Abstract
A hub post for mounting an information-bearing disk to a substrate for presentation, storage or transportation of the disk includes a base and a post projecting from the base for engaging a mounting hole in the disk, the base carrying a layer of adhesive for affixing the hub post to the substrate, and the post being constructed of a stiffly resilient synthetic polymeric material having resilient characteristics for retaining the disk on the post against inadvertent release, while enabling ready intentional release, and renitent characteristics sufficient to resist deleterious compression and crushing while retaining the disk upon the post for selective release of the disk from the post. A flange on the hub post provides a greater basal area for affixation of the hub post to the substrate, and spaces a mounted disk from the substrate to avoid damage to an information-bearing surface of the disk.
