Abstract: An anti-pilferage device for securing an optical disc within an optical disc case. The anti-pilferage device functions as a secondary engagement device to engage an optical disc which has been demounted from the mounting hub of the optical disc case.
Abstract: A disc holder having a rigid central core for projecting through the central aperture of an optical disc in order to hold the optical disc in place. The disc holder includes, in addition to the rigid central core, a base, several support arms that extend radially inwardly from the base to support the central core in spaced relation from the base, and securing means for releasably securing the rigid central core within the central aperture of the optical disc. The securing means includes locking fingers mounted on the central core. The locking fingers are biased outwardly against the edge of the central aperture of the disc when the disc is held by the disc holder. The locking fingers are moveable radially inward to fit within the central aperture of the disc, thereby allowing the disc to move over the locking fingers so that the disc can be put on or taken off the disc holder.

The locking fingers are biased outwardly against the edge of the central aperture of the disc when the disc is held by the disc holder. The force of the locking fingers against the edge of the central aperture are movable radially inward to it with the central aperture of the disc helps to hold the disc in place. The locking fingers of the disc, thereby allowing the disc to move over the locking fingers so that the disc can be put on or taken off the disc holder.
