  • Patent number: 5022518
    Abstract: An injection molded storage container for precious pieces is of an airtight construction and includes individual holding slots for the pieces. The slots are defined by trapezoidally-shaped separators which prevent the pieces from touching each other, while only the rims of the pieces actually come into contact with the separators. A locking arrangement is provided for securing the storage containers in a closed position, and the containers are further designed to absorb substantial shocks which otherwise could result in damage to the precious pieces stored therein.
