ABSTRACT:
A storage box which can be easily modified to store flat, rectangular objects with a plurality of different widths and thicknesses is disclosed. The storage box consists of a rectangular housing member which has a plurality of straight tracks mounted on the inside surfaces of the housing ends. Two rack members may be slid into the housing along the tracks and are held in position by hooks molded into the back of the housing. Each rack member has a planar central portion with a set of ribs mounted on each side of the central portion. Within each set, the ribs are equally spaced ribs, but the spacing between the ribs differs between sets. The rack members are arranged so that when both members are inserted into the housing the spaces between the ribs form a slot into which an object to be stored may be inserted. The structure can be modified to accomodate different sized objects, such as video cartridges, by removing and reversing the rack members to change the slot thickness and by placing the members in different tracks in the housing to adjust the width of the slots.
