ABSTRACT:
A utility box for storing small parts and the like has a container molded from a transparent plastic material exhibiting natural flexural characteristics with a generally rectangular configuration defined by a bottom wall and upwardly extending and outwardly tapering side and end walls. The bottom wall has a multiplicity of transversely extending ribs thereon each formed with concave side surfaces and a planar upper surface with a groove therein. The side walls of the container have pairs of aligned slots therein above the ribs of the bottom wall and recesses in the outer surface of the side wall above the slots. The side walls are also provided with pairs of aligned ribs extending upwardly from adjacent the bottom wall to the slots to form channels therebetween. A multiplicity of removable compartment dividers matingly received are seated within the grooves and channels therein, and arm portions at the upper edges thereof lock into the slots of the side walls.
