on top of the other, therefore, depending on the height of the supports in the stack, they are affected by different forces from the weight of other supports, and, therefore, different friction forces, therefore, different efforts are required to extend these supports from the stack. This disadvantage manifests itself the more, the more supports in the stack.

Thirdly, if you pull one of the handles to push the selected support with the CD out of the stack, then the applied force will be transmitted by the friction forces through the extendable support to the adjacent supports and make them move in the same direction. Advancing from the stack of other supports will create inconvenience. The use of elastic elements for locking the supports proposed in the prototype does not seem sufficiently reliable because of the difficulty in predicting the ratio of the elastic locking forces and the frictional forces that entrain neighboring supports following the extended one. This difficulty is amplified due to the above-noted dependence of the friction forces on the height of the supports in the stack. It would be natural to hold two adjacent supports with their second hand for their handles, but, in this design, the handles of adjacent supports are located at a distance from each other that does not allow such a hold.

Fourth, one can note the difficulty of using the possibility of marking on the handles of the supports for placing CDs in the stack noted above because of the lack of the ability to place the means of such marking directly in the device.

Fifth, the user's gaze falls on the handles of the supports and on the support extended from the stack at a fairly sharp angle, especially when the device is on the table at arm's length from the user sitting at the table.

Disclosure of inventions

The task of the invention is to improve the usability of the device by overcoming the noted disadvantages.

The positive results of the inventions are to reduce the complexity of using the device by saving effort and time of the user.

The essence of the first claimed invention is a device for storing compact discs, comprising a rack and thin flat supports, which are connected with the rack with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis; supports are placed in a stack; supports contain eccentric to the mentioned axis of the place for placing CDs; these places contain stops limiting the shift of compact discs; supports are equipped with handles; the handles of adjacent supports are made on the parts of the supports farthest from the axis mentioned on opposite sides of the plane

2 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) passing through said axis. Thus, the prototype drawback noted above is overcome, namely, when the supports are pulled out of the stack in the most convenient way, that is, along the shortest path, by applying efforts to their handles in the direction from the mentioned plane, there is no chance to touch the hand of neighboring supports since s these handles are located on the other side of this plane. The positive results of the invention are to increase the convenience and reduce the complexity of using the device by reducing the likelihood of engaging the hand with other supports, as well as reducing the force required to extend the support from the stack due to the larger shoulder on which this force acts, since the handles are made on the parts of the supports that are farthest from the axis of rotation. In a preferred embodiment, the outermost parts of the supports are positioned in the direction of the compact disc locations, therefore, said plane extends in the direction of said eccentricity, and, at best, through the common central axis of the compact disc locations. In a preferred embodiment, the handles are arranged in longitudinal rows with respect to the axis of rotation of the supports, in addition, the handles of the supports adjacent to the same support are in different rows so that the handles are placed on one side of the said plane, in one variant, in two rows, and in another variant, in three rows. In a preferred embodiment, the handles of the row that is closer to the said plane protrude in the radial direction, from the axis of rotation of the supports, with respect to the handles of the adjacent (i.e., closest) row located further from the said plane, at a distance corresponding to the size of the \ i pens in this direction., In the preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate the search for the desired CD in the device, each row contains the ten mentioned pens, with the first, second, ninth and tenth pens painted in the same color; the third, fourth, seventh and eighth - in the second color; fifth and sixth - in the third color.

The essence of the second invention is a device for storing CDs,

25 holding the rack and thin flat supports, which are connected with the rack with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis; supports are placed in a stack; the stack of supports is separated by at least one insert associated with the rack with the restriction of its axial movement down; supports contain eccentric to the mentioned axis of the place for placing CDs; these places contain stops limiting the shift of compact discs; supports are equipped with handles; The handles of adjacent supports are made on the parts of the supports farthest from the said axis on different sides of the plane passing through the said axis. In this case, together with the first drawback, the prototype drawback noted by the second is overcome, namely, with a large number of supports in the stack, the force required to extend the lower supports from the stack will be significant and may create inconvenience for the user. Proposed solution

