ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a disc storage box having a disc positioning device, and more particularly to a disc storage box having a disc positioning device, wherein the disc is exactly locked on the disc positioning device stably and rigidly, thereby preventing from detachment of the disc due to a violent vibration or shock.
2. Description of the Related Art
A first conventional disc storage box in accordance with the prior art shown in
FIG. 1
comprises a main body
10
, and a circular fixing seat
11
mounted on the main body
10
. The circular fixing seat
11
includes a plurality of helical shaped guide plates
12
for mounting a disc (not shown), a plurality of support arms
13
formed on the periphery of each of the guide plates
12
, and a plurality of locking slots
14
each located between any two adjacent support arms
13
. However, the disc is easily detached from the guide plates
12
due to a larger vibration or shock.
A second conventional disc storage box in accordance with the prior art shown in
FIG. 2
comprises a main body
20
, and a support seat
21
mounted on the main body
20
. The support seat
21
is formed with a plurality of partitions
22
and a plurality of locking arms
23
arranged in a staggered manner. The support seat
21
is formed with a press face
24
integrally formed with the plurality of partitions
22
. Each of the plurality of partitions
22
is formed with an oblique guide face
25
. Each of the plurality of partitions
22
is formed with a positioning face
27
connected to the support seat
21
. Each of the plurality of locking arms
23
is formed with an oblique guide face
28
. Each of the plurality of locking arms
23
is formed with a positioning face
28
connected to the support seat
21
. The positioning face
28
of each of the plurality of locking arms
23
is formed with a locking hook
29
. However, the user needs to apply a larger force on the press face
24
of the support seat
21
so as to detach the disc (not shown) from the locking hook
29
of the positioning face
28
of each of the plurality of locking arms
23
.
A third conventional disc storage box in accordance with the prior art shown in
FIG. 3
comprises a main body
30
, and a support seat
31
mounted on the main body
30
. The support seat
31
is formed with a locking lug
32
having a top formed with a press face
33
. The locking lug
32
of the support seat
31
is formed with three slits
34
, thereby forming three locking arms
35
. The support seat
31
is formed with a plurality of elastic slits
36
connected to the locking lug
32
. However, the locking arms
35
are easily broken during a long-term utilization or broken due to an excessive pressing force, thereby decreasing the lifetime of the disc storage box.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantage of the conventional disc storage boxes.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a disc storage box having a disc positioning device, wherein the disc is actually mounted on the disc positioning device easily and conveniently.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a disc storage box having a disc positioning device, wherein the disc is exactly locked on the disc positioning device stably and rigidly, thereby preventing from detachment of the disc due to a violent vibration or shock.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a disc storage box having a disc positioning device, wherein the disc is detached from the disc positioning device rapidly, easily and conveniently.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a disc storage box having a disc positioning device, comprising a main body, and a disc positioning device integrally formed on the main body, wherein:
the disc positioning device includes a locking portion;
the locking portion of the disc positioning device is formed on the center of the main body and has an inner periphery formed with a plurality of hook slots, the locking portion of the disc positioning device has a central portion formed with a protruding locking knob which has a top formed with a press face;
the locking knob of the locking portion of the disc positioning device has a periphery formed with a plurality of insertion blocks and a plurality of locking arms arranged in a staggered manner, the periphery of the locking knob of the locking portion of the disc positioning device is formed with a plurality of gaps each located between each of the insertion blocks and each of the locking arms;
each of the insertion blocks of the locking knob of the locking portion of the disc positioning device is formed with a slit which is extended outward and connected to one of the hook slots of the locking portion; and
each of the locking arms of the locking knob of the locking portion of the disc positioning device is formed with a protruding boss.
Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
