Claim:
An apparatus for holding a disc that includes a lower surface and an upper surface with a central opening extending between the upper and lower surfaces; the apparatus comprising: a base; and a hub connected to the base and extending upwardly from the base; the hub including a central portion and outer portions that are diametrically opposed in relation to a center of the hub and separated from the central portion by respective slots; the central portion being connected at diametrically opposed ends to the base and having resilient portions allowing the central portion to be pushed from a resting position to a depressed position; the central portion including a pair of disc-engaging members for retaining a disc on the hub when the central portion is in its resting position and being movable towards one another when the central portion is moved from its resting position to its depressed position, thereby releasing the disc; and the diametrically opposed outer portions being non-movable with respect to the base for blocking movement of the disc toward the base when the central portion is moved from its resting position to its depressed position.
