Abstract: A storage container having a housing with an open front and a door for closing the open front of the housing. The housing has spaced parallel sidewalls, a top wall, a rear wall and a bottom wall, and a movable slide is located within the housing above the bottom wall. The door is pivotally connected to the bottom wall and the slide is pivotally connected to the door. The pivotal connection between the slide and the door is located above the pivotal connection between the door and the bottom wall when the door is closed. Legs are located on the lower surface of the slide so that when the door is rotated into the open position, the slide is moved forwardly by the pivotal connection between the slide and the door and the slide is tilted upwardly about the lower end of the legs to permit items resting on the slide to move forwardly onto the door into contact with an indexing stop member which is located on the door.

Abstract: A container having a shell with an open front forming a storage compartment and a door pivotally connected to the shell to close the front of the storage compartment. A slide having a contact leg at its rear edge is located at the bottom of the storage container and is pivotally connected at its forward edge to the door. The pivotal connection between the slide and the door is located above the pivotal connection between the door and the shell when the door is in the closed position. When the door is pivoted into the open position, the slide is moved forwardly out of the storage compartment by the pivotal connection between the forward edge of the slide and the door and the contact leg on the slide contacts an item resting on the slide to move the item out of the storage compartment.
