Abstract:
An apparatus for affixing a label to a compact disc in a substantially concentric manner, the label having a non-adhesive side and a central opening of a first diameter, the compact disc having a labeling side with a non-labeling area and a central opening of a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, the apparatus comprises:a cover member having a central hole and a label support surface adapted to support the non-adhesive side of the label; a support structure; a movable assembly having a first member, a second member and means for retaining the movable assembly in the support structure; and a resilient member, wherein the second member is connected to the first member to form a support shoulder adapted to support at least a portion of the non-labeling area of the compact disk, wherein the movable assembly is adapted to move with respect to the label support surface, at least partially within the support structure, between a first position having the support shoulder above the label support surface and a second position having the support shoulder proximate to the label support surface, and wherein the resilient member is adapted to cooperate with the movable assembly to move the movable assembly between the first position and the second position.
