BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a disc box structure, and especially to a disc box structure with an auxiliary support. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] A conventional disc box, a container for receiving a disc, is disclosed in FIGS. 1 to 2A. The conventional disc box includes a shell 10a, a base 11a arranged on the shell 10a, a stand 12a disposed at a central portion of the base 11a, and a clamping structure 20a connected to the base 11a. The stand 12a includes a resilient member 12a. The clamping structure 20a has a pressing portion 21a connected to the base 11a. When the disc is replaced on the conventional disc box, a peripheral portion adjacent to a center through hole of the disc contacts a protruding portion 122a (in FIG. 2A) of the resilient member 121a and the pressing portion 21a of the clamping structure. Thus, the resilient member 121a and the pressing portion 21a will deform to generate a squeezing force against the peripheral portion adjacent to the center through hole of the disc. When the disc is removed the conventional disc box, the pressing portion 21a should be pressed down to balance the squeezing force for releasing the disc. [0005] However, the clamping portion 211a of the pressing portion 21a often interferes with the peripheral portion of the disc when the pressing portion is pressed down, so that the disc is difficult to take out. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] A disc box structure is provided with an auxiliary support, which includes a pressing portion for releasing and then lifting a disc. Therefore, the disc is easily removed without interference via a peripheral of a through hole. [0007] A disc box structure according to the present invention includes a shell and an auxiliary support. The shell has a base, and a stand protruding upwardly from the base for accommodating a disc. The auxiliary support includes a pivot connected to the base, a lateral arm arranged to a side of the pivot, a pressing portion disposed over the lateral arm, and a stand connected to an opposite side of the pivot. [0008] It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary, and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed. Other advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description, drawings and claims. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0009] The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawings, in which: [0010] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional disc box; [0011] FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a clamping portion of the conventional disc box; [0012] FIG. 2A is a cross-sectional profile of the clamping portion of the conventional disc box; [0013] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a disc box structure according to the present invention; [0014] FIG. 3A is an enlarged view of an auxiliary support of the disc box structure according to the present invention; [0015] FIG. 4 is a top view of the auxiliary support of the disc box structure according to the present invention; and [0016] FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional profile of the auxiliary support of the disc box structure according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0017] With respect to FIGS. 3 to 4A, a disc box structure according to the present invention includes a shell 10 and an auxiliary support 20. The shell 10 is made of plastic material, and has a base 11, and a stand 12 protruding upwardly from the base 11 for accommodating a disc. The stand 12 protrudes out of an inner surface of the base 11. [0018] The shell 10 has a thickness of 6.0 to 8.0 mm, so that the total size thereof shrinks and occupies less space. [0019] The stand 12 and the base 11 are made integrally in one piece for accommodating the disc, so that the disc can be prevented from scraping and damaging a disc. The stand 12 has a pair of resilient members 121, which are arched and surround two lateral sides of the auxiliary support 20 respectively. Each of the resilient members 121 has a projecting portion 122 arranged at an exterior part of a top thereof for further securing the disc. [0020] The auxiliary support 20 includes a pivot 21 connected to the base 11, a lateral arm 22 arranged to a side of the pivot 11, a pressing portion 23 disposed over the lateral arm 22, and a raising portion 24 connected to an opposite side of the pivot 11. The lateral arm 22 has an upper portion connected to the pressing portion 23. The raising portion 24 is a sheet tilting upwardly. The base 11 has a cutout 111 corresponding to the raising portion 24. The pressing portion 23 has a clamping portion 231 that is adjacent to one end of the raising portion 24, and an included angle .alpha. between each respective one of two lateral sides of the clamping portion 231 and a central line of the pressing portion 23. The included angle ranges between 20.+-.10 degrees. Continue reading about Disc box structure...