3 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) makes it possible to limit the number of supports that impact their weight on the lower supports in the stack by using inserts associated with the rack with the restriction of their axial movement down and capable, therefore, to take over and transfer to the rack the weight of the supports placed above them. In a particular case, the supports contain holes, and the stand contains a pipe located in these holes, divided into parts with the said inserts placed between these parts, bounded below by a base, and on top by a cover and a screw tie connecting the listed parts inside the pipe along its axis . In the particular case, the base is made with the possibility of support on a horizontal surface, such as a table. In the particular case, the base, cover and (or) the said inserts are made with the possibility of fastening to a vertical surface, such as furniture or walls. The positive results of the invention are to increase the convenience and reduce the complexity of using the device by reducing the force required to rotate the support for the reason that fewer supports act on the extendable support from above, since the insert perceives the weight of the supports lying on it and does not transfer it to lower supports, because it is connected with the rack with the restriction of its axial movement down.

The essence of the third invention is a device for storing compact discs, comprising a rack and thin flat supports that are connected to the rack with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis; these supports are stacked; supports contain eccentric to the mentioned axis of the place for placing CDs; these places contain stops limiting the shift of compact discs; supports are equipped with handles; the handles of adjacent supports are made on the parts of the supports farthest from the said axis on different sides of the plane passing through the said axis; two supports adjacent to one support are provided with additional handles made one above the other. That is, two supports adjacent from both sides to the extendable support contain additional handles for keeping these supports from turning after the extendable support, that is, additional elements placed on the outside of the stack that contain surfaces adapted for the user to act on by hand in order to keep said two supports from turning after the extended support; these additional handles are made in relation to each other - one above the other, that is, the said surfaces are made with the possibility for the user to simultaneously act on them with one hand, for example, by gripping with two fingers or pressing with one finger. In this case, together with the first, the prototype drawback, noted by the third, is overcome because, in order to hold the supports with the desired compact disc, to keep the other supports from being pulled out of the stack, it is enough to hold two supports, one of which is located above the extendable and the other below. In the case when these

four

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) two supports are equipped with additional handles, one of which is located on top of the other, then these handles are separated only by a distance equal to the thickness of the extended support, and, since all the supports are thin, it is clear that these two supports can be easily held by applying force to the additional handles, for example, with the finger of your free second hand. In the particular case, the supports comprise protruding outward stacks of elements, each of which comprises said handle and said additional handle. In the particular case, the said handles are made in the form of edges of the protrusions facing in the direction of rotation of the support extended from the stack of supports. In a preferred embodiment, said handles are made on protruding outward stacks of elements which comprise edges facing the said plane, moreover, the edges located on one side of the said plane are made one above the other and are equidistant from the said plane. That is, the mentioned edges are located along the axis of rotation of the supports in two rows to the right and left of the mentioned plane. In this case, in order to push the support out of the stack, you need to apply one hand to its handle in the direction from the mentioned plane, and to hold the other supports from extension, it is necessary with the other hand to apply force to the edges of two protruding elements of adjacent supports located one above the other, on the other side of the said plane, in the direction opposite to the first, that is, also from the said plane. In this case, the hands do not interfere with each other, because the right hand is manipulating to the right of the mentioned plane, and the left is to the left.

The positive results of the invention are to increase the convenience and reduce the complexity of using the device due to the lack of the need to return to the place of other supports, elongated from the stack after being pulled.

