Problems solved by technology

During bulk shipment from the manufacturer to the retailer, the volume of empty space in the container can be a loss to the shipper and can result in a higher cost per unit for the retailer
Also, the containers are often displayed for sale by stacking one product on top of a similar product, thus losing display space for valuable empty storage space within the container

Embodiment Construction

[0010] A card file case typically includes a first part or bottom and a second part or lid hinged together. Each of the first and second sections includes a panel and two sets of opposing walls. In the closed configuration, the card file case is box-like in appearance, including a storage space defined between the panels and walls of the first and second sections. The card file box is sized for storing index cards or the like. In addition, the size and shape of the card file box can be selected according to the objects to be stored in the storage space. Card file boxes can be manufactured in virtually any size to accommodate the intended card size. For example, a card file box may be sized to receive 3" x 5" cards, 4" x 6" cards, business cards, or virtually any other size card or document.

[0011] Figure 1 shows a card file case 10 constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention. Card file case 10 is shown in a closed position and includes a first p...

Abstract

The present described card file includes a base and a lid hingedly joined together. The base includes a base panel, front, back and side walls. Likewise, the lid includes a lid panel, front, back and side walls. The front, back, and side walls, of both the base and lid extend away from respective ones of the base and lid panels. The front and back walls diverge away from one another moving away from the base or lid panel. Likewise, the side walls diverge away from one another moving away from the base or lid panel. A first storage space is defined between the base panel and respective front back and side walls of the base. Similarly, a second storage space is defined between the lid panel, and respective front, back and side walls of the lid. Thus, both the first and second storage spaces are generally smaller in cross-sectional area near respective base or lid panels than near the exposed edges of the front, back and side walls of the base and lid. The card file is stackable with like card files in a nested configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates generally to storage devices, and in particular to nestable card file cases. Background technique [0002] Card archive containers are well known in the art. Most of these containers are simple boxes with an opening at or near the upper surface for access to the storage space within the container. Because these containers themselves include nearly empty space, they typically take up a considerable amount of retail shelf space and also take up a very large amount of space during shipment. [0003] From a retail point of view, a significant drawback of these containers occurs when the containers are shipped in bulk and displayed for sale. Since said containers are specially made to accommodate a plurality of cards, they consist of an almost empty space surrounded by four or more walls and a bottom. During bulk shipment from the manufacturer to the retailer, the empty volume of space within the container can be a loss to the sh...
