ABSTRACT:
A holder for a disk having a central opening and front and back surfaces includes a base having a planar panel and formed with a segmented generally conical projection; and a pedestal projecting forwardly from the base on a pedestal axis. The pedestal includes a central button having radially outwardly projecting retainers, and axially extending stems that are integrally formed as button segments with corresponding ones of the retainers. A laterally spaced pair the arms connected to each of the stems support the button portion in cantilevered relation to the base, the arms sloping radially inwardly and axially forwardly from the panel of the base, the arms collectively having an extended position for retaining the disk by engagement of the front surface by the retainers proximate a central opening. Each pair of arms straddles a respective finger of the pedestal for biasingly contacting the rear face surface of the disk proximate the central opening for displacing the disk axially forwardly relative to the retainers when the arms are in a depressed position, the fingers being deflectable into proximate coplanar relation with the arms, the conical projection of the base extending from the panel toward the button and including main portions of the arms and fingers, the conical projection further including a plurality of skirts extending between adjacent pairs of the arms and being closely spaced therefrom for shielding the arms.
