A holder for a rigid information disc comprises a rectangular frame which includes a first disc-supporting section near a first peripheral side of the frame and a second disc-supporting section adjoining a second peripheral side located opposite the first side. The frame carries movable clamping means for clamping the information disc onto the frame. The frame is at least in part resiliently deflectable and is capable of returning from a deflected position to a flat position. The first and the second disc-supporting sections are interconnected by at least one resilient connecting element which permits deflection of the frame into the deflected position in which position the first and the second peripheral sides extend at least substantially parallel to each other. The clamping means can be actuated; the clamping means are situated near the connecting elements and in the deflected position of the frame do not release the information disc until these means have been actuated.
A holder for a rigid information disc, including a rectangular frame which includes a first disc-supporting section situated near a first peripheral side of the frame and a second disc-supporting section adjoining a second peripheral side located opposite the first peripheral side, which frame carries movable clamping means for retaining the information disc on the frame and is at least in part resiliently deflectable and returns from a deflected position to a flat position, characterized in that the first and the second disc-supporting sections are interconnected by at least one deflectable and resilient connecting element which cooperates with the frame in its deflected position, in which position the first and second peripheral sides extend at least substantially parallel to one another, and further characterized in that the clamping means comprise actuating portions and said clamping means are situated near said connecting element, and in the deflected position of the frame said clamping means release the information disc only after said actuating portions have been actuated.
A holder for a rigid information disc comprising a frame having opposite first and second peripheral sides, first and second disc-supporting sections respectively adjacent said sides, and movable clamping means carried by said frame for releasably retaining said disc on said frame, said frame being initially flat and being at least in part resiliently deflectable for returning from a deflected bowed shape to said flat shape, said frame comprising at least one resilient connecting element joining said first and second disc-supporting sections, said frame being deflectable to said bowed shape by deflection of said connecting element wherein said first and second peripheral sides extend at least substantially parallel to each other, and said clamping means are located near said connecting element and comprise an actuating portion which when actuated releases said disc from said frame.
