Abstract: A device for handling a disk having an aperture includes a shaft having a first end and a second end. A contact surface is located on the shaft first end for contacting the first side of the disk. A claw extends away from the contact surface. The claw has a length which is greater than the thickness of the disk and includes a protrusion for contacting a second side of the disk. A foot is movably mounted adjacent the shaft contact surface in a manner spaced from the claw. The foot is used for selectively contacting the second side of the disk at a location spaced from the claw. A mechanism is provided for moving the foot to bring the foot into contact with the second side of the disk. Preferably, a longitudinally extending bore is located in the shaft and a plunger is positioned in the bore. The plunger has a first end cooperating with the foot and a second end which is acted on by an operator mounted on the shaft second end.
