Abstract

A container adapted for use as a tool or utility box which is constructed to provide maximum flexibility in storing articles therein. The body of the container comprises side walls having inwardly directed ribs and ledge portions for slidably supporting a tray assembly. Smaller compartments may be formed within the interior of the container by using specially constructed dividers that cooperate with the inwardly directed ribs. The height of the dividers is less than the length of the side walls so that articles may be supported above the compartments formed by the dividers. Further, the construction of the container walls and tray assembly permits various sizes and types of articles to be stored and segregated within the container.
