File storage container

Abstract

An improved file storage container includes a generally rectangular box having a base wall and front, rear and side walls mounted on and extending upwards from the base wall thereby forming the generally rectangular box. A box lid includes a lid top wall and a lid front wall, lid rear wall and lid side walls mounted on and extending downwards from the lid top wall, the box lid being adapted to fit onto and cover the generally rectangular box. A connection and securement device includes lower and upper interlocking sections, the lower section mounted atop the generally rectangular box circumferentially around an upper edge of each of the front wall, rear wall and side walls of the generally rectangular box, and the upper section mounted on a lower edge of each of the lid front wall, lid rear wall and lid side walls of the box lid, the upper and lower sections releasably interlocking to form a generally watertight and vermin-proof seal thereby substantially preventing incursion of water and vermin into the box. For supporting the box above a ground surface, the box includes at least three feet mounted on and projecting downwards from the base wall of the generally rectangular box. Finally, the box lid includes at least three feet-receiving indentations formed in the lid top wall of the box lid for receiving and frictionally retaining the feet of a second file storage container mounted thereon whereby file storage containers may be stacked on one another for storage.
