Abstract
A storage device for flat objects includes a main body inform of a stack of overlying support members between a base and a cover. Each support member is formed by a tray for storing a flat object and a mounting part secured to the tray and swingably mounted to a vertical rod that extends eccentrically to a center axis of the main body between the cover and the base. Thus, the support members can be swung in substantial horizontal direction between a closed position and an open position in which the tray is accessible for depositing or removing a flat object.
