A storage container or the like including a drawer-like receptacle and a pair of opposed, separable shell-like cover members for releasably supporting the drawer-like receptacle therewithin, each shell-like cover member presenting a mating edge formation to the other shell-like cover member with the mating edge formations including a recessed portion therein of a configuration and perimetral extent to define an access opening therebetween for passing the drawer-like receptacle therethrough, the shell-like cover members presenting means extending inwardly of the access opening for guiding the receptacle under displacement through the access opening and into substantially full registration within the opposed pair of shell-like cover members, and means for releasably securing the shell-like cover members together including a hinge and releasable clasp so arranged such that the shell-like cover members upon release of the clasp swing about the hinge to separate the edge formations and expose the receptacle, and shell-like cover members include a means for releasably anchoring a like storage container thereupon in superimposed registration.
In a storage unit or the like, a drawer-like receptacle, a pair of opposed separable shell-like members for releasably supporting said drawer-like receptacle therewithin, each said shell-like member presenting a mating edge formation to the other of said shell-like members, said mating edge formation including a recessed portion therein of a configuration and perimetral extent to define an access opening therebetween for passing said drawer-like receptacle therethrough, guide means carried by at least one of said shell-like members and extending inwardly of said access opening for guiding said receptacle under displacement through said access opening and into substantially full registration within said opposed pair of shell-like members to define an enclosed unit with said receptacle and for permitting the withdrawal of said receptacle to at least an extent as to provide access to the interior thereof, and hinge means on said shell-like members for pivoting said members away from each other to a substantially open position to expose said drawer-like receptacle registered therein.
A storage unit or the like including a drawer-like receptacle and a pair of opposed separable shell-like cover members for releasably supporting said drawer-like receptacle therewithin, each said shell-like cover member presenting hingedly connecting means at one end thereof for swinging movement about said hinge means from a closed position wherein each said cover member presents a mating edge formation to the other said cover member to define an enclosed unit with said receptacle, to a substantially open position to expose said drawer-like receptacle registered therein, said mating edge formations including a recessed portion therein of a configuration and perimetral extent to define an access opening therebetween for passing said drawer-like receptacle therethrough, guide means carried by said cover members extending inwardly of said access opening for guiding said receptacle under displacement through said access opening and into substantially full registration within said opposed pair of shell-like cover members and for withdrawing said receptacle to at least an extent as to provide access to the interior thereof, means carried by said drawer-like receptacle and said shell-like cover members for releasably securing said receptacle with substantially full registration within said opposed pair of shell-like cover members, and means carried by said drawer-like receptacle and said shell-like cover members for limiting displacement of said receptacle outwardly from registration within said opposed pair of shell-like cover members.
A storage unit or the like including, a drawer-like receptacle of substantially rectilinear outline and a pair of opposed separate cover members of substantially rectilinear outline for releasably supporting said drawer-like receptacle therewithin, each said cover member presenting hingedly connecting means at one end thereof and releasable clasp means at the other end such that said cover members upon release of said clasp mens swing about said hinge means from a closed position wherein each said cover member presents a mating edge formation to the other said cover member to define an enclosed unit with said receptacle, to a substantially open position to expose said drawer-like receptacle registered therein, said mating edge formations including a recessed portion therein of a configuration and perimetral extent to define an access opening therebetween for passing said drawer-like receptacle therethrough, guide means carried by said cover members extending inwardly of said access opening for guiding said receptacle under displacement through said access opening and into substantially full registration within said opposed pair of shell-like cover member and for withdrawing said receptacle to at least an extent as to provide access to the interior thereof, means carried by said drawer-like receptacle and said cover members for releasably securing said receptacle into substantially full registration within said opposed pair of cover members, and means carried by said drawer-like receptacle and said members for limiting displacement of said receptacle outwardly from registration within said opposed pair of cover members.
