  • Patent number: 6279960
    Abstract: A label sheet having at least two labels for a compact disc. The compact disc has a read side and a reverse side with an outer diameter of the readable or writable area of the read side being less than the outer diameter of the disc and having a first inner diameter forming an aperture for the disc and a second inner diameter which is larger than the first forming a step. The labels have a dimension so that an inner diameter of the label forming an aperture or opening in the label is greater than the second internal diameter of the disc, preferably by an amount of 2 mm to 4 mm, and the label has an outer diameter which is less than the outer diameter of the readable or writable area, so that an annular ring of the readable area is visible around the periphery of the label.

  • Patent number: 6240990
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for centrally applying a perforated label to a compact disc or the like, having a base with a supporting plate with a central drilling for the label, and to provide optimum handling, proposes that a central pin (5) secured to the base pass through the central drilling (26), the supporting surface (9) project and be retractable against the force of a spring (20) perpendicularly to the plane (14) compressed by the outer edge (130 of the supporting surface (9) into a guide (21) integral with the base.

  • Patent number: 6240991
    Abstract: A device for applying a label to a compact disk is provided. The device includes a base plate that has a central opening through which a label projection member extends. The diameter of the label projection member is slightly smaller than the diameter of the central opening for the label of the compact disk thereby enabling the label to be placed on the base plate and over the label projection member with the adhesive side facing upwards. The device also includes a press-cover which includes a guiding projection member which frictionally engages the central opening of the compact disk. The label projection member also includes a central recess for accommodating the guiding projection of the press-cover. The guiding projection member, with the compact disk mounted thereon, is inserted into the central recess of the label projection member and the press-cover, compact disk and label projection member are pressed downward until the compact disk engages the adhesive side of the label.