The essence of the fourth invention is a device for storing compact discs, comprising a rack and thin flat supports that are connected to the rack with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis; these supports are stacked; supports contain eccentric to the mentioned axis of the place for placing CDs; these places contain stops limiting the shift of compact discs; neighboring supports contain on the surfaces of the troughs facing each other and end protrusions located in these troughs; said protrusions and depressions are configured to exit each protrusion from the depression during said rotation of one of the supports; supports are equipped with handles; the handles of adjacent supports are made on the parts of the supports farthest from the said axis on different sides of the plane passing through the said axis. In this case, together with the first, the disadvantage of the prototype, noted by the third, is overcome, since additional fixation of the supports in the stack is provided. The positive results of the third invention are, also, an increase in convenience and a decrease in the laboriousness of using the device by reducing

5

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) time to return the extended support to its original position. It does not matter if the protrusion was made in the extendable support, and the cavity in the adjacent support or vice versa. In order to exit the cavity, in one case, the protrusion comprises a side surface inclined in the direction of exit from the cavity, and in the other case, the cavity contains a surface inclined in the direction of exit of the protrusion. If the said protrusions and depressions are distributed evenly around the strut, then when the protrusion exits the depression, with the mentioned turn of one of the supports, the distance between the facing surfaces of the adjacent adjacent supports will increase by the height of that part of the protrusion that was placed in the cavity. The support extended in this way will stand on the protrusions located underneath it as legs, just as the part of the stack above this support will stand on the protrusions located above it. Friction between the supports will be concentrated on the tops of the protrusions, that is, on the minimum shoulder, since the protrusions are distributed around the rack. In this case, in addition to the mentioned results, it is possible to observe a decrease in the labor intensity when using the device due to a decrease in the force required to extend the support from the stack due to the reduction of the shoulder on which each friction force acts and the likelihood that the supports will catch on each other.

The essence of the fifth invention is a device for storing compact discs, comprising a rack and thin flat supports that are connected to the rack with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis; supports are placed in a stack; supports contain eccentric to the mentioned axis of the place for placing CDs; these places contain stops limiting the shift of compact discs; supports are equipped with handles; the handles of adjacent supports are made on the parts of the supports farthest from the said axis on different sides of the plane passing through the said axis; the rack contains an open cavity on top made with the possibility of placing writing stationery in it. In a preferred embodiment, a glass is placed on top of the cavity, made with the possibility of placing writing stationery in it. In this case, together with the first, the disadvantage of the prototype noted by the fourth is overcome, namely, it is possible to place marking tools for CDs and (or) their locations, for example, multi-colored markers. The positive results of the invention are to increase the convenience and reduce the complexity of using the device by reducing the time for marking, because the necessary funds for this are located close to the marked objects.

The essence of the sixth invention is a device for storing compact discs, comprising a rack and thin flat supports that are connected to the rack with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis; supports are placed in a stack; supports contain eccentric to the mentioned

6 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) nut axis of a place for placing compact disks; these places contain stops limiting the shift of compact discs; supports are equipped with handles; the handles of adjacent supports are made on the parts of the supports farthest from the said axis on different sides of the plane passing through the said axis; the stack of supports is covered from above by a lid connected with the rack, made in the form of a stand for small office supplies. In this case, together with the first, the prototype drawback marked by the fourth is overcome, namely, it is possible to place marking tools for CDs or for their locations using, for example, self-adhesive labels, as well as additional tools, for example, to erase the inscriptions made for the purpose of marking. The positive results of the invention are to increase the convenience and reduce the complexity of using the device by reducing the time for labeling CDs and (or) their location, because the necessary tools for this are located close to the marked objects.

The essence of the seventh invention is a device for storing compact discs, comprising a rack and thin flat supports that are connected to the rack with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis; these supports are stacked; supports contain eccentric to the mentioned axis of the place for placing CDs; these places contain stops limiting the shift of compact discs; said axis is inclined toward said eccentricity; supports are equipped with handles; the handles of adjacent supports are made on the parts of the supports farthest from the said axis on different sides of the plane passing through the said axis. If we take into account the fact that it is convenient for the user to use the device, being in relation to it from the side of the places for placing CDs, then we can say that the said axis is inclined in the direction of the user. In this case, together with the first, the prototype drawback marked by the fourth is overcome, namely, the user's gaze falls on the support handles and the support with the CD pulled out of the stack at a less acute angle, this is especially important when the device is on the table at the most a convenient distance from the user sitting at the table - at arm's length. The positive results of the invention are to increase the convenience and reduce the complexity by reducing the time of use of the device for the reason that the device is tilted towards the user and, therefore, firstly, the user is better able to see the upper surface of the support extended from the stack of the support along with the CD placed on it , and secondly, the support extended from the stack is located closer to the user, since the axis around which it rotated during extension is tilted towards the user.

