Record Protection System
US Patent:
4030138, Jun 14, 1977
Filed:
Jul 18, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/597371
Inventors:

Assignee:

International Classification:
G11B 1704
US Classification:

Abstract:
To protect a record, such as a video disc, from damage due to finger contact with the recorded area, a pair of finger holes are provided adjacent the centering aperture of the record. The record player and the package used for shipping or storing the record are each provided with a well for receiving the record. The spacing between a wall portion defining the edge of the well and the outer periphery of the record is such that the outer periphery of the record is not directly accessible, thereby constraining a user to handling the record by the finger holes. The player and the package are each provided with a finger cavity located underneath the finger holes regardless of the rotational orientation of the record when the record is in the well, in order to permit a sufficient penetration of the fingers so that the record may be firmly grasped for removal from the well.
