Pivotal filing container for magnetic disks

A container for filing generally flat objects such as magnetic disks, comprising:

• a generally rectangular outer support portion having a pair of laterally spaced sidewalls, and spaced front and rear walls extending between the respective opposite ends of said sidewalls, said rear wall including a stop portion;
• an inner file portion disposed generally within said outer support portion and having an open-ended configuration for receiving said articles therein, said inner file portion including an end wall, a pair of laterally spaced sidewalls extending from said end wall, and spaced front and rear walls extending between said file portion sidewalls;
• means pivotally connecting each of said inner file portion sidewalls to a respective one of said outer portion sidewalls, whereby said inner file portion is relatively pivotal about an axis with respect to said outer support portion through an arc of less than 180 degrees, said inner file portion being pivotal from a closed position wherein said inner file portion is substantially nested within said outer support portion, to an open position wherein said inner file portion is disposed in generally upstanding relation to said outer support portion in engagement with said stop portion for permitting access to the articles in said inner file portion;
• said inner file portion including pivot means whereby said front wall thereof is pivotal toward and away from the rear wall thereof when said inner file portion is in said open position to facilitate access to said articles;
• and
• indexing means for preventing unrestrained relative pivotal movement of said inner file portion to said open position after said inner file portion has been relatively moved from said closed position.
