Abstract
A portable file box including sidewalls, endwalls and a bottom wall defining a box interior. The sidewalls and endwalls are provided with a rim portion on the upper ends thereof. The sidewall rim portions are flanged outwardly to define a cover side support ledge thereon and are each provided with an aperture adjacent the support ledge. The endwall rim portions are provided with downwardly extending cut-out portions therein. Two cover members are provided each having opposed laterally extending pivot members adjacent one end and a handle member extending outwardly from the other end. The cover members are arranged in end-to-end relation such that the sides are supported on the ledges, the pivot members are received in the apertures, and the handle members extend through the cut-out portions, respectively. One of the cover members can be removed from the box without removing the other. The file box may be provided with a file support ledge below the cover support ledge for suspending files therefrom. The apertures are shaped to prevent the pivot members therein from moving past each other during opening or closing movement of the cover members to preclude binding thereof.
