Abstract
CD player apparatus comprising a case having a front opening and side walls, and a slider in the case to carry a CD or DVD, and forwardly movable toward and partly through the front opening; a release at one side wall to be actuated to release the slider for forward movement relative to the front opening; an arm at the outer side of the side wall and supported to pivot toward and away from the release; and an actuator carried by the arm to be manually moved to pivot the arm toward the release to activate the release, whereby the slider can then move forward relative to the front opening.
Claims47
CD player apparatus comprising
- a) a case having a front opening and side walls, and a slider in the case to carry a CD or DVD, and forwardly movable toward and partly through said front opening,
- b) a release at one side wall to be actuated to release the slider for forward movement relative to said front opening,
- c) an arm operatively attached at or proximate a first end to the outer side of said side wall and supported to pivot toward and away from the release and said side wall,
- d) and an actuator carried by the arm to be manually moved to pivot the arm toward the release to activate the release, whereby the slider can then move forward relative to the front opening.
For use with a case having a front opening and side walls, and a slider in the case, the slider movable forwardly toward and at least partly through said first opening, the combination comprising:
- a) a release proximate one side wall of the case and actuable to release the slider for forward movement,
- b) an arm operatively attached at or proximate a first end to the outer side of said one side wall relative to the case, and supported to pivot in a direction toward and away from the release and said side wall,
- c) and a button carried to pivot the arm to actuate the release whereby the slider can then move forwardly relative to said case front opening.
CD player apparatus comprising
- a) a case having a front opening and side walls, and a slider in the case to carry a CD or DVD, and forwardly movable toward and partly through said front opening,
- b) a release at one side wall to be actuated to release the slider for forward movement relative to said front opening,
- c) a part at the outer side of said side wall and supported to move toward and away from the release,
- d) and an actuator to be manually moved to move said part toward the release to actuate the release, whereby the slider can then move forward relative to the front opening wherein the case side wall has a through opening, the release projecting toward said through opening to lock the slider to the case prior to activation of the release by the actuator, and including a spring arm at the inner side of said side wall carrying the release to resiliently pivot toward and away from said through opening, the spring arm carried by the slider.
