1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to storage containers.
More particularly, the invention relates to a storage container for model railroad cars, the container including a pair of spaced apart foam cushions on the top and bottom of the container which compress and secure the railroad cars in fixed position between the cushions in the storage container.
In a further respect, the invention relates to a storage container of the type described in which the foam cushions are cut from a single piece of foam material.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Containers for packing tops and various other material are well known in the art. See, for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,185,739 to Wilford, 4,353,464 to Bentler, 2,860,768 to Smithers, and 4,964,509 to Insley etal. None of such prior art devices appear to be very well adapted to storing model railroad cars or similar articles.
Accordingly, it would be highly desirable to provide an improved storage container which was adapted to retain and transport model railroad cars and similar articles and which minimized the wastage of materials in constructing the container.
Therefore, it is a principal object of the invent to provide an improved storage container.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved storage container including a top and a bottom and including opposed resilient cushion material mounted on top and bottom.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved storage container of the type described in which the cushion material is cut from a single piece of material.
