Abstract

A case for floppy disks and other similarly shaped articles is disclosed. The case has a plurality of dividers having a limited arcuate travel to support the disks at an advantageous viewing angle. The case is also provided with a lid which contacts the base of the case along two different axes and the supporting surface simultaneously to prevent the case from tipping. The case is also provided with a handle for carrying the case in a vertical position. The lid is further provided with ridges to prevent disks or other articles contained between the dividers from sliding out of the dividers when the case is carried in a vertical position.
