Abstract: A portable file box including sidewalls, endwalls and a bottom wall defining a box interior. The sidewalls and endwalls are provided with a rim portion on the upper ends thereof. The sidewall rim portions are flanged outwardly to define a cover side support ledge thereon and are each provided with an aperture adjacent the support ledge. The endwall rim portions are provided with downwardly extending cut-out portions therein. Two cover members are provided each having opposed laterally extending pivot members adjacent one end and a handle member extending outwardly from the other end. The cover members are arranged in end-to-end relation such that the sides are supported on the ledges, the pivot members are received in the apertures, and the handle members extend through the cut-out portions, respectively. One of the cover members can be removed from the box without removing the other. The file box may be provided with a file support ledge below the cover support ledge for suspending files therefrom.
