Abstract

A storage container for mini-disk cartridge is described which includes a base tray, a cover and a disk tray. The base tray includes an inside bottom surface, a pair of side walls protruding upwardly from the bottom surface, a rear wall extending upwardly from the bottom surface, and is pivotally connected to the cover. The disk tray for receiving the mini-disk cartridge may have an open window or may have a floor, and rests within the base tray. The container can also be used without the disk tray by including extensions protruding upwardly from the bottom surface of the base tray to substantially surround the mini-disk cartridge.
