An apparatus for holding a compact disk has a base portion and resilient inwardly extending radial arms, cantilevered from the base portion; the inner ends of the arms form a button-like member receivable in the central hole of the disk so that pressure applied to any one or more of the inner ends of the arms flexes each of the arms toward the base portion to move the inner ends of the arms toward each other sufficiently to release the button-like member from the disk. Lips on the button-like member retain the disk by engaging on the outer surface of the disk. Resilient ejection means may be provided to urge the compact disk out of engagement with the button-like member, and disk support means may be on the base portion to support the disk at positions away from the central hole of the disk. The apparatus may be formed as a one-piece plastics molding as a tray for insertion in a box or as part of a wall of a video style library box.

[ We claim:] [1.] An apparatus for holding a compact disk having a central hole, the apparatus comprising:a base portion;at least two inwardly extending radial arms each resiliently cantilevered from the base portion;a disk-engaging member formed by the inner ends of the arms and receivable in the central hole of the disk; andmeans for depressing at least the centre of a compact disk when pressure is applied to the disk-engaging member, comprising lips arranged to retain the disk by engaging on the outwardly facing surface of the disk, whereby when a disk is engaged on the disk-engaging member and pressure is applied to the disk-engaging member to depress the arms, at least the centre of the disk is depressed by at least one of the lips, and the inner ends of the arms move toward each other to release the lips from the outwardly facing surface of the disk. [23.] An apparatus for holding a compact disk having a central hole, the apparatus comprising:a base portion;disk-engaging means extending from the base portion for releasably engaging the central hole of the disk and supporting the centre of the disk away from the base portion;disk support means on the base portion for supporting the disk at positions away from the central hole; andmeans for flexing a compact disk comprising said disk support means positioned such that when the disk engages the disk support means, the centre of the disk may be flexed toward the base portion until release of the disk-engaging means from the central hole, the resilience of the disk itself lifting the disk out of engagement with the disk-engaging means.
