ABSTRACT:
A tray-like member extends horizontally outward from a vertically oriented panel and is hingedly attached to the panel to be swung upward to a closed position to form a box-like enclosure having an opening at the top. A lid is also hingedly attached to the panel for closing the top opening. A latch is provided interior of the enclosure for holding the tray member in the closed position until manually swung open and a releasable mechanism is provided on the underside of the lid to prevent the enclosure from being pulled open while the lid is closed. Further, a key-operated plunger lock can be attached to releasably lock the tray member in the closed position while the lid is closed.
