Abstract

A diskette storage container is formed of three molded plastic parts which are pivotally connected together. A substantially rectangular base member has upwardly rising side walls, a display operative in the bottom and cams adjacent the side walls. A cover member is pivotally connected to the base so that the rear edge of the cover passes into the base and rests at a slightly obtuse angle against the cams. A diskette support member is pivotally mounted to said cover and includes camming surfaces which ride on said cams as the cover is rotated toward its open position. A notch in said camming surface is positioned to engage the cams when the cover is fully opened. This allows the diskette support member to drop forward a predetermined distance which improves accumibility to the diskette.
