ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for latching a disc holder to a frame while unlatching the holder from its carrier. A pair of pivotally mounted pry bars are extendable between the opposite edges of a video disc holder and its caddy to unlatch the holder from the caddy. A pair of pivotally mounted wedges are projectible into recesses provided on the disc holder to hookingly engage the holder while the caddy is removed therefrom. A pair of springs urge the wedges into the holder whereas a second pair of springs urge the pry bars relative to the wedges to allow the pry bars to be pivoted away from the holder. Reinsertion of the caddy to recapture the holder results in the pry bars being forced against the wedges thereby unlatching the holder from the wedges and allowing the holder to relatch to the caddy.
