Abstract
An optical information recording disk having an improved eccentricity and reduced center hole wear. A metal plate lamination hub member is inserted into and fixed in a central hole in the substrate of the disk. The metal plate lamination member is formed of a metal plate and a resin hub member having center holes dimensioned and aligned such that the center hole in the metal plate forms the center hole of the disk. The metal plate and the resin hub member are attached to one another by ultrasonic welding. The metal plate may have a hardened layer at least around its center hole.
Claims10
An optical information recording disk comprising:
- a disk substrate having a recording layer formed on at least one surface thereof and having a center hole formed in a central position thereof;
- and
- a metal plate lamination member inserted into and fixed in said center hole of said substrate, said metal plate lamination member comprising a metal plate and a resin hub member, said metal plate and said resin hub member having respective center holes communicated with one another in an axial direction in such a manner that center positioning of said disk is effected by engaging the spindle with said center hole in said metal plate;
- wherein said metal plate has as plurality of protrusions equidistantly spaced therearound and extending in said axial direction, said protrusions being ultrasonically pressed into said resin hub member and welded thereto so as to adhere said metal plate to said resin hub member, wherein said protrusions are bent downward from a plane of said metal disk and have small holes formed in end portions thereof, wherein when said metal plate is ultrasonically welded to said hub, resin flows into said small holes to further secure said metal plate to said hub member.
The optical information recording disk, comprising:
- a pair of disk substrates, at least one of said disk substrates having a recording layer formed on at least one surface thereof and having a center hole formed in a central portion thereof;
- at least one metal plate lamination member inserted into and fixed in said center hole, said metal plate lamination member comprising a metal plate and a resin hub member, said metal plate and said resin hub member having respective center holes communicated with one another in an axial direction in such a manner that center positioning of said disk is effected by engaging said spindle with said center hole in said metal plate, said metal plate and said resin hub member being fixedly attached together by ultrasonic welding;
- an inner annular spacer;
- and an outer annular spacer, said pair of disk substrates being fixed to each other through said inner annular spacer and said outer annular spacer, wherein said metal plate has a plurality of protrusions equidistantly spaced therearound and extending in said axial direction, said protrusions being ultrasonically pressed into said resin hub member and welded thereto so as to adhere said metal plate to said resin hub member, wherein said protrusions are bent downward from a plane of said metal disk and have small holes formed in end portions thereof, wherein when said metal plate is ultrasonically welded to said hub, resin flows into said small holes to further secure said metal plate to said hub member.
