Optical disc adhesive label applicator

An optical disc label applicator for applying an adhesive label on an optical disc concentrically with a central apperture of the optical disc, the applicator comprising:

• a base comprising a label supporting surface having a hole positioned within said label supporting surface;
• a plunger element having a first guide portion having a cross section corresponding to the central aperture of the optical disc and a second guide portion corresponding to a cross section of a central aperture of the adhesive label, said first guide portion and said second guide portion each abutting a shoulder region, said first guide portion being disposed for aligning the optical disc, said second guide portion being disposed for aligning the adhesive label, the first guide portion being slidably coupled in the hole so that the shoulder region is moveable from a first position in which the shoulder region is located above the label supporting surface to a second position in which the shoulder region is substantially flushed with or below the label supporting surface;
• a biasing element in cooperative arrangement with said base to bias said plunger element toward said first position;
• and
• a catch element in cooperative arrangement with the plunger element for preventing the shoulder region from moving to the first position.

A device for applying labels to an optical disc, said device comprising:

• a base having a label support platform;
• a hole positioned within the label support platform;
• a plunger element comprising an optical disc support platform and a lower element extending from the optical disc support platform, the lower element being slidably coupled in the hole so that the optical disc support platform is movable from a first position in which the optical disc support platform is located above the label support platform to a second position in which the optical disc support platform is substantially flush with or below the label support platform;
• and
• a catch element in cooperative arrangement with the plunger element for preventing the optical disc support platform from moving to the first position.

An optical disc label applicator for applying an adhesive label on an optical disc concentrically with a center opening of the optical disc, the applicator comprising:

• a base comprising a label supporting surface having a hole positioned within said label supporting surface;
• a plunger element adapted for being slidably received in said hole and having an optical disc support platform, said plunger element being movable from a first position in which the optical disc support platform is located above the label support platform to a second position in which the optical disc support platform is substantially flush with or below the label support platform;
• and
• a catch element in cooperative arrangement with the plunger element for preventing the optical disc support platform from moving to the first position.
