A box, particularly for holding floppy discs, has an outer sleeve enclosing a drawer. The drawer can be withdrawn partially from the sleeve to a position where pins moulded inside the sleeve and sliding in grooves in the sleeve limit the withdrawal. The drawer and sleeve can then be swung with respect to each other and the drawer moved back on itself. The open box is self-supporting in this invert-V configuration.

A box for holding thin objects, comprising: (A) a sleeve, including two opposite side members, a top member and a bottom member, each member having a terminating end defining an open end of the sleeve; (B) a drawer, including two opposite side members and a bottom member, the side members of the sleeve and the side members of the drawer being arranged in two adjacent pairs of one sleeve side member and one drawer side member per pair; and (C) engagement means for interconnecting the drawer and the sleeve so as to allow the drawer to be moved from a first closed position wherein the drawer is substantially enclosed by the sleeve, to a second position wherein the drawer is partially withdrawn from the sleeve, to a third position wherein the drawer is swung through an angle of less than 180 degrees with respect to the sleeve, to a fourth self-supporting open posititon; wherein the engagement means comprises: (1) a respective pin fixedly attached to a side member of each pair of side members so as to be positioned between the corresponding pair of side members, and (2) a respective groove extending in a corresponding side member of the pair of side members for co-operating with a respective one of said pins to interconnect the drawer and the sleeve, each groove having a first elongated portion for guiding at least part of the drawer\s travel between the first and second positions, and each groove having a second portion connected to the first groove portion, the second portion having at least first and second terminating ends, the first end defining a first stop to prevent further withdrawal of the drawer from the sleeve by abutment of a corresponding pin against the first stop, and the second end defining a second stop to prevent the drawer from further movement beyond the fourth position when the drawer is in the third, swung, position, the second portion of the groove having a width transverse to its longitudinal length that is greater than the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the respective pin so as to allow the drawer, when in at least the second position, to be swung with respect to the sleeve into the third position, and to further allow the drawer, when in the third position, to be moved in the second portion of the groove in a direction away from the first terminating end until the respective pin contacts the second stop defined by the second terminating end of the second groove portion, said movement of the drawer such that the bottom member of the drawer abuts at least one terminating end of the members forming the sleeve and defining a relative inclination of the drawer with the sleeve in which the box is self-supporting, thereby positioning the drawer in the fourth self-supporting position; whereby the drawer is partially withdrawable from the sleeve, and from there the drawer and sleeve can be swung with respect to each other through an angle of less than 180 degrees while still interengaged, and the drawer can then be moved into the fourth position wherein the pins abut the respective second ends of each second groove portion to stop further movement of the drawer away from the first end and, together with an engagement of the bottom member of the drawer with at least one terminating end of the members forming the sleeve, defining a relative inclination of the drawer with the sleeve in which the box is self-supporting in its fourth open position.
