The pr nc ple characteristic of invention emanates from the-quitenewi'ide'a,'.,to
' place one pairof disks to one tipping carrier I by fixingthe two recorddisks to'the two sides I I fia'compactunitJ M 1' I V Theflanges c c are not subject to'any 5 side. quite closely, almost-hermetically and 7 without any loss of space, to the sides of the 36 separating disk, whereas the other side of the record disks remains free on the larger 7 part of surface. Thisarrangement reduces the required lateral, space to the technically possible minimum. When .the carrier 1S tippedthe two record disks clinging vto the sides of the separatingdisk are fully v sible in the. large part of their surface remaln- I ling free, and are. accessible by abroad grip I, of thehand, with thefull palm, in so easy a manner as does not" exist with anyof thej other known devices.

I In spite of the almost incredibly small space of 15 inches forlOO records,;the"appara tus functions withabsolute safety because the single carriers containing two records each must automatically [adjust themselves pre cisely. "f The two re'c'ords clinging to thetwoi sides of the: separating disk act as sta 'biliz'ing elementsfsince they fit flush in 1 their fiill surface leavingnofree space. This precarrier is tippedfdown, and one record is re-' fmoved, the other record disk remains on the other "side ofthe separating disk and keeps it firmlyfand rigidly: in shape. Theftip'peddown carrier "remains in this position while 100 disk' together with the two record, disksforrn i the one record is played, and thus serves as an indicator for the record to be replaced.

the record is under all circumstances entered, orwithdrawn, smoothly and with ease. No damage is'causedto the records because they In their total friction. In the smallerpart covered by the protected, and in the remaining free. partof Q the surface there is normally no touch? between the records becausetheycling snugly" to the separating disks. Due to the exact "grouping of the single carriers, the thin gauge of the holding flange is sufficient to I prevent friction in the upper freepart of the surface. It issafe tosa'y, and a trial proves, that the disks are in my holder less subject to mechanical damage or strain than in other 7 cabinets, pockets, cells or books.
The carrier presents a perfectly'horizon- 'tal bottom"margin, whereby to'have all the carriers perfectly alignedgwhenatrest, in the *jhorizontal line. In advance of the horizontal bearing edge, the lower edge of the cararev open at the top-line the records must be taken'up vertically or in a very steep angle.
This demands greater height inside of the cabinet than is required withmy invention wherethe-re'cord is drawnout horizontally. fOn, the lower part of the front part of the carrier isa key e--" serving to tip the car rier, The keyis parallel tothe horizontal bottom bearingedge of the carrier andeach key,of course, is arranged in the same position on each carrier. This arrangement assures thatthe keys areperfectly in line when the carriers are at rest. This perfect alignment is of importance with regard to the function and also the appearance of the apparatus. In the known containers with a circular bottom line a perfect alignment of the 7 keys is practically impossible; slight devia- Vertically of the, carrier when the latter is in tijons at the point of support, or about the bore 2' ,of the axle, destroyrthe correct alignment.
fInmy invention the bore for the axle may have, instead of the usual round borefan elliptical shape, with its major axis inoperative position,'the jaxle to be placed in the middle of the elliptical slot. The result is that the carrier whenv replaced after'tipping, is forced toadjust itself into line vertically. The horizontal bottom line together with the vertical shape of the axle-bore effeet thus 'alw'aysa perfect alignment of the M c carriers.
When a key is pressed down in order to remove a disk, the carriers come forth about 5 inches beyond the common row. After the withdrawal of the desired record the carrier remains outside weighted and stabilized by the second record remaining on it. The replacing of the record, even in a poorly illuminated place, is easily and safely effected, almostmerely by touch, because the record is brought with a large part of its surface into side-contact with the" far-protruding separating disk, sothat; the record is easily guided into proper position in the carrier.
To avoid unintentional operation of two ,..keys' when desiring to operate one key, the shape of the key is tapered oif upward and forward. asshown in the drawing. Quite obviously, and as is conventional in this class of devices, the keys of the respective carriers may be'individually marked or grouped for identification in order that when particular records are arranged in selected carriers, such record may be readily found by the carrier identification. This carrier identification is conventional and requires neither illus-' tration nor any further detailed description.
