Planar holder for multiple components and method

摘要

A planar holder supports multiple components such as computer diskettes, ZIP drive disks, compact disks and the like for convenient storage and filing in a conventional three-ring binder, hanging file or other suitable filing product. The planar holder includes a plastic molded frame having a front side and a rear side and a holding mechanism formed integral with the frame. The holding mechanism respectively supports the plurality of components on the front side and the rear side of the frame. In one arrangement, a plurality of flexible catches and fixed catches are formed integral with the frame and are configured to support computer diskettes and/or ZIP drive disks and the like. In another arrangement, the catches are disposed in a substantially circular orientation for engagement with a circular central aperture in a compact disk. The holder is manufactured by injection molding in a single process step.
