Containers for vinyl or video records

The invention relates to a container for sound or image plates, in particular for so-called compact discs, with ^r in the characterizing part of claim Obe features mentioned 1 * Such Benälter is known from DE-PS 22 48 408 is known; however, the awning container is intended and suitable for compact cassettes.

In the known container, the holder is open on both sides, so that the cassette can be grasped from the side and over the front wall of the holder can lift away. However, the application of this principle to disk-shaped recording media proves to be problematic insofar as the players, especially for the compact discs, are constructed in such a way that the disc - the against Finger sweat is relatively insensitive - on their main surfaces Pliers-like grasped and into an insertion slot of the player pushes. It is therefore for ease of use that is especially important when using the container in one Motor vehicle for operation by the driver, it is desirable that the disc as it is removed from and inserted into the receptacle; can and should be recorded in the same way.

According to the invention, this is achieved by the construction of the container as defined in claim 1.

Either the front wall can be swiveled away by itself or it can be tilted together with the entire holder. Sensible it is when the side of the plate facing the holder can be detected, for what purpose it can be provided that the Front wall cutout into the - if available - extends the bottom of the holder.

Two embodiments of the subject matter of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings explained in detail.

Fig. 1 shows in perspective, partially broken away, a container according to the invention,

Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view through the container according to FIG. 1,

Fig. 3 shows in perspective the front area of a second embodiment, and

Fig. 4 schematically shows the tilting mechanism of the holders in the second type.

In FIG. 1, an essentially cuboid housing 500 can be seen with an open front side, in which six holders 502 arranged parallel to one another are slidably guided. The guiding takes place in grooves 504 in the Gehäuseseitenwandungen 506, in which ^P EADERSHIP cam 508 engage the holder. A second set of grooves and cams is provided above that which can be seen in the cutout, so that the holders are securely guided; the front ends of the grooves define the outer end position of the holder. In the bottom area of the housing, leaf springs 510 are mounted clamped on one side in this, which act on the rear edge of the holder facing away from the front. All six leaf springs could also consist of a common comb-shaped stamped and bent part.

The holders comprise a plate-shaped main part 512, the Cross-sectional contour is shown in Fig. 2. Accordingly, each holder is trough-like on the side where a disc 514 rests on it deepened with the result that with a relative movement. the disc with regard to the holder in question.

I Each front wall has a cutout 530, which is

to a certain extent can be loaded "blindly". A web 538 connects the two parts of the front wall on both sides of the cutout, but this web is on the edge facing away from the main part 512 | the front wall provided so that the cutout is not covered.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the entire holder cn tilts an axis near its end inside the housing, as will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. In Fig. 3 you can see the one retracted holder 550 and the housing 552; It should be noted that the holder in Figure 3 is drawn too far extended to illustrate its structure; in the | In reality, it only extends so far out of the housing that it can just execute the mentioned tilting movement when its bottom surface 554 has passed the front of the housing. Approximately centrally in the front wall \ a L-shaped in cross section covering angle is hinged to the holder at i 558 556; it is spring biased into the position shown in Figure 3 folded down] position and automatically places when inserting the holder f in the housing in the covering position to, pointing to e which located under it, flush with the housing front upper edge of the next lower holder or. - in the case of the lowest holder 500 '- runs onto the bottom of the housing.

The spring arrangement for biasing the holder in the extension position and the release button with a bolt that can be manually disengaged correspond to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As can be seen in FIG. 4, which is largely schematized, each holder comprises a holder that is guided along the side walls of the housing Frame, the lateral cheeks 560 of which run parallel to the extension direction and have approximately triangular cutouts. The the Front wall 562 opposite housing-inner holder rear wall 564 is provided with an extension 566 which runs in a groove 568; this groove is located in the intermediate floor 570 of the housing or for the lowest holder - in the bottom of the case. When the extension hits the end edge 574 of the Groove, the holder has just extended out of the housing so that its bottom surface 554 has passed the front of the housing * and since the extension spring acts on the holder above the extension, sif.h, eifl.jDr.ehin.öntent .. around the lower edge 576 * die

leads to tilting of the holder. To push the holder back in, it is tilted back and pushed in by hand, after which the locking mechanism engages automatically.

The intermediate floors 570 extend in the direction of the front of the housing to the line where the end edge 580 of the base plate 544 is when the holder is inserted, so that the disc then can rest partly on the intermediate floor, partly on this base plate. As mentioned above, these parts are preferably trough-like deepened, but this is not shown in Figs.

In a variant it can be provided that of the intermediate floors webs extend to the front wall of the respective holder, which in corresponding cutouts of the base plate 544 so that the disc can be inserted easily.
