ABSTRACT:
A storage container for storing an article comprising a first wall having opposed front and back edges, opposed side edges, and a first inner surface, a second wall having opposed front and back edges, opposed side edges, and a second inner surface, a side wall extending inwardly from the second inner surface proximate the opposed side edges and the front edge, the side wall including a ramp which terminates in a notch, a back wall including hinges connected to the respective back edges such that the first inner surface is capable of being moved into a facing relationship relative to the second inner surface, the hinges being formed of a resilient material and serving to normally bias the first and second walls apart, the first, second, back and side walls serving to form an enclosure for storing an article when the front edges are aligned, a rigid rib having a ramp-engaging surface, the rib being connected to the first inner surface in alignment with the notch when the walls are formed into the enclosure, whereby when the inner surfaces are moved into a facing relationship the ramp-engaging surface engages the ramp, and whereby continued movement forces the ramp-engaging surface to slide relative to the ramp and into engagement with the notch such that the respective front edges are aligned, and a latch for securing the first, second, back and side walls into the enclosure when the front edges are aligned. In an alternative embodiment the rib is connected to the side wall and the ramp and notch are formed in a member extending from the first inner surface.
