Abstract
A magnetic disk and card storage enclosure is described in the following specification configured as a book-like pair of overlying covers that are hinged along a side analogous to a binding. One of the covers has a pivotal tray-like insert connected thereto that can be laid within the enclosure formed between the two covers. The tray-like enclosure can store disks in their entirety or be divided with a wall to provide two adjunct compartments for rectangular magnetic cards. The other cover which is not connected to the insert has a ledge or side wall therearound which forms an internal cavity or enclosure for the entire insert to be laid therein and enclosed when the top and bottom covers are laid in overlying relationship to each other. The insert has a pair of flexible fan tabs which can receive the magnetic disks or cards therebehind for spreading them in a flexible and facile manner. The entire case can be formed from plastic with living hinges for opening and closing the case.
