Abstract
A pivotal filing container is disclosed for storage and filing of magnetic computer disks or like generally flat articles. The container construction includes a generally rectangular outer support portion, and a relatively pivotal inner file portion which is pivotal between open and closed positions with respect to the outer support portion. In the preferred form, the inner file portion can be opened to a tray-like V-configuration when disposed in its open position, thus facilitating convenient review and inspection of magnetic disks stored within the file portion. To further facilitate convenient use, an indexing mechanism is provided to prevent unrestrained pivotal movement of the inner file portion to its open position after it has been moved from its fully closed position.
