Patent ID: 6863186

Claim:
A holder that can hold a bare CD and other like disk-shaped items and usable to create a continuous loop formed by interlocking adjacent such holders, the holder comprising: a base having a holder engaging mechanism extending therefrom and said holder engaging mechanism adapted to engage an adjacent holder in order to form the continuous loop; a planar surface extending from the base and adapted to receive a bare CD; wherein said planar member includes a hub which is adapted to retain an aperture of a bare CD; and wherein the holder engaging mechanism includes: a first holder-engaging mechanism with a slot located adjacent thereto; a second holder-engaging mechanism having a distal end integrally formed with the base, which distal end is shaped in order to be received in said slot; and wherein said first holder-engaging mechanism on said holder is adapted to interlock with a second holder-engaging mechanism of a second said holder, and said second holder-engaging mechanism on said holder is adapted to interlock with a first holder-engaging mechanism on a third holder to form a continuous loop; and wherein the distal end of the second holder-engaging mechanism of the second said holder can pass through said slot located adjacent to the first holder-engaging mechanism of said holder to which the second holder-engaging mechanism is inserted to allow the second said holder to spread apart from said holder.
