Abstract
The following specification discloses a diskette storage container having a base that has four upstanding walls that receive a plurality of pivotal slotted or fan tabbed individualized containers. The individualized pivotal containers have a plurality of slots provided by splines, ledges or webs on either side that receive diskettes therein and include a stepped base for exposing diskettes on a stair stepped basis within the slotted containers. Each individualized container is pivotally held on the base member by means of an upright securement formed as a pair of parallel walls forming a groove therein which receives a spindle formed in the bottom of the pivotal individualized container so that it can provide pivotal movement by the spindle moving in a rotational manner within the channel of the two upright walls forming the groove. The pivotal containers are enclosed within a hinged top cover that seats on the bottom base and provides for a dust cover and a protective case in cooperation with the base. An alternative individualized container of this invention has a flexible fan tab and receipt area for handling multiple stacked disks or diskettes.