7 SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) In the particular case of the implementation of any of the described inventions, the device for storing compact discs includes a base connected to the stand, made with the possibility of support on a horizontal surface, for example, a table or, in another case, made with the possibility of fixing on a vertical or inclined surface, for example, furniture or walls. In the particular case, the stand and base are made in the form of one part. The stack of supports, in this case, rests on the base. In the particular case of the implementation of any of the described inventions, the device for storage of compact disks contains a cover that covers the upper support from dust or accidental ingress of contaminants onto the compact disc located on it. In a particular case, the lid is connected with the rack with restriction of movement along its longitudinal axis and is made with the possibility of fixing on a vertical or inclined surface, for example, furniture or a wall, while the rack contains an emphasis at the bottom for a stack of supports. In the particular case, the stand and cover are made in the form of one part. The presence of a base or cover is not necessary to achieve the aforementioned positive results, since, in the particular case, a variant is possible in which the stack rests on a horizontal surface, for example, of a table, and the strut passes from above through openings in the supports. The rack, in this case, in a particular case, is made in the form of a glass that stands on the same horizontal surface and which can be used to store pens or pencils in it. In another particular case, the counter is made in a U-shape and connected with its upper part to a base resting on a horizontal surface next to the pile, or is made in an L-shape and connected by a horizontal section, for example, with a vertical element of furniture.

The best options for carrying out the inventions

A CD storage device 200, in which the first, third, fourth, fifth and sixth inventions are embodied, contains forty stacked in a certain order, one on top of the other, on the base 210, in a stack 202, supports 230, 250, 260 and 270 s placed on them on one vertical axis L2 compact discs. Stack 202 consists of ten identical stacks, each of which contains supports 230, 250, 260, and 270, arranged in this order from top to bottom. Supports 230, 250, 260 and 270 outside the places intended for placing compact discs contain, along the axis L1, parallel to the axis L2, holes in which the rack 220 is placed. The supports are connected to the rack 220 with the possibility of rotation around its longitudinal axis L1, parallel to the L2 axis. On each of the supports 230, 250, 260 and 270 on the surfaces of the collar 235 surrounding the hole facing the other, the racks 220 are made hollows 236 and the protrusions 237 included in them with the possibility of each protrusion leaving the hollow when one of the supports is rotated.

The base 210, made of plastic in the form of a trough-shaped part with a flat bottom facing upwards, contains a horizontal platform and a connection point with the stand 220. The base 210 contains two grooves near the stand, which include the downward-facing protrusions lying on it of the lower support 270 of the stack 202.

The stand 220 is made in the form of a round cylindrical glass, the walls of which are molded at the same time with the lid 280. In the rack 220, a central hole is made in which the glass 285 for writing stationery is placed, and the lid 280 is made in the form of a stand for small office supplies.

Supports 230, 250, 260 and 270 differ from each other in the arrangement and shape of the handles.

The support 230 is made in the form of a thin flat plate with a shoulder 232 encircling its upper plane and a shoulder 232 protruding above its upper plane, and contains one end with an opening for connection to the rack 220 and the second end with the platform 234 for CD 5. The hole for connection to the rack 220 is made with the possibility of placing the post 220 with a clearance providing rotation of the support 230 around the post 220 with minimal backlash. The hole for connection with the stand 220 is formed by the inner cylindrical surface 233 of the shoulder 235, protruding upward from the upper plane of the support 230, equal to

