STACKED FLEXIBLE DISK STRUCTURES Abstract Semi-rigid washers are coaxially disposed to form an air-permeable spindle for coaxially supporting flexible record disks. A plurality of such washers and disks is coaxially stacked to construct a flexible disk file. Washers preferably have an annular shoulder with a depth slightly different than the thickness of the record disks for firmly supporting and aligning same in the coaxial stack. Alternatively, disks may be adhesively secured to a radial outward portion of each washer. Additionally, each washer has a plurality of radially extending air passageways for facilitating radial air movement which controls the stack of flexible record disks. A radial inward portion of each washer abuts each adjacent washer for forming a firm axial stack of disks. A rigid stabilizing plate at each axial end completes the assembly. The present invention is an improvement over that shown by Penfold et al in commonly assigned, copending Canadian application Serial Number 211,526 filed October 16, 1974, and entitled "Multiple Flexible Disk File".
