Abstract: A storage container, for example for flat recording media, comprises a lid part (1), a bottom part (2) and a pocket (28) on the lid part (1). The bottom part (2) and lid part (1) are pivotally connected to one another, and the pocket (28) is turnably coupled to the lid part (1). The entire container consists of two parts, the lid part (1) together with the pocket (28) being produced as one piece. To guide the lid part (1) during swiveling and to open the pocket (28) during swiveling, an arcuate edge portion (14) having a elongate guide element (11) is provided laterally on the pocket, the arcuate edge portion and the spreading element entering an arcuate guide (16) with a tangential part for spreading and locking purposes. The manufactured spatial form of the lid part (1) having a pocket front wall (5) offset at an angle is an advantageous special feature. The container is suitable for FlexyDisks.RTM., video disks, gramophone disks, cassettes, etc.
