  • Swingable arrest keys can be provided in that a rotary articulation of the arrest key is arranged between a pressure area provided for manual actuation and a holding projection to act upon the information carrier.
  • the rotary articulation be arranged in an area of the arrest key away from the holding projection.
  • a removal of the information carrier on performance of a rotary motion is achieved in that two arrest keys are swung in the same direction relative to a midpoint of the information carrier upon manual actuation.
  • a removal of the information carrier from the cassette upon performance of a thrusting motion is achieved in that two arrest keys are swung in opposed directions relative to a center of the information carrier upon manual actuation.
  • a modified holding of the information carrier may be arrived at in that the information carrier is acted upon by a groove in the area of the arrest key.
  • An additional clamping of the information carrier may also be produced in that the groove comprises side walls extending at an angle to each other.
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of a device hinged open, having two holding keys arranged opposed to each other in accordance with the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-section view of the device of FIG. 1, the section being taken along line II-II thereof in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1 but showing a modified embodiment having swingable holding keys, all in accordance with the present invention

  • FIG. 9 is a diagrammatical view showing an enlarged representation of a clamp element to apply clamping forces both transverse to the plate plane and also within the plate plane in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which a cassette 2 is used to accommodate a discoid information carrier 1 .
  • the cassette 2 consists of a top 3 , a bottom 4 and a back 5 connecting the top 3 to the bottom 4 .
  • the top 3 and the bottom 4 are each connected to the back 5 by film articulations 6 , 7 .
  • a support element 8 for the information carrier 1 is arranged in the area of the bottom 4 .
  • the support element 8 may be configured as a separate insert for the bottom 4 , or alternatively a one-piece embodiment may be adopted.
  • two arrest keys 9 are employed for releasable fixation of the information carrier 1 in the area of the support element 8 .
  • spring elements 10 are arranged to act upon the information carrier 1 .
  • the spring elements 10 press the information carrier 1 in a direction away from the support element 8 and, upon actuation of the arrest key 9 , produce a lifting motion of the information carrier 1 .
  • top 3 is provided with spring tongues 12 .
  • Clamp tongues 13 are employed to retain top 3 in a closed position relative to bottom 4 .
  • the support element 8 comprises a tub-like conformation whose dimensioning is adapted to a dimensioning of the information carrier 1 .
  • information carriers 1 for example compact disks or DVDs may be accommodated.
  • the support element 8 is provided with a central bracket 14 extending through a central hole 15 of the information carrier 1 and serving to center the information carrier 1 .
  • the information carrier 1 is supported at least locally by a feature 16 of the support element 8 .
  • An additional support is provided by a flange 17 in a vicinity of the central bracket 14 .
  • the arrest key 9 is provided with a holding projection 18 and an entry bevel 19 . Upon insertion of the information carrier 1 , it at first slides along the entry incline 19 , thereby bending back the arrest key 9 . After a sufficient lowering of the information carrier 1 , the arrest key 9 springs back and the holding projection 18 surmounts the information carrier 1 . During the insertion of the information carrier 1 , the spring element 10 is tensed synchronously.

  • the arrest keys 9 are here swingable relative to an axis of rotation component extending substantially perpendicular to the plate plane of the information carrier 1 . Upon actuation of the arrest keys 9 , these are swung with their holding projections 18 away from the information carrier 1 by the swinging motion, so that the information carrier may be removed from the cassette 2 .
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment in which the information carrier 1 is held by a U-shaped groove 21 in the area of the arrest key 9 .
  • the groove 21 is bounded by a support projection 22 in the area of one side of the holding projection 18 and in the area of an opposed side of a support projection 22 .
  • the arrest key 9 has a pressure area 23 to support a manual actuation and the performance of an opening and closing motion of a swing base 24 . Upon swinging of the arrest key 9 , after release of the information carrier 1 by the holding projection 18 , a lifting by the support projection 22 takes place.
  • FIG. 5 shows a simplified representation of a swingable arrest key 9 positionable perpendicular to the plane of the information carrier 1 relative to an axis of rotation.
  • the axis of rotation is schematized as a pin-like pivot 25 .
  • FIG. 6 shows a modified embodiment with respect to FIG. 5, in which the rotary articulation 5 is arranged at a greater distance from the information carrier 1 .
  • the idea is that in manual actuation a user's finger acts on the arrest key 9 between the rotary articulation 25 and the information carrier 1 .
  • the idea was to perform the action in question on a side of the arrest key 9 away from the information carrier 1 .
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a possible arrangement of spring elements 10 relative to the arrest key 9 .
  • spring elements 10 are provided both on the left and on the right.
  • the spring element 10 was arranged between lateral boundary struts of the arrest keys.
  • the arrest key 9 is provided with an inclined flank 26 to act upon the information carrier 1 .
