ABSTRACT:
A storage container for 3.5 inch diskettes is integrally molded in a single piece. A base has a bottom and front, back and opposite sides which extend upward from the bottom. Front and back living hinges are formed along upper edges of the front and back of the base. Rectangular half covers are formed on the living hinges. Edges of the cover halves abut when closed. Complementary inward facing recesses and outward facing recesses in abutting edges hold the edges in alignment when the covers are closed. Similar recesses are formed in the lower edges of the cover sides and in the upper edges of the base sides. A central semicircular extension along the upper edge of each side of the base engages quarter-circular recesses at corners of the cover sides to align the cover and base sides when closing, and to hold them in alignment. A latch with a downward extending tongue extends forward from a central edge of the top of one cover for engaging an upward opening groove near an edge of the center of the top of the other cover. A semicircular area on the top is reinforced and tapered toward the groove to hold the groove upward in engagement with the tongue, and to allow the semicircular area and groove to be pressed downward out of engagement with the tongue for opening the covers. The covers are folded outward and downward to prevent tipping of the base while rocking the relatively heavy diskettes forward or rearward within the base for reviewing labels on the diskettes and to select a diskette and while removing or inserting a diskette.
