Abstract

A storage container and display device for floppy diskettes, and the like, has a base portion (10) forming a receptacle (12) of generally rectangular configuration and having a support portion (14) hingedly attached thereto and removeably interlocked with a first portion (24) of an upper part (22). A second portion (26) of the upper part (22) is hingedly attached to the first portion (24) thereof so as to cooperatively form a holder for floppy diskettes, and the like. When both portions (24, 26) of the upper part (22) are swung open relative to one another, the contents thereof can be placed on display. Conversely, when both portions (24, 26) of upper part (22) of the unit are in overlying relation and folded into the receptacle (12) formed by the base portion (10) a compact storage unit results. A guide arrangement is associated with both the base portion (10) and the upper part (22) for facilitating relative movement between the various parts and portions of the device.
