Definitions

• Field of the invention is that of the distribution of computer data, and more particularly that of the rental of this data.
• optical discs whose material undergoes a change in color under the influence of oxygen and / or light, making them unfit for reading after a certain time, and / or after a number of readings (apart from accidental exposure to light).
• optical discs are designed for rental.
• the invention aims to promote the rental of these optical discs by eliminating the cost due to the stock of written discs of the prior art. Summary of the invention
• An autonomous automatic data distributor comprises at least: a mass memory means, a means for reading this mass memory, a means for choosing the data from this mass memory, a means for writing to media independent of the data. chosen, a means of payment for the independent medium and selected data, a reserve of independent media, a means of providing the independent medium containing the chosen data, an independent data medium being a portable autonomous means having at least one means of storage of information, and which can be linked to the means of writing the chosen data, for example an optical disc,

• Airlock means 2 allowing the opening of the lid 4c of the containers 4b 1 5 - Security device of the airlock 2
• a sealed enclosure 1 free of oxygen has at least: an entry airlock 2, having an exterior door 2a and an interior door 2b, through which it is possible to introduce blank discs 3 in their sealed packaging 4, individual or collective, free of oxygen, an exit airlock 5, having an external door 5a and an internal door 5b, through which the written discs 3a will exit, in their individual waterproof packaging 4a free of oxygen, a writing means 6 on the blank discs 3 of the selected data, a means of extracting 7 the blank discs 3 from their sealed packaging 4, collective or individual, for example waterproof gloves 7a accessible from outside enclosure 1 and making it possible to handle simple tools 8 located in the enclosure, for example a cutter, a means of storage 9 of the blank discs 3 taken out of their packaging 4, a means of handling 1 0, for example a ch ariot fitted with gripping devices and able to move from the entry airlock 2 to the exit airlock 5, to introduce the blank discs 3 extracted from their packaging into the writing means 6, and to take out the written discs 3a, a means
• the entry airlock 2 has a shape and dimensions such that the sealed package 4 can be contained therein exactly
• the sealed package 4 consists of a rigid or semi-rigid container 4b having a cover 4c the residual air between this airlock 2 and the container 4b is expelled by a neutral gas circulation, possibly associated with an extraction of the air by the means 1 2
• a means 14 of the airlock 2 opens and closes the cover 4c to allow the handling means 10 to dispose of the blank disks 3.
• the shape and dimensions of the entry airlock 2 are such that the cover part of the container 4b adapts very exactly and sealingly to the frame of the interior door 2b of this entry airlock 2, the air contained between the cover 4c of the container 4b and the interior door 2b of the airlock 2 is expelled by a neutral gas circulation, possibly associated with an extraction of air by the means 1 2, the connection between the airlock 2 and the container 4b is provided by a device 1 5 prohibiting the removal of the container if the inner door 2b and the lid 4c of the container are not closed, the means 14 of the airlock 2 opens and closes the lid 4c of the container 4b to allow the handling means 1 0 to have blank discs, the device 1 5 prohibits the opening of the interior door 2b of the airlock 2 if the neutral gas sweep has not been carried out.
• FIG. 2 This embodiment differs from the previous embodiments in that: the shape and dimensions of the entry airlock 2 are such that the cover part of the container 4b adapts very exactly and tightly to the framing of the outer door 2a of this airlock 2, the air contained in the airlock 2, between the cover 4c of the container 4b and the internal door 2b of the airlock 2 is expelled by a neutral gas circulation, possibly associated with an air extraction by means 1 2, the connection between the airlock 2 and the container 4b is ensured by a device 1 5 prohibiting the removal of the container 4b if the interior door 2b of the airlock 2 and the cover 4c of the container 4 are not closed, the means 14 of the airlock 2 opens and closes the cover 4c of the container 4b.
• Figure 1 Sixth preferred embodiment ( Figure 1) - This embodiment differs from the previous embodiments in that: the writing means 6 on the blank blank supports 3 is located in an airlock 6a allowing its extraction without introduction of air into the sealed enclosure 1 .
• Seventh preferred embodiment - differs from the preceding embodiments in that: when the blank discs 3 are in individual packages 4 which are sealed and free of oxygen, these packages are opened and reused as packaging for the written discs 3a, for example, the packages 4 of the discs 3 have a diameter much greater than that of the discs 3 contained and their sealing is ensured near their periphery; under these conditions the means 7 for extracting the discs 3 from their packaging eliminates the periphery ensuring the seal, leaving around the disc 3 sufficient space to ensure a new seal; the remaining elements of the packaging 4 are transferred to the means 1 1 for packaging the written discs 3a which places a written disc between the said remaining elements and seals the new packaging by welding these elements to their periphery.
