disk case 10 is provided at upper and lower parts thereof withcoupling protrusions 11 andcoupling grooves 11 a, respectively, by which therespective disk cases 10 are coupled with each other in a multilayered fashion. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 to 10 , thecoupling protrusions 11 and thecoupling grooves 11 a are formed at four corners of eachdisk case 10. As shown in the drawings, thecoupling protrusions 11 are formed at the upper part of eachdisk case 10, and thecoupling grooves 11 a are formed at the lower part of eachdisk case 10. However, it is also possible to form thecoupling protrusions 11 and the coupling grooves 11 a at the lower and upper parts of therespective disk cases 10, respectively. - The coupling between neighboring disk cases of the disk safekeeping device according to the present invention is shown in
FIG. 6 . - As shown in
FIG. 6 , the upper andlower disk cases 10 are coupled with each other by the insertion of thecoupling protrusions 11 into thecorresponding coupling grooves 11 a. When a plurality ofdisk cases 10 are coupled with each other with the result that the height of the coupleddisk cases 10 is greater than the width of the coupleddisk cases 10, the coupleddisk cases 10 may be twisted or separated from each other due to a force applied to the coupleddisk cases 10 from the side. In order to prevent the occurrence of this problem, therefore,fixing pins 50 are inserted through therespective disk cases 10 such that the coupleddisk cases 10 can be securely fixed to each other. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , thefixing pins 50 may be formed in the shape of a long bolt extending from thelowermost disk case 10 to theuppermost disk case 10. - The
disk cases 10 coupled with each other in a multilayered fashion have the same structure. Eachdisk case 10 hasdisk ejection plates 3 for easily ejecting thecorresponding disk 100. - As shown in
FIGS. 4 and 5 , thedisk ejection plates 3 serve to push opposite sides of the rear part of thecorresponding disk 100 forward such that thecorresponding disk 100 is ejected out of eachdisk case 10. - Hereinafter, the construction of each
disk case 10 having thedisk ejection plates 3 will be described in more detail. - The
disk case 10 according to the present invention is very similar to a disk case registered as a patent in the name of the applicant of the present patent application. - The
disk case 10 according to the present invention includes acase body 1 anddisk ejection plates 3 mounted in thecase body 1. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thecase body 1 is constructed in a structure in which upper and lower jaws are formed at the edges of a plate body having a predetermined size, and a supporting unit for supporting adisk 100 and another supporting unit for supporting thedisk ejection plate 3 are formed in the plate body. The front part of thecase body 1 is opened to form a disk insertion groove 1 a through which thedisk 100 can be inserted and elected. Thecase body 1 is provided at opposite sides of the rear part thereof where thedisk ejection plates 3 are mounted with one or more disk ejectionplate guide protrusions case body 1 is provided at opposite sides of the front part thereof withdisk supporting protrusions 13 for supporting the bottom of thedisk 100 such that thedisk 100 is movable horizontally. - The disk ejection
plate guide protrusions guide grooves 34 and 35 formed in the lower part of eachdisk ejection plate 3 for supporting eachdisk ejection plate 3 such that eachdisk ejection plate 3 is movable horizontally. - Each
disk ejection plate 3 includes adisk pressing part 31 formed in the shape of an arc such that thedisk pressing part 31 is opposite to the corresponding side of the rear part of thedisk 100 and ahandle part 32 pushed by a hand of a user such that thedisk pressing part 31 is movable horizontally. Consequently, when the user pushes thehandle parts 32 toward the center of thecase body 1, thedisk pressing parts 31 move to the center of thecase body 1. As a result, thedisk pressing parts 31 push the opposite sides of the rear part of thedisk 100, and therefore, thedisk 100 is ejected forward. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , adisk insertion groove 31 a is formed in each arc-shapeddisk pressing part 31, which is formed in the inside of the front part of thedisk ejection plate 3, such that the disk insertion groove 31 a horizontally extends a predetermined length. Consequently, thedisk 100 is stably supported by thedisk insertion grooves 31 a. - After the
disk ejection plates 3 with the above-stated construction are pushed toward the center of thecase body 1 by the user, thedisk ejection plates 3 must be returned to their original positions, i.e., the opposite edges of thecase body 1. To this end, thedisk case 10 further includes restoring springs 4 for returning thedisk ejection plates 3 to their original positions. - The restoring springs 4 serve to pull the
