ABSTRACT:
A compartmented storage container is disclosed comprising a container (2) having a bottom, parallel and spaced-apart endwalls (8) and sidewalls (6) extending from the bottom to an upper downturned rim flange (16). A chamber (12) is thereby defined. Opposing cutout recesses (18) are formed within opposite sidewalls (6) and a bar flange (24) extends upwardly from a bottom surface (22) of each recess (18). A tray is further provided having a downturned rim flange (44) along the top edge of endwalls, adapted to enter a container recess (18) and overlap the bar flange (24) therein. The tray, so positioned spans the sidewalls of the container and is suspended above the floor of the container chamber. The rim flange of the tray is dimensioned to be coplanar with corresponding surfaces of the container rim flange so as not to interfere with the application of a lid member (52) to the container. The sidewalls (32) of the tray (4) are further provided with cutout recesses (50) along an upper rim which accommodate the intermediate portion of the lid (53), used in the stacking of one such container on another.
