Abstract

The hanging diskette storage cabinet is a diskette storage box that may be hung between an ordinary pair of hanging rails in a file drawer. By this arrangement, a user may keep diskettes in easy reach and may secure the diskettes by simply locking the file drawer. The diskette box may also include a lid which has an upper recess surface such that, when the diskette storage box is hung in a file drawer, the lid may be open onto and over index tabs carried by files located behind the diskette storage box. In this fashion, the lid may lie flat over the files without damaging the index tabs and allowing the drawer to be closed with the box open. In a second aspect, the hanging diskette storage cabinet is a diskette storage box that may be variably configured. The diskette storage box is preferably dimensioned to accommodate an integral number of diskettes of a first size in one direction and an integral number of diskettes of a second size in the other direction. The diskette box includes false floors and divider vanes allowing the user to customize the box to accommodate diskettes of the first and second size in a multitude of configurations.
