| Claim: | 1. A disc tray for a printing device comprising: a mover driving means comprising a first guiding portion; a main body comprising a disc receiver having a holding portion and a sloping portion connected with each other, a second guiding portion engaged with the first guiding portion, and a third guiding portion, wherein the mover driving means drives the main body by way of the first guiding portion and the second guiding portion to move the main body; and a supporter comprising a fourth guiding portion moveably engaged with the third guiding portion with the fourth guiding portion moving along the third guiding portion, wherein the supporter and the holding portion are used to support a printed disc; when the disc receiver receives the printed disc, the supporter is moved to be veiled under the main body for dropping the printed disc from the sloping portion of the disc receiver. |
| Claim: | 2. The disc tray as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a base corresponding to the main body, wherein when the main body is moved forward to send an unprinted disc received on the disc receiver to the printing device, the base is fixed not to move. |
| Claim: | 3. The disc tray as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the base comprises a fifth guiding portion fixed thereon for guiding the supporter. |
| Claim: | 4. A disc tray for a printing device comprising: a mover driving means comprising a first guiding portion; a main body comprising a disc receiver having a holding portion and a sloping portion connected with each other, a second guiding portion engaged with the first guiding portion, and a third guiding portion, wherein the mover driving means drives the main body by way of the first guiding portion and the second guiding portion to move the main body; a supporter comprising a fourth guiding portion engaged with the third guiding portion to allow the fourth guiding portion to move along the third guiding portion, wherein the supporter and the holding portion are used to support a printed disc fixed on the main body; and a fifth guiding portion shaped corresponding to the supporter to guide the supporter moving under the main body when the main body is moved backward to a dropping disc position. |
| Claim: | 5. The disc tray as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the supporter comprises an elastic spring connected thereon to provide elastic power for moving in a different direction. |
| Claim: | 6. The disc tray as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the supporter comprises a fix portion to be connected with the main body to allow the supporter to be rotated around the fix portion. |
| Claim: | 7. The disc tray as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first guiding portion is substantially a cam. |
| Claim: | 8. The disc tray as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second guiding portion comprises a plurality of positioning holes for at least a part of the cam to engage with for moving the main body. |
| Claim: | 9. The disc tray as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third guiding portion extends along an edge of the disc receiver. |
| Claim: | 10. The disc tray as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the fourth guiding is substantially a bulge engaged with the third guiding portion for allowing the supporter to be moved along the third guiding portion. |
| Claim: | 11. The disc tray as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third guiding portion is a slot near the disc receiver. |
| Claim: | 12. The disc tray as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the fourth guiding is substantially a bulge engaged with the slot for allowing the supporter to be moved along the slot. |
| Claim: | 13. The disc tray as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the sloping portion comprises an axle to allow the sloping portion to be moved up and down. |
| Claim: | 14. The disc tray as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a control box for controlling a sensor of the printing device to allow the processed disc to be printed automatically by the printing device, wherein the control box comprises: a printer driving means; a hollowed shaft with an indentation; a movable portion comprising a main portion and a protrusion extending from the main portion, with the protrusion received inside the indentation, wherein the main portion comprises a hole; and an eccentric cam driven by the printer driving means, wherein the hole of the main portion is used for receiving the eccentric cam; wherein the printer driving means drives the eccentric cam for swaying the main portion and the protrusion to unveil the protrusion from the hollowed shaft. |
| Claim: | 15. A control box adapted to a disc tray for controlling a sensor of a printing device, with the disc tray used for the printing device, with the control box comprising: a printer driving means; a hollowed shaft with an indentation; a movable portion comprising a main portion and a protrusion extending from the main portion, with the protrusion received inside the indentation, wherein the main portion comprises a hole; and an eccentric cam driven by the printer driving means, wherein the hole of the main portion is used for receiving the eccentric cam; wherein the printer driving means drives the eccentric cam for swaying the main portion and the protrusion to unveil the protrusion from the hollowed shaft for controlling the sensor of the printing device. |
