Abstract: Disclosed is a free and separate carrier accessory adapted to underlie, carry and drop with a phonograph record through the changing and playing operation on the spindle of a record changer, the accessory including a generally disc-like metallic supporting body having a diameter equal to the record and having top and bottom shells connected together to form an elevated hollow central hub, an elevated hollow outer rim, and a flat annular flange joining the rim with the hub. The hub includes a free cap having a spindle hole therein, the cap being captured in a central opening of the hub and adapted for support in juxtaposition to an overlying record. Layers of flexible cushioning material in the form of annuli of precision cut upright pile fabric are attached respectively on opposite sides of the flange for engaging the recording area of overlying and underlying records.
