ABSTRACT:
A container of molded plastic material for storing, shipping or displaying precious gems, coins or other small valuable articles which require special handling. The container is comprised of three separate components,--a base providing a seat or storage receptacle for one or more of the articles, a rockable cover therefor, and a latch for locking the cover in its closed position. The cover may be fused to the base in the latter position if an additional factor of safety is desired to prevent tampering with the articles in the course of transit. A portion of the base may be used for bearing indicia and advertising matter relevant to the articles. The completely detachable rockable cover for the articles may function additionally as an inclined support for the container in display position, and the latch may assume the form of a completely detachable slide cooperating with a finger tab on the cover on the end of the container opposite the rocking axis of the cover, to conceal the tab and thereby to prevent the opening movement of the cover. Cooperating projections and depressions on the top and bottom of the container, respectively, permit convenient and reliable stacking and maintenance of the containers in proper alignment in a shipping or portable sample case.
