ABSTRACT:
A record caddy, suitable for use with a video disc player, includes a sleeve and a record retaining spine removably located therein. Disposed on the spine are latch members for releasably locking the spine to the sleeve. Latch defeat fingers, disposed in the player, are wedged between the respective spine latch fingers and interior portions of the sleeve during an occupied caddy arrival at a fully inserted position in the player, so that the spine latch fingers are deflected in a manner freeing the spine from the sleeve. The player is further equipped with spine gripper members for locking the spine to the player during such caddy arrival, whereby subsequent sleeve withdrawal removes the spine and the accompanying record from the sleeve for retention in player. To retrieve the retained record, an empty sleeve is inserted into the player. Insertion of the sleeve into the player for record retrieval causes deflection of the latch defeat fingers, which deflection, in turn, results in displacement of the spine gripper members in a manner disengaging the spine from the player, whereby the spine and the associated record are removed from the player during subsequent caddy withdrawal.