disk ejection plates 3 toward the opposite sides of thecase body 1. One end of each restoring spring 4 is fixed to thecase body 1, and the other end of each restoring spring 4 is fixed to the correspondingdisk ejection plate 3. - In order to locate the restoring springs 4 for the returning the
disk ejection plates 3 to their original positions, aspring location groove 33 is formed in the middle part of eachdisk ejection plate 3 such that thespring location groove 33 horizontally extends a predetermined length. Inside thespring location groove 33 is formed a spring fixing protrusion 33 a. - In the
disk case 10 constructed in a structure in which thedisk 100 is ejected by thedisk ejection plates 3 as described above, when thecase body 1 of thedisk case 10 tilts forward, thedisk 100 received in thedisk case 10 is ejected out of thedisk case 10 through the disk insertion groove 1 a. As a result, the ejecteddisk 100 may collide with thedisk case 10 or other objects, whereby thedisk 100 may be damaged. - In order to solve this problem, i.e., to prevent the ejection of the disk without the operation of the
disk ejection plates 3, thedisk case 10 may further include lockingplates 2 for supporting the middle part or the front part of thedisk 100. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thelocking plates 2 are mounted at the opposite sides of thecase body 10 for pushing the opposite sides of thedisk 100 to support thedisk 100. - Each locking
plate 2 includes a lockingpart 22 rotatably fixed to a corresponding fixingprotrusion 12 formed at thecase body 1 at one end thereof for supporting one side of thedisk 100 and a supportingpart 21 for elastically supporting the lockingpart 22. - The supporting
part 21 and the lockingpart 22 are arranged such that both the supportingpart 21 and the lockingpart 22 form a V-shape. That is, a rotation space 21 a is defined between the supportingpart 21 and the lockingpart 22. Consequently, when the lockingparts 22 are rotated about fixingholes 2 a, in which the corresponding fixingprotrusions 12 are inserted, the supportingparts 21 elastically support thecorresponding locking parts 22. As a result, the lockingparts 22 support the opposite sides of thedisk 100. - In the inside of each locking
part 22, i.e., in the end of each lockingpart 22 opposite to thedisk 100, adisk insertion groove 22 a having a thickness greater than the thickness of thedisk 100, as shown inFIG. 3 , such that one side of the disk can be stably supported by thedisk insertion groove 22 a. - Also, a
label attachment part 1 b is formed at least one side of thecase body 1 constituting thedisk case 10 such that a label showing the content of thedisk 100 received in thedisk case 10 can be attached to thelabel attachment part 1 b. In addition, asponge 16 is mounted in the inner front part of thecase body 1 for removing foreign matter from the surface of thedisk 100. - The
disk cases 10 with the above-stated construction are coupled with each other by the insertion of thecoupling protrusions 11 into the correspondingcoupling grooves 11 a. After thedisk cases 10 are coupled in a multilayered fashion, abottom cover 20 may be fixed to the bottom of thelowermost disk case 10, and atop cover 30 may be fixed to the top of theuppermost disk case 10. - A disk safekeeping device may be constructed by only coupling the
respective disk cases 10 in the multilayered fashion. In this case, however, the disk safekeeping device does not provide aesthetically pleasing external appearance. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to store the disk safekeeping device. For this reason, thebottom cover 20 and thetop cover 30 are fixed to the bottom of thelowermost disk case 10 and the top of theuppermost disk case 10, respectively. - The
bottom cover 20 and thetop cover 30 are formed in the same shape as of thedisk case 10. - The
top cover 30 is constructed in a three-layer structure, whereby the coupling between thetop cover 30 and thecorresponding disk case 10 is easily accomplished, and an illumination unit is mounted in thetop cover 30. - Specifically, the
top cover 30 includes anupper plate 310, alower plate 330, and alight transmission plate 320 interposed between theupper plate 310 and thelower plate 330. - The
lower plate 330 is fixed to theuppermost disk case 10 among the disk cases coupled with each, other in a multilayered fashion. While theupper plate 310 and thelight transmission plate 320 are coupled with each other, catchingprotrusions 322 formed at the lower part of thelight transmission plate 320 are caught by the edges of thelower plate 330. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , theupper plate 310 has acircuit board 30 d and abattery 30 b mounted therein. In theupper plate 310 is also mounted abutton 30 c for allowing a user to push a switch disposed in thecircuit board 30 d. - As shown in
