Receptacle for storage and display of notions

摘要

A receptacle for storage and display of needles has a flat rear panel of cardboard and a flat front panel of light-transmitting plastic material. Each panel has a first section and a second section, and the first sections are bonded to each other except to define a first chamber with parallel pockets for first portions of needles. The second sections are separably bonded to each other and define a second chamber for second portions of needles. The second section of the rear panel has a first leaf which can be pivoted away from the second section of the front panel, and a second leaf which can be pivoted relative to the first leaf and carries a tongue at the junction of the two leaves. The second section of the front panel has a first flap which can be pivoted away from the rear panel and away from the second portions of the needles so that such second portions become accessible upon pivoting of the first flap and the first leaf away from each other and away from the needles. A second flap of the second section of the front panel can be folded over the second portions of the needles and can be retained in such position by the tongue of the second leaf upon pivoting of the first flap back to its original position adjacent the second portions of the needles.
