ABSTRACT:
A container that may be used for displaying an article, for example, for sale and thereafter for storage, is disclosed. The container may have a drawer and a tray, both of which can slide in and out of the container housing. As the drawer is pulled out of the housing, the tray is forced to move out of the housing, but only to a limited extent. When the drawer is pushed back into the housing to close it, the drawer pushes the tray back into the housing. The container is particularly useful for displaying and storing articles such as compact discs on the drawer and the booklet that typically accompanies the compact disc on the tray. Because the tray is only partially moved out of the housing even at the tray's maximum outward extent of travel, the booklet can be easily removed without hindering removal of the compact disc. Whether or not the container has a tray, the drawer may be locked in an open position for display and sale.
