Abstract: A receptacle storage box ideally suited as a night storage safe for receiving, isolating and storing windshields has a front panel flap hinged to the front of a top lid hinged at the back, and an accompanying fail-safe stop mechanism for holding the lid and flap in a stable open access position. Thus, the lid provides easy to grasp and raise structure which locks into the open access position out of the way to permit a low front threshold over which windshields are lifted for storage in an internal rack exposed by the access opening encompassing both the front flap opening area and a top lid opening area. Advantages are provided of an easy and safe manual opening characteristic with lid resident in a fail-safe locked-in-place position presenting a large top and front work window area for entry of a windshield into the box over a low threshold front panel member.
