  • Patent number: 4653038
    Abstract: A support apparatus which allows a user to hold a phonograph record in one hand without contacting any playing surface thereof. The apparatus has an elongated body wih a spindle extending normally from one end thereof and a substantially curvilinear hook extending from an opposite end in a plane substantially perpendicular to a central axis of the spindle. The spindle defines a notch therein facing the hook. Extending from the body at an intermediate portion between the spindle and hook is a record support pedestal having an upper surface of contact. When in operation, the spindle is inserted into the central opening of a phonograph record and the user engages a thumb in the hook and the remaining fingers of the same hand are engaged with the outer edge of the record. By squeezing the thumb and fingers together, the inner edge of the record engages the notch in the spindle, and a side of the record rests on the upper surface of the pedestal.
