Abstract

A removable storate container for a motor vehicle interior is disclosed. The storage container comprises first and second container halves and a hinge. The first container half has an indentation adapted to engage a projection on a floor of the vehicle. The second container half is disposed adjacent a side wall of the vehicle, and includes at least one hole adapted to removably engage a corresponding projection extending from a side wall of the vehicle. The hinge pivotably connects the first container half and the second container half. Optional features include foam padding disposed between the first container half and the second container half, and a handle connected to the storage container for carrying the storage container when the storage container is removed from the vehicle.
