ABSTRACT:
A weather resistant, ventilated case for storing and displaying messages, papers, and diverse articles in an exterior location such as a construction site. The case has a base, a cover, a hinge connecting base and cover, and a latch for securing the cover in a closed position. These components are preferably fabricated as a unitary assembly by injection molding of an elastomer. The latch can thereby be formed as resilient components urging the cover into the closed position. The cover has a transparent portion for displaying objects stored within, such as notices posted on an information display such as tack board, peg board, chalk board, marker board, or the like. The interior includes a pocket disposed upon the rear surface of the cover, a pen and pencil holder, and a prismatic recess formed in the base, for storing rolled papers. A tab projecting from the base maintains the rolled papers upright. The cover forms a recess for grasping the cover. A slot located in a protected, downwardly facing surface enables insertion of papers into the case. The rear of the case has notches disposed to cooperate with a mounting post of square cut lumber. The notches are configured to accept the mounting post in either one of two orientations each perpendicular to the other, and to present a flat rear surface for enabling the case to be flush mounted on a flat environmental surface.
