Laser disk holder with one touch disk demounting

摘要

A novel laser disk holder is described which permits the demounting of a laser disk that is mounted thereupon through the application of a simple one touch action. Demounting of the laser disk is achieved through the application of downward pushing force onto a center release button which has the effect of nullifying the interference fit which exists between the center opening of the laser disk and the center element onto which it is mounted upon. Resilient lifting arms then act to urge the demounted laser disk upwards and away from the top surface of the laser disk holder, thus making the laser disk available to be grasped by an individual.
