DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Please refer to FIG. 1 for an embodiment of the invention. The disk holding structure of the invention aims to hold disks (not shown in the drawing). It mainly includes a foldable pleated base 10 made from, but not limited to, paper, plastics and the like. The base 10 has a main body 11 and an anchor portion 12 connecting to the main body 11 (also referring to FIG. 2). The main body 11 has a plurality of connecting pleated portions 131 on two sides that are extended outwards to form an extensible holding area 13. The holding area 13 further has a confining portion 132 on an outer end. The anchor portion 12 has a positioning portion 121 which is insertable between the confining portion 132 and the pleated portions 131 to form an anchoring relationship so that the confining portion 132 may be anchored through the positioning portion 121. A holding pouch 20 is provided and bonded to two sides of the main body 11 between two corresponding pleated portions 131. The holding pouch 20 includes a spacer 21 and an outer membrane 22 located on an outer side of the spacer 21. There is an open trough 23 formed between the spacer 21 and the outer membrane 22 to hold a disk. The outer membrane 22 is formed on each of two sides of the spacer 21 so that each holding pouch 20 has two sides to hold the disk to increase disk holding capacity. To facilitate fast searching and retrieval of the disks, any two neighboring pleated portions 131 in the holding area 13 may be formed at different heights. Thereby the holding pouches 20 located therein are structured at different heights in a layer manner to improve disk searching efficiency.
The main body 11 may also be coupled with an outer layer 14 to cover the surface of the anchor portion 12. The outer layer 14 has a first bonding portion 141 on an inner side corresponding to a second bonding portion 122 located on the anchor portion 12 to form an anchoring relationship (referring to FIG. 3). Another approach is threading a harness rope 142 through the outer layer 14 to harness the main body 11 (referring to FIG. 4) to form an anchoring and covering effect. Yet another approach is forming an opening 123 on the anchor portion 12 (referring to FIG. 5) to be inserted by the outer layer 14 to form the anchoring relationship.
By means of the constructions set forth above, the disk holding structure of the invention can be made from paper or plastics. Fabrication and assembly are easier, and the cost is lower. It also is more environmental friendly. The extensible holding area 13 enables users to retrieve or hold disks easier. The carrying and storing space also can be greatly reduced.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims are intended to cover all embodiments which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.