FIGS. 7 and 8 , theupper plate 310 is also provided at four corners thereof with fixingprotrusions 311, which are coupled with thelight transmission plate 320, such that fixing screws penetrating thelight transmission plate 320 are securely fixed in the corresponding fixingprotrusions 311. - The
light transmission plate 320 is made of transparent synthetic resin or glass. As shown inFIG. 7 , thelight transmission plate 320 is formed in the shape of a loop. Thelight transmission plate 320 is provided along the inside edge of the upper part thereof with a reinforcingwing 323, which extends toward the inside of thelight transmission plate 320. In the reinforcingwing 323 are formed a plurality oflamp fixing grooves 324. - In the
lamp fixing grooves 324 are securely insertedlamps 30 a, respectively. Thelamps 30 a are connected to thecircuit board 30 d mounted in theupper plate 310 for emitting light when thelamps 30 a are energized by thebattery 30 b or another commercial power supply. - Preferably, the
lamps 30 a are mounted at the front of thedisk case 10 and the right and left sides of thedisk case 10 at least, as shown inFIG. 7 . - As shown in
FIG. 7 , the catchingprotrusions 322 are formed at the lower part of thelight transmission plate 320. Each catchingprotrusion 322 has a jaw formed at the lower end thereof. Consequently, as shown inFIG. 8 , the jaws formed at the lower ends of the catchingprotrusions 322 are caught by the lower part of thelower plate 330 with the result that thelight transmission plate 320 is fixed to thelower plate 330. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , a plurality of fixingholes 332 are formed through thelower plate 330 such that the catchingprotrusions 322 formed at the lower part of thelight transmission plate 320 inserted through the corresponding fixing holes 332. At the corners of thelower plate 330 are formed fixingprotrusions 331, by which thelower plate 330 is fixed to theuppermost disk case 10. - At the lower part of the
bottom cover 20 fixed to thelowermost disk case 10 is further mounted asupport 40 for rotatably supporting thebottom cover 20. - In order to further mount the
support 40, thebottom cover 20 is provided at the center thereof with asupport coupling groove 210 which is bent upward in the shape of a circle. Thesupport 40 is provided with acoupling protrusion 410 which is formed in the shape of a circle such that thecoupling protrusion 410 corresponds to thesupport coupling groove 210 formed at thebottom cover 20. - As shown in
FIG. 9 , thesupport coupling groove 210 formed at thebottom cover 20 is formed in the shape of a circular groove when viewing from the bottom thereof, and thecoupling protrusion 410 formed at thesupport 40 is formed in the shape of a circular protrusion when viewing from the top thereof. Consequently, thesupport 40 is coupled with thebottom cover 20 while thecoupling protrusion 410 is fitted in thesupport coupling groove 210, and therefore, thebottom cover 20 is rotatably supported by thesupport 40. - When the
bottom cover 20 is lifted upward while thecoupling protrusion 410 is fitted in thesupport coupling groove 210, thesupport 40 is separated from thebottom cover 20. In order to prevent the separation of thesupport 40 from thebottom cover 20, therefore, a catchingprotrusion 211 is formed at the inner end of thesupport coupling groove 210 formed along thebottom cover 20 such that the catchingprotrusion 211 extends downward and is then bent outward, and a catchingjaw 411 is formed along the inner end of thecoupling protrusion 410 such that the catchingprotrusion 211 can be caught by the catchingjaw 411. - As the
support coupling groove 210 is brought into surface contact with thecoupling protrusion 410 as described above, however, the frictional force between thesupport coupling groove 210 and thecoupling protrusion 410 increases with the result that thebottom cover 20 is not smoothly rotated relative to thesupport 40. In order to accomplish smoother rotation of thebottom cover 20 relative to thesupport 40, therefore, a plurality ofballs 420 are further mounted between thesupport coupling groove 210 and thecoupling protrusion 410. - In order to further mount the
balls 420, a plurality ofball location grooves 412, in which theballs 420 are located, are formed in the top of thecoupling protrusion 410 of thesupport 40, and arail groove 212 is formed along the inside of thesupport coupling groove 210 formed at thebottom cover 20. - The
