ABSTRACT:
A packaging case for presenting elongated objects (such as pencils (103) and flat objects, such as computer disks (350), for easy removal and selection and for transporting and storing such objects in a compact and protected condition. The case comprises a base (50) having a plurality of upright partitions (58) hingedly attached thereto at spaced locations, and a plurality of shelves (68) attached to spaced, corresponding locations on said partitions. The shelves have elongated slots (66) for receiving the objects and holding them parallel to the partitions. When the partitions are folded upright, the objects are held upright so that they will be spaced and can all be easily seen, selected, and replaced. When the partitions are folded down, the objects and shelves will be close and parallel to the base so as to provide a very compact package for easy transportation and/or storage. The case can be closed by foldover flaps or ends (56) which are either separate or which extend from the sides of the base, or from its back and/or front. The partitions can be urged to their upright positions by elastic bands (196) or springs (106) connected between partitions or between a partition and the base, or manually of by operation of the case's lid. The slots in the base can be elongated in directions parallel to the partitions for holding flat objects like computer disks, and perpendicular to the partitions for holding long, thin objects like pencils.
