Abstract
A compact disc labeling device for manual application of a label to a compact disc includes an assembly having a circumferential flange with an upper flange surface, a piston, a first rod having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the label's central aperture and that extends from the upper surface of the piston, and a second rod having a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the disc's central aperture and that extends from the first rod. In use, a label is placed on the flange with the first rod projecting through its central aperture and the disc positioned on the second rod through its central aperture. When the piston is moved from an upper first position to a lower second position, the disc is applied to the label.
Claims26
A device for applying a first substantially planar member having a central aperture of a first diameter to a second substantially planar member having a central aperture of a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter, the device comprising:
- an assembly having a circumferential flange with an upper surface capable of supporting the first planar member;
- a piston member being held in said assembly and adapted to slide in said assembly, said piston member having a top surface;
- a first rod having a diameter slightly less than the first diameter, and extending from the top surface of said piston member;
- and
- a second rod having a diameter slightly less than the second diameter, and extending from said first rod,
- wherein said piston member is adapted to move from a first position in which said second rod and at least a portion of said first rod extend above said upper surface to a second position in which at least said first rod is entirely below or is level with said upper surface.
A compact disc label adapted to permit visual inspection of a disc to which the label is applied.
A device for applying a first substantially planar member having a central aperture of a first diameter to a second substantially planar member having a central aperture of a second diameter, wherein the first diameter is greater than the second diameter, the device comprising:
- an assembly having a circumferential flange with an upper surface capable of supporting the first planar member;
- a capturing member held in said assembly adapted to cooperate with said assembly to move in a piston-like manner;
- a first rod having a diameter slightly less than the first diameter and extending from said capturing member;
- and
- a second rod having a diameter slightly less than the second diameter, and extending from said first rod,
- wherein said capturing member is adapted to move from a first position in which said second rod and at least a portion of said first rod extend above said upper surface to a second position in which at least said first rod is entirely below or is level with said upper surface.
