Disk retaining structure for a disk box
Abstract
A disk retaining structure, disposed inside a disk box and adapted to hold a disk, comprises a flat base disposed on a central part of the disk box; a pair of finger strips integrally formed at a central part of the flat base and each of the finger strips can be bent relative to the flat base. Two retaining pieces are respectively disposed adjacent to two upper edges of two outside surfaces of the finger strips and each of them has a flange at a bottom edge of a free end thereof. Two supporting pieces are respectively disposed adjacent to two lower edges of the outside surfaces of the finger strips. A buckling structure is provided between the two finger strips. When the finger strips are pinched, a disk can be conveniently placed horizontally on the retaining structure.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A disk retaining structure disposed inside a disk box and adapted to hold a disk, comprising:
A flat base disposed on a central part of the disk box; A pair of finger strips integrally formed at a central part of the flat base and disposed opposite to each other with a predetermined space separating them; A pair of security pillars integrally formed at the central part of the flat base and disposed adjacent to the finger strips and opposite to each other with a predetermined space separating them; Two retaining pieces each respectively disposed adjacent to an upper edge of an outside surface of the finger strips and respectively extended outwardly from an upper edge of the outside surface of the finger strips and the retaining pieces each having a flange at a bottom edge of a free end thereof; Two supporting pieces each respectively disposed adjacent to a lower edge of the outside surface of the finger strips and respectively extends outwardly from the lower edge of the outside surface of the finger strips and a front end of the supporting piece curves inwardly so that two symmetric protruding holders are formed between the supporting pieces and the retaining pieces with a predetermined vertical distance higher than a thickness of the disk; and A buckling structure provided between the two finger strips and having a male clasping and a female clasping, whereby the male clasping clasps to the female clasping when the finger strips are pinched so that it is convenient for the disk to be placed horizontally on the retaining structure.
2 . The disk retaining structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of the finger strips can be bent relative to the flat base, whereby the male clasping clasps to the female clasping when the finger strips are pinched to place the disk horizontally on the disk retaining structure or for removing the disk from the disk retaining structure.
3 . The disk retaining structure according to claim 1 , wherein each security pillar has two symmetric arc surfaces on an outside wall thereof and the arc surfaces touch a periphery of a central hole of the disk for securing the disk and the security pillars are higher than the finger strips for prevent the disk from being stolen and for preventing the disk sliding around on the disk retaining structure and to allow easy removal of the disk from the disk retaining structure.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
