Abstract
Abstract A phonograph record holding apparatus comprising a multiplicity of pivotal record holding members with said members having interactuating portions comprising a rearward projecting pair of hooks of one of said holding members egaging a pair of forwardly projected pins of the adjacent holding member rearwardly thereof, said holding members being pivotally balanced whereby the forward tilt of the first of said holding members beyond its dead center point will cause the automatic forward successive tilting of the remainder of said holding members.

A record holding device having inter-actuating record holding members, having in combination a pair of spaced elongated supporting members, said supporting members having transversely aligned pairs of apertures spaced longitudinally thereof, a plurality of record holding members each pivotally disposed in a successive pair of said aligned pairs of apertures, each of said holding members comprising a body portion having a substantially rectangular bottom wall, an upstanding rear wall at one edge of said bottom wall and an upstanding front wall at the other edge of said bottom wall, said front wall having a cut-out portion oppositely aligned with and being larger in extent than said rear wall, a leg portion depending from each end of said bottom wall, a pair of shafts extending outwardly of the outer sides of said leg portions oppositely of one another in axial alignment, a hook member extending rearwardly and downwardly from each of said leg portions, each of said leg portions having a forwardly extended portion with each of said extended portions having a stub shaft extending oppositely one another from the outer sides of said extended portions and in axial alignment with one another, each pair of said hook members extending over a pair of said last mentioned stub shafts carried by the adjacent holding member therebehind, said holding members being disposed in spaced relation such that when one holding member is tilted forwardly, its hook members will engage said last mentioned shafts of the adjacent holding member therebehind when said tilted holding member moves just beyond its dead center position to engage and move said holding member therebehind into a forward tilting position to a point just beyond its dead center position, and said front wall of each of said holding members having its cut out portion extending through its bottom wall to receive nested therein the rear wall of the holding member forwardly thereof with said holding members being in forwardly tilted position.
