ABSTRACT:
A storage box is provided for holding and displaying diskettes including a container portion, a lid portion joined by a living hinge to the container portion and a U-shaped linkage member pivotally interconnecting said container and lid portions to form a combined latch and stand for the box. The hinge is flexible and provides the tension necessary for the snap action movement during the opening and closing of the lid portion. In the closed position, the hinge is under tension to provide a seal. When the lid portion is held in the open position, the U-shaped linkage member forms a stand for the box. Preferably, the geometry of the linkage member is selected to position the container portion at an angle of substantially 45 degrees to the horizontal for display of the diskettes for easy access.
