Abstract
A storage/display box for elongated objects has a generally parallepipedal and hollow base having a pair of parallel and spaced side walls and a normally horizontal floor extending between the pair of side walls, a cover pivotal on the base between a closed position closely engaged over the base and closing same and an open position standing upward therefrom, and a holder fittable in the box, adapted to hold at least one of the objects, and having a pair of side walls juxtaposed with the respective side walls of the base. A pivot pin is seated in one of the pairs of side walls for pivoting of the holder between a down end position wholly received in the base and an up end position projecting upward therefrom and through an intermediate position between the down and up positions. A guide formed in the other pair of side walls extends transversely of the floor and receives the pin for movement of the pin relative to the one pair of side walls limitedly transversely relative to the floor. A cam on the holder engageable with the floor displaces the holder away from the floor on movement from either of the end positions into the intermediate position and also displaces the holder toward the floor on movement from the intermediate position into either of the end positions.
