Abstract: A multicompartment storage receptacle is disclosed configured to be mounted between the front seats of an automobile, having a lower compartment member providing large volume compartment, with an upper compartment member functioning as a lid hinged on one side to the lower compartment member. A locking cover for an upper storage compartment is hinged to the opposite side of the upper compartment member from the hinge to the lower compartment member to create an accordion-like unfolding allowing independent access to each compartment. The underside of the cover projects forwardly to be usable as a writing surface, while the top is recessed to form a tray storage space. Circular openings are formed in the upper compartment member at a location aligned with a secondary cavity in the lower compartment member adapted to receive beverage cans and the like disposed in the circular openings.
