Abstract
A storage container for cards and file folders. The container has an open top tray with a bottom, side and end walls. A rod extending through the tray between the end walls. A multiplicity of retainer loops mounted on the rod inside the tray. Each retainer loop formed of a tough, resilient, abrasive-resistant resin having a bight portion and two legs. The retainer loops positioned in the tray with their bight portions extending above the side walls of the tray. An opening formed in each leg of each retainer loop to receive the rod to retain the loops in the tray. A slit extends from the opening in each leg to the outer edge thereof to permit the legs to be easily mounted on and removed from the rod. The side walls of the tray are inclined upwardly from front to rear and the retainer loops are varied in height from front to rear to provide a stepped positioning of the cards or file folders held between the retainer loop. The storage container may be formed as a portion of a note paper holder.