balls 420 located in the respectiveball location grooves 412 formed in thecoupling protrusion 410 rotate in the respectiveball location grooves 412, and therail groove 212 positioned on theballs 410 is moved by the rotation of theballs 410, whereby the bottom cover is smoothly rotated relative to thesupport 40. - The
support 40 with the above-stated construction is made of synthetic resin or iron. Consequently, when thesupport 40 is placed on a room floor or a piece of furniture, such as a table, thesupport 40 may slide or damage the room floor or the furniture. - In order to prevent the
support 40 from sliding or damaging the room floor or the furniture, therefore, a plurality of shock-absorbingmembers 430 may be attached to the bottom of thesupport 40 as shown inFIGS. 9 and 10 . - The shock-absorbing
members 430 serve to isolate the bottom of thesupport 40 from the room floor or the surface of the furniture and to produce friction between the shock-absorbingmembers 430 and the room floor or the surface of the furniture. The shock-absorbingmembers 430 are made of rubber or soft synthetic resin. As shown inFIGS. 9 and 10 , thesupport 40 is provided at the bottom thereof with a plurality of fixing grooves in which the corresponding shock-absorbingmembers 430 are securely fixed; however, the shock-absorbingmembers 430 may be attached to the edge of thesupport 40 or throughout the bottom of thesupport 40. - At the top of each
disk case 10 constituting the disk safekeeping device with the above-stated construction may be further mounted acover plate 5 as shown inFIG. 3 . - The
cover plate 5 serves to prevent thedisk ejection plates 3 and thelocking plates 2 mounted in thecase body 1 of thedisk case 10 from being separated from thecase body 1 of thedisk case 10. Consequently, thecover plate 5 may be omitted when a pressing unit for pressing thedisk ejection plates 3 and thelocking plates 2 is provided at the bottom of thecase body 1. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thecover plate 5 is provided at the lower part thereof with a plurality of case body coupling protrusions 58. Each casebody coupling protrusion 58 has a jaw formed at the lower end thereof. The jaws of the casebody coupling protrusions 58 are caught by the lower part of thecase body 1 through cover plate coupling holes 18 formed at the edge of thecase body 1, whereby thecover plate 5 is fixed to thecase body 1. - The
case body 1 of eachdisk case 10 constituting the disk safekeeping device with the above-stated construction may be made of a transparent material, such as transparent synthetic resin. When thecase body 1 of eachdisk case 10 is made of the transparent material, light emitted from thelamps 30 a mounted in thetop cover 30 is illuminated from theuppermost disk case 10 to thelowermost disk case 10, whereby an interior decoration effect is obtained. - As apparent from the above description, the fabricated disk safekeeping device according to the present invention is constructed in a structure in which a plurality of disk cases are stacked one on another in a multilayered fashion such that the disk cases are coupled with each other. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of easily adjusting the number of disks safely kept in the fabricated disk safekeeping device.
- Also, each disk case according to the present invention includes disk ejection plates for easily ejecting a disk. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of easily ejecting a disk safely kept in each disk case by the operation of the disk ejection plates. In addition, each disk case according to the present invention includes locking plates for supporting a disk. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of preventing a disk from being caught by a portion of each disk case and thus being damaged.
- Also, the fabricated disk safekeeping device according to the present invention is constructed in a structure in which a plurality of disk cases, stacked one on another in a multilayered fashion, are mounted on a support such that the stacked disk cases can be rotated relative to the support. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of easily adjusting a disk withdrawal direction in which disks safely kept in the disk cases are withdrawn. In addition, a top cover is fixed to the uppermost disk case, and an illumination unit is mounted in the top cover. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of a user easily finding and withdrawing disks using the illumination unit in a dark place.
- Furthermore, each disk case is made of a transparent material such that light emitted from the illumination unit is illuminated from the uppermost disk case to the lowermost disk case. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of providing an interior decoration effect.
- Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
