ABSTRACT:
A storage container, primarily for photographs and their negatives, is formed as a one-piece member of plastic material. A rectangular housing is formed by a base and pairs of parallel spaced sidewalls and end walls. A flat panel is pivotally mounted on the base and swings into the housing to form a first storage compartment with the base for receiving the negatives. The photographs are placed on the panel and are retained in the container by a closure lid which is pivotally mounted on one of the end walls of the housing opposite of the pivotal mounting of the panel. The lid is moved into a spaced parallel juxtaposition with the panel to a closed, latched position forming a second storage compartment between the panel and lid for storing the photographs. Printed indicia is placed on an inclined end wall of the lid to identify the contents of the container. A partition is formed on the panel to enable the second storage compartment to store two stacks of 31/2.times.5 photographs or one stack of 4.times.6 photographs, or the container is molded to store only 31/2.times.5 photographs. A stepped shoulder is formed in the base to form top and bottom shelves. The bottom shelf forms a first storage compartment with a transverse width which is approximately 1/2 the width of the second storage compartment.
