  • Patent number: 5344024
    Abstract: A case for organizing and sorting small articles includes a body and a hinged lid with a latch mechanism for closing securely. A plurality of web portions in the inside surface of the lid align with matching web portions in the inside surface of the bottom of the case, forming a plurality of cells in the lid and bottom of the case. An article container fits into each cell, and is sealed at the top by the case lid when it is closed, and is restrained from movement by the top and bottom web. The top surface of the lid includes a recessed article sorting tray, which tapers as a funnel toward the rear of the case and terminates in a chute. An article container is placed in a recessed loading channel at the rear of the body. Small articles can be sorted or selected in the sorting tray in the case top and then returned to the container by lifting the lid.
