Abstract
Abstract An optical recording disc comprises a first bonding recess formed near an outside surface of an optical recording disc in a bonding boundary portion between a cylindrical hub and a transparent disc substrate, a disc member bonded with said transparent disc substrate through said cylindrical hub, and a second bonding recess formed near the outside surface of said optical recording disc in a bonding boundary portion between said cylindrical hub and said disc member. Accordingly, said optical recording disc can prevent remainder of a bonding material for bonding a pair of said transparent disc substrates or said transparent disc substrate and said disc member together from pushing out of the outside surface of the optical recording disc, resulting in that focusing for reading and writing an information signal can be properly performed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
269 words
An optical recording disc comprising: a cylindrical hub having a center hole for insertion of a spindle of a recording and playback device, a first disc unit comprising a first transparent disc substrate having a center hole in which said cylindrical hub is inserted and bonded, a resin layer formed on an inner surface of said transparent disc substrate and a recording layer formed on said resin layer, and a disc member being one of a second disc unit comprising a second transparent disc substrate having a center hole in which said cylindrical hub is inserted and bonded, a resin layer formed on an inner surface of said second transparent disc substrate and a recording layer formed on said resin layer or a reinforcement disc comprising a reinforcement disc substrate bonded to said cylindrical hub, said first transparent disc substrate including a first chamfer portion for receiving a bonding material for bonding said cylindrical hub and said first transparent disc substrate, said first chamfer portion being formed in a rim portion of an outside surface of said first transparent disc substrate at a boundary between said cylindrical hub and said transparent disc substrate, said second transparent disc substrate or reinforcement disc substrate of said disc member including a second chamfer portion for receiving a bonding material to bond said cylindrical hub and said transparent disc substrate or said reinforcement disc substrate, said second chamfer portion being formed in a rim portion of an outside surface of said second transparent disc substrate or said reinforcement disc substrate at a boundary portion between said cylindrical hub and said respective disc member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
269 words
An optical recording disc comprising: a cylindrical hub having a center hole for insertion of a spindle of a recording and playback device, a first disc unit comprising a first transparent disc substrate having a center hole in which said cylindrical hub is inserted and bonded, a resin layer formed on an inner surface of said transparent disc substrate and a recording layer formed on said resin layer, and a disc member being one of a second disc unit comprising a second transparent disc substrate having a center hole in which said cylindrical hub is inserted and bonded, a resin layer formed on an inner surface of said second transparent disc substrate and a recording layer formed on said resin layer or a reinforcement disc comprising a reinforcement disc substrate bonded to said cylindrical hub, said first transparent disc substrate including a first chamfer portion for receiving a bonding material for bonding said cylindrical hub and said first transparent disc substrate, said first chamfer portion being formed in a rim portion of an outside surface of said first transparent disc substrate at a boundary between said cylindrical hub and said transparent disc substrate, said second transparent disc substrate or reinforcement disc substrate of said disc member including a second chamfer portion for receiving a bonding material to bond said cylindrical hub and said transparent disc substrate or said reinforcement disc substrate, said second chamfer portion being formed in a rim portion of an outside surface of said second transparent disc substrate or said reinforcement disc substrate at a boundary portion between said cylindrical hub and said respective disc member.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The optical recording disc of claim 1, wherein each of said first and second chamfer portions has an inclined surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The optical recording disc of claim 1, wherein each of said first and second chamfer portions has a curved surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
The optical recording disc of claim 1, wherein each of said first and second chamfer portions is a relatively rough surface having a roughness corresponding to a distance between peaks of said rough surface in the range of from 20 μm to 100 μm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
The optical recording disc of claim 1, further comprising: a cylindrical outer spacer mounted between outer rim portions of said first transparent disc substrate and said disc member, a third chamfer portion formed in the entire outer rim portion of the inside surface of said first transparent disc substrate, and a fourth chamfer portion formed in the entire outer rim portion of the inside surface of said disc member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
58 words
The optical recording disc of claim 6 further comprising: further chamfer portions formed in the entire outer rim portion of the outside surface of each of said first transparent disc substrate and said disc member and in the entire inner rim portion of the inside surface of each of said first transparent disc substrate and said disc member.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
60 words