9

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the height of the collar 232 connected to it. On the upper edge of this collar 235 there are two depressions 236 in the form of tapering down grooves with inclined side surfaces, which include protrusions 237 of the support 270 corresponding to them in shape, located directly above the support 230. On the lower edge of this a collar 235, under the depressions 236, protrusions 237 corresponding to them in shape are formed, directed downward and included in their corresponding cavities in the upper edge 235 of the same collar of the support 250. The place for placing the compact discs is made in the form of a round plate flaps 234, which is bounded on the outside of the support 230 by a collar 232, and on the inside by a collar 231, equal in height to the collar 232. The compact disk 5 is placed on the site 234 with a gap with respect to the inner surface of the collars 232 and 231. The collars 232 and 231 perform the function of stops that limit the shift of the compact disk 5 relative to the site 234. Burt 232, in addition, covers the compact disk 5 from dust and the effects of accidental contamination from the outside. In the center, the platform 234 contains a hole 238 concentric with respect to it. The height of the collar 232 above the upper plane of the platform 234 is greater than the thickness of any compact disc 5 intended for laying on it. The collar 232 contains a cutout 239 for the thumb to grab onto the outer edge of the compact disc 5. The handle 42 is made on the protruding stack 202 near the plane L1-L2 and to the left of it, on the user side, element 40, made as a continuation of the horizontal plate of the support 230 outside the platform 234. The edge 41 of the protruding element 4 0 faces the plane L1-L2 and serves to abut it with your hand and thereby prevent the support 230 from turning when the adjacent support 250 from below or support 270 from above is pulled out of the stack 202. Ten form handle 242 from left (direction shown in a plan view, with cto- _<Rhone user), the second of L1-L2 plane vertical row.

The support 250 is placed in the stack 202 directly below the support 230 and differs from it in that it comprises an element 53 protruding outward of the stack with a handle 52 on the other side, that is, to the right of the plane L1-L2. The shape of the element 53 is symmetrical to the shape of the element 40 with respect to the plane L1-L2. The edge 51 of the protruding element 53 is facing the plane L1-L2 and serves to abut it with your hand and thereby prevent the support 250 from turning when the adjacent support 230 or support 260 is pulled out of the stack 2 of the adjacent two. Ten handles 52 form a second to the right of the plane L1 -L2 vertical row.

The support 260 is placed in the stack 202 directly below the support 250 and differs from the supports 230 and 250 in the arrangement and shape of the protruding outward stack of the element 63 with the handle 62, which is located to the left of the plane L1-L2 under the element 40. The edge 61 of the element 63 is located directly under the edge 41 element 40 and above the edge 71 of element 73 of the support 70. The edge 61 faces the plane L1-L2 and serves to abut against it by hand and, thereby, prevents

10

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) rotation of the rotation of the support 260 when extending from the stack 202 of the adjacent support 250 or support 270. Ten handles 62 form the first vertical row to the left of the plane L1-L2 and, relative to the handles 42 of the supports 230 and the handles 52 of the supports 250, are further from the axis L1 rotates the supports a distance corresponding to the size of the handle 62 in this direction.

The support 270 is placed in the stack 202 directly below the support 260 and contains a protruding element 73 with a handle 72 to the right of the plane L1-L2 under the protruding element 53 of the support 250. The shape of the protruding element 73 is symmetrical to the shape of the protruding element 63 relative to the plane L1-L2. The edge 71 of the element 73 is located immediately below the edge 61 of the element 63 and above the edge 41 of the element 40 of the support 230. The edge 71 faces the plane L1-L2 and serves to abut it with your hand and, thereby, prevent the rotation of the support 270 when pulling adjacent from the stack 202 supports 260 or supports 230 to it. Ten handles 72 form the first vertical row to the right of the plane L1-L2 and, relative to the handles 42 of the supports 30 and the handles 52 of the supports 250, are further from the axis L1 of turning the supports by a distance corresponding to the size of the handle 72 in in this direction.

Thus, the handles 42 and 62 located on the two elements closest to each other 40 and 63 form two vertical rows displaced from each other in the circumferential direction with respect to the L1 axis to the left of the plane L1-L2, and placed on the two elements closest to each other 73 and 53, the handles 72 and 52 form two vertical rows displaced from each other in a circumferential direction with respect to the L1 axis to the right of the plane L1-L2.
