ABSTRACT:
A box for storing thin slightly compressible objects, in particular floppy disks, has an inner part and an outer part. In an open position of the box, the inner part is substantially upright for support of the disks in a position for selection of one of them. The inner part has a foot member beneath the disks and a stem member behind the disks. A movable member is pivoted at pins to the inner part at a position spaced above the foot. This member has a lower portion beneath the pivot pins and an upper portion thereabove. On movement of the upper portion away from the stem member, the lower portion moves crosswise of the foot and compresses the disks locally between itself and the stem which acts as a reaction member. This action causes the disks to fan out above the pivot pins for selection among them. The upper portion of the movable member restrains the disks from falling forwards out of the box.
