Abstract
A compact disk labeling system for use in applying an adhesive label to a surface of a compact disk. The system comprises a side wall with a shape that substantially matches the exterior shape of the compact disk and which registers the compact disk. A flat shelf is formed a predetermined distance below an upper edge of the side wall that forms an upper cavity. The shelf has a central opening with a plurality of slots extending outward therefrom toward the side wall. A hub is formed on the shelf that comprises a plurality of tabs that extend away from a top surface of the shelf. The hub is sized to allow a central hole in the adhesive label to register thereto. The central opening and slots in the shelf allow the hub to flex.

A compact disk labeling system for use in applying an adhesive label to a compact disk comprising:
- a side wall having a shape that substantially matches the exterior shape of the compact disk and which registers the compact disk;
- a flat shelf formed a predetermined distance below an upper edge of the side wall that forms an upper cavity, and that has a central opening formed therein with a plurality of slots extending outward therefrom toward the side wall;
- and
- a hub comprising a plurality of tabs that extend away from a top surface of the flat shelf, which hub is sized to allow a central hole in the adhesive label to register thereto, and wherein the central opening and slots in the flat shelf allow the hub to flex.
A compact disk labeling system for use in applying an adhesive label to a compact disk, comprising:
- a side wall having a shape that substantially matches the exterior shape of the compact disk and which registers the compact disk;
- a flat shelf formed a predetermined distance below an upper edge of the side wall that forms an upper cavity, and that has a central opening formed therein with a plurality of slots extending outward therefrom toward the side wall;
- and
- a hub comprising a plurality of tabs that extend away from a top surface of the flat shelf, which hub is sized to allow a central hole in the adhesive label to register thereto, and wherein the central opening and slots in the flat shelf allow the hub to flex;
- and whereby the adhesive label is placed over the hub with its adhesive side exposed, the compact disk is placed in the cavity and is registered by the side wall, the compact disk is pressed toward the flat shelf which depresses the tabs of the hub so that the compact disk contacts the adhesive side of the adhesive label to attach the adhesive label the compact disk.
In a compact disk labeling system for use in applying an adhesive label to a compact disk, apparatus for releasably holding the adhesive label, comprising:
- a substantially flat surface having a plurality of slots formed therein;
- and
- a hub comprising a plurality of tabs that extend away from the flat surface on which the adhesive label is disposed, which hub is sized to allow a central hole in the adhesive label to register thereto, and wherein the plurality of slots in the flat shelf allow the hub to flex away from the non-adhesive surface of the adhesive label in a direction opposite to the direction that the tabs extend to allow application of the label to the compact disk.
