Abstract
Portable storage cases comprising a base and a lid which is automatically movable by a damped, spring-biased lid mechanism. Upon actuation of a release, the lid automatically moves from a closed position to an open position. A display support is pivotally movable with respect to the base and is moved during at least part of the time that the lid is moving from the closed to the open position. The display support is adapted to releasably support at least one item and, if desired, supports a plurality of items. In preferred embodiments, movement of the display support only commences after the lid has moved for some predetermined time, distance or angle.
Claims42
