Abstract

The invention relates to a device for placing a label of any external profile with a first central opening onto a compact disc with a second central opening, and a method for the use of the device as well as a method for manufacturing of the device. The device has a positioning member 5, having at least one centering member 7. The outer dimension of the centering member 7 corresponds to the first central opening of the label. Moreover, the positioning member has a centering part 8 in its center, the outer diameter of which is adapted to the second central opening of the compact disc. The centering part 8 projects beyond the centering member 7. The base member has an outer ring supporting a disc-shaped top surface onto which the label can be arranged. The top surface, in turn, has a central opening within which the positioning member is provided movably perpendicular to the top surface, and, in an inoperative position, projects beyond the top surface, and, in a labeling position, is lowered into the central opening. For restoring into the inoperative position, the outer ring 10 has at least one flexible tongue 15 or 16 in a first fitted groove of the outer ring. The tongue roots 19 of the flexible tongue are fixed at the base section 20 of the outer ring, while the tongue tip 21 supports a flexible supporting beam 22 or 23. The supporting beam extends radially inwards from the tongue tips 21 to a second fitted groove 24 or 25 of the top surface up to the positioning member 5. The base member 9 has at least one mounting position 41, 42, 43 for a profile part at its top surface 11, which is fitted to the outer profile of the label and/or the compact disc, and has at least one fitted part, which is insertable into the mounting position.
