DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the drawings, and in particular in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 generally indicates a wristwatch storage container which is hinged to a body 3 by means of an effective hinge device (not shown). It has a body 3 provided with 5. The body 3 and cover 5 are suitably made from a durable plastic material, such as phenol formaldehyde resin, which are colored to the desired color and are easily molded.
The storage container 1 can be opaque or transparent,
It should be opaque. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the main body 3 and the cover 5 are lined with a lining 7 inside, and the lining 7 is adhered by means of an adhesive.
Has a strong central portion 9 which is fixed to the inner surface of the cover and the inner surface of the cover 5 and limits the movement of the cover relative to the body 3.

A conventional watch support bracket, generally designated 12, is secured to a sturdy liner 9, as by rivets 13. According to the present invention, the body 3 has a bottom 1
4, front and back walls 15 and 16, and side walls 17
And a second bottom 20 formed by and and parallel to the outer surface of the bottom 14 but distant therefrom, ie towards the open ends of the walls 15, 16, 17 and 18, forming a chamber 24 of the body 3. Have. The rear wall 16 is cut open between the lines of contact between the bottom 14 and the second bottom 20 to form a groove 26 that allows access to the chamber 24. Although the rear wall 16 is incised in the illustrated embodiment, the incision is likewise in the chamber 2.
Since it has access to 4, it can also be provided on any one of the three walls. Similarly, the storage container
If desired, more than three walls can be provided.
The terms "front wall" and "rear wall" may be "side walls."

When the storage container is formed by molding a plastic material as described above, the four side walls, the bottom 14, the cavity of the chamber 24 and one incision in the wall are integrally molded, and The two bottoms 20 are made separately and are fixed to the mold unit parallel to the bottom 14 as by gluing.

Then, the void is closed except for the groove 26 shown in FIG. 1, and the chamber 24 is completed. Other methods of making the body and providing the chamber 24 can, of course, be used.

In FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the booklet 30 is shown in the chamber 24 by the broken line together with the drawing or identification mark.
Shown as being in. The booklet 30 can be easily inserted into the chamber 24 by introducing it through the groove 26. It is a feature of the present invention that the paper clip is always reliably held in the chamber 24 regardless of the spatial arrangement of the storage container. For this reason, the bottom surface of the bottom 14 or the top surface of the second bottom 20 may be roughened or provided with friction-increasing properties, such as by stretching felt or velvet or rubber or the like thereon. However, an effective increase in friction is achieved by reducing the height of the groove 26 and the chamber 24, i.e., the distance between the opposing faces of the bottoms 14 and 20 relative to the thickness of the booklet 30 that enters the chamber 24. The booklet needs to be compressed or clamped together when it is inserted into the chamber
4 is frictionally locked to the top and bottom. The booklet is sized to fit completely within the chamber 24.

However, the user sometimes tries to take out the booklet 30 from the storage position where the booklet 30 is securely shielded in the main body 3. To this end, according to the invention, the second bottom 20 is provided with a hole 35 between the walls 17 and 18, preferably in the center thereof. The holes can be circular, rectangular or any other desired shape that allows the user's thumb or fingers to contact and move the booklet in the chamber 24 towards the groove 26. As shown by the phantom lines in FIG. 3, the simple movement of the thumb or finger toward the groove 26 is booklet 3
Helps push 0 out of chamber 24.

Therefore, the storage container can be repeatedly opened and closed without exposing the booklet 30 and losing it, and the booklet is effectively stored until needed by the user. Thus, a package is obtained which in fact comprises a storage unit and a freshly stored booklet or a sandwich or other identification holding unit.

In FIGS. 1-3, holes 35 are illustrated as holes spaced from the four ends of the bottom 20 of the second box. A hole can be associated with one of the ends, preferably with a matching groove 26, as shown in FIG. 4, and like parts are designated by like numerals. In FIG. 4, the hole 35 coincides with the rear end of the second bottom 20 near the groove 26, and the hole 35 has a semicircular shape. It can also have different shapes. Furthermore, although the embodiment of FIGS. 1-3 and 4 has a generally rectangular cross section, the features of the present invention, as noted above, may also be implemented as boxes or bins of other geometric cross sections. It is possible. For example, they may not be hexagonal, octagonal or square, ie they may have a rectangular cross section, one long and one short, and thus a second bottom. The second bottom 20 of such a storage container is
As shown, the same parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 4 are designated by the same reference numerals. In FIG. 5, the second bottom 20 has long front and rear ends, similar to the embodiment of FIG.
The hole 35 coincides with the second bottom 20 and thus the groove 26 and has a semicircular shape, but like FIGS. 1 to 3,
The holes 35 can be separated from all four ends. It can also have other shapes.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5, the end of the second bottom 20 and the hole 35 are surrounded by projections or ridges which support the receiving container. 4 and 5
The rest of the illustrated embodiment has the same structure as already described for the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, namely the side wall, the top or cover chamber 24, the bottom, etc., but its interior is The storage container differs depending on the intended product, for example, the lining, the product support bracket, and the like.

It will be apparent that various other changes and modifications of the illustrated embodiment can be made without departing from the invention, which is limited to the claims.

For example, the second bottom 20 may be entirely spaced from the bottom 14 or only partially inwardly from the groove 26 or sidewalls 17 and 18 to have a limited depth from the groove or It is possible to form a chamber of limited width between the opposing side walls. Similarly, while the illustrated embodiment is configured to house wristwatches, they can also be configured to house other items. Therefore, all matters described in the specification and drawings are merely illustrative and not restrictive.
