Abstract

A hub assembly for releasably securing an apertured record disc upon a base member includes a hollow elastic sleeve deformable from an upright quiescent position for receiving a disc to a compressed operative position. An actuator, engageable with the sleeve and displaceable from quiescent to operative positions, compresses the sleeve to secure the disc upon the base member. A latch, engageable with the actuator, retains the actuator in its operative position but is releasable by a spring to permit the compressed sleeve and actuator to their quiescent position and thus free the disc.
