A sewing box assembled by hand from a minimal number of components molded from thermoplastic material. It includes a central tray, spool panels hinged to opposite sidewalls of the central tray and a pair of sidetrays hinged to the remaining sidewalls of the central tray. When the sidetrays and spool panels are pivoted to their open positions, the box has a cross-shaped configuration allowing access to sewing accessories in or on the spool panels, side trays and central tray. When the sidetrays and spool panel are moved to their closed position, the box is highly compact for the amount of storage it provides.

A sewing box comprising: a rectangular central tray having a bottom and left, right, front, and back sidewalls extending up therefrom; rectangular left and right sidetrays pivotally secured to the central tray\s left and right sidewalls, respectively, to move between their open positions, at which they extend away from the central tray and each other, and their closed positions, at which they extend up from the central tray; rectangular front and back spool panels pivotally secured to the central tray\s front and back walls, respectively, to move between their open positions, at which they extend away from the central tray and each other, and their closed positions, at which they extend up from the central tray and adjoin at their top ends; wherein said sidetrays and spool panels are shaped and dimensioned to form, with the central tray, a closed box when in their closed positions, and to form a cross-shaped configuration when in their open positions; said sidetrays and spool panels having snaplocking interlock means normally preventing a sidetray from moving away from its closed position while the spool panels remain closed, said interlock means being released, to allow a sidetray to move away from its closed position, either when the spool panels are opened or when the sidetray is selectively and temporarily deformed by hand while the spool panels remain closed, and said interlock means being engaged, to keep a sidetray in its closed position, either by closing one or both spool panels while the sidetray is in its closed position, or by snaplocking the sidetray into an engagement with one or both closed spool panels by pressing it toward and into its closed position, whereby the sidetrays are normally secured at their closed position when the box is closed for storage or transportation, but can be opened and closed selectively whether or not the spool panels are opened; a manually operable slide lock mounted on each spool panel to move between a locked position at which it engages the other spool panel when the panels are in their closed positions, to thereby lock the panels to each other, and an open position at which it does not engage the other spool panel and allows the closed box to be opened; wherein each of the central tray, sidetrays and spool panels is integrally molded from thermoplastic material, and including hinge pins integrally molded as a part of the respective sidetrays and spool panels and hinge openings integrally molded in the central tray to receive said pins, to thereby pivotally secure the sidetrays and the spool trays to the central tray, said hinge openings having been molded without the use of hole-forming movable cams, and the two sidetrays are identical to each other and interchangeable and the two spool panels are also identical to each other and interchangeable, and wherein the recited components are assembled into the recited box by snaplock connections and without fasteners or adhesives.
