Abstract
A magnetic disc storage container includes a base member having a bottom panel and four rows of guide rails which are disposed at an acute angle with respect to the bottom panel. All of the guide rails are parallel, and the guide rails within each row are equally spaced apart. Storage slots between the guide rails accommodate discs in two rows, the discs being supported in a stair-step manner so that identifying labels applied to the top borders of the discs are always visible. A transparent cover element is hinged to the container, and the disc labels are visible even when the cover element is closed. The cover element is releaseably lockable in its closed and opened positions. The base member is supported like an easel when the cover element is locked in its open position, thereby facilitating selection and use of the discs. Furthermore a molded-in ledge permits the container to be used as a copy holder when it is opened to its easel-stand position. An index card behind a transparent cover panel on the base member is used to assign storage positions for the discs.
