Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
In a holder for a disc-like object of the type having a diameter which can vary within a predetermined range and having generally planar first and second spaced parallel surfaces and a circular edge extending at right angles to said first and second planar surfaces of said object, a solid single unitary sheet-like member having substantially planar first and second spaced parallel surfaces, said member having a generally circular hole therein extending through both of said surfaces for receiving the object, the portions of said first and second surfaces surrounding said circular hole being continuous, said member being formed with at least three object-retaining portions integral with said member extending into said hole and being of substantially the same vertical extent as said hole, said member being adapted to be engaged by the edge of one of said objects disposed in said hole to retain said object in said hole, said member being formed of a material whereby said portions can be deformed permanently by said object as it is inserted to accommodate the object while retaining the object within the hole in the member, said object retaining portions being formed with inclined chamfered surfaces on one side of the same to facilitate insertion of the object into the hole.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
210 words
In a holder for a disc-like object of the type having a diameter which can vary within a predetermined range and having generally planar first and second spaced parallel surfaces and a circular edge extending at right angles to said first and second planar surfaces of said object, a solid single unitary sheet-like member having substantially planar first and second spaced parallel surfaces, said member having a generally circular hole therein extending through both of said surfaces for receiving the object, the portions of said first and second surfaces surrounding said circular hole being continuous, said member being formed with at least three object-retaining portions integral with said member extending into said hole and being of substantially the same vertical extent as said hole, said member being adapted to be engaged by the edge of one of said objects disposed in said hole to retain said object in said hole, said member being formed of a material whereby said portions can be deformed permanently by said object as it is inserted to accommodate the object while retaining the object within the hole in the member, said object retaining portions being formed with inclined chamfered surfaces on one side of the same to facilitate insertion of the object into the hole.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A holder as in claim 1 wherein said member is formed of plastic ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 psi in tensile strength.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A holder as in claim 1 wherein each of said portions is provided with inclined side walls which adjoin the wall defining the hole in said member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A holder as in claim 1 wherein at least five of said portions are provided.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
A holder as in claim 4 wherein said portions are spaced approximately 72* apart.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
A holder as in claim 1 together with first and second parts bonded together to enclose said Member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A holder as in claim 1 wherein said first and second walls of said member are spaced apart a greater distance than the spacing between the first and second surfaces of said object.
