ABSTRACT:
A printer thimble element storage case is disclosed having a front cover hingeably connected through a spine to a back cover. The inside of the back cover has attached thereto an element tray including a top surface spaced away from the inner surface of the cover and having a plurality of wells formed therein matable about the printer thimble elements. A spindle concentrically mounted in the bottom surface of each well securely retains the thimble elements. A top surface of the element tray is of generally rectangular configuration and slopes away from the edge thereof downwardly and toward the inner surface of the back cover, terminating in a mating surface and a stop ledge. The front cover includes, on an inner surface thereof a tray cover including a wall having an engagement edge formed thereon for receipt of the element tray. The engagement edge is adapted to mate against the sloping guide surface of the element tray on closure of the front cover adjacent to the back cover and automatically positions the tray cover to a position adjacent to the mating surface and against the stop ledge or closure. Frictional engagement between the tray cover and the mating surface keeps the book cover closed.
