Abstract
Abstract A disk label positioning structure includes a base and an elastic element. The base has a receiving space adapted for supporting a disk. The receiving space is centrally provided with a post adapted for positioning a through hole of the disk. The elastic element is provided in the receiving space in a position located at an outer edge of the post and having a size adapted to position a through hole of a label and a height smaller than that of the post. The through hole of the label may be fitted over and positioned at an outer periphery of the elastic element. The label is disposed in the receiving space with an adhering face thereof facing up. The disk is fitted over and positioned at the outer edge of the post with a face to be adhered to the label facing down. The disk is pushed downwardly by a uniform application of force to force the elastic element to displace downwardly to allow the face of the disk to be precisely adhered to the adhering face of the label.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
208 words
A disk label positioning structure comprising: a base having a completely flat receiving space adapted to receive a disk, said receiving space centrally provided with a post adapted for positioning a through hole of said disk; an elastic element including an opening, the elastic element provided in said receiving space with the opening of the elastic element positioned through said post; the elastic element sized to receive a through hole of a label, the label positioned on the receiving space of the base, the elastic element having a height smaller than that of said post; and said label having a throughole fitted through and positioned at an outer periphery of said elastic element, said label including an adhering face and being disposed in said receiving space with the adhering face facing upwards away from the elastic material, said disk being fitted through and positioned at said outer edge of said post above said elastic element, with a face facing downwards opposite the adhering face of said label, said disk being pushed downwards by a uniform application of force to displace said elastic element downwards to force the face of said disk to precisely contact the adhering face of said label so that said label adheres to the disk.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
208 words
A disk label positioning structure comprising: a base having a completely flat receiving space adapted to receive a disk, said receiving space centrally provided with a post adapted for positioning a through hole of said disk; an elastic element including an opening, the elastic element provided in said receiving space with the opening of the elastic element positioned through said post; the elastic element sized to receive a through hole of a label, the label positioned on the receiving space of the base, the elastic element having a height smaller than that of said post; and said label having a throughole fitted through and positioned at an outer periphery of said elastic element, said label including an adhering face and being disposed in said receiving space with the adhering face facing upwards away from the elastic material, said disk being fitted through and positioned at said outer edge of said post above said elastic element, with a face facing downwards opposite the adhering face of said label, said disk being pushed downwards by a uniform application of force to displace said elastic element downwards to force the face of said disk to precisely contact the adhering face of said label so that said label adheres to the disk.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
90 words
The disk label positioning structure as defined in claim 1 , further comprising an elastic material disposed in said receiving space at said outer periphery of said elastic element, said elastic material having a height smaller than that of said elastic element such that upon a uniform application of downward force on said disk, said elastic element displaces downwardly towards the base, and said elastic material rebounds when the downward force is released to cause the face of said disk to adhere firmly to the adhering face of said label.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The disk label positioning structure as defined in claim 1 , wherein said base further comprises a cover disposed on one side thereof, said cover being adapted to close said disk in said receiving space.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
84 words
The disk label positioning structure as defined in claim 1 , wherein said post further comprises an elastic portion positioned over the post to increase the height of the post so that said disk is easily positioned over the post to increase the height of the post so that said disk is easily positioned through said post opposite said elastic material, whereby when a cover provided on one side of said base is closed toward the base, said cover will compress said elastic element.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
79 words
The disk label positioning structure as defined in claim 1 , wherein said post comprises two inter-engaged hollow post elements of different diameters, said two hollow post elements accommodating therein a spring, said two hollow post elements being adapted to enable said disk to be fitted through said post and be flatly disposed on said elastic element, whereby when a cover provided on one side of said base closes the base, said cover will compress against said elastic element.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
The disk label positioning structure as defined in claims 1 , 2 or 3 , wherein said elastic element comprises a foamed material.
