citizen of United States, residing at Niles, in

the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented new and 'useful Im-' provements in Talkin Machine-Disk' Protectors, of which the lowing is a specification. I

My invention relates to a protective device for talking machine disks.

The records of tal ing and like machines uantity by ling of these disks often mutilates them to .the extent of sometimes ruining them altogether; and in any event they are soon renered unsatisfactor by such bruises.
