Abstract
Abstract Pivoting trays are carried on pivot posts. The trays include a storage recess in their upper surface. When the trays are pivoted from a stowed to an open position, the contents of the trays become visible and accessible. Storage recesses are also provided in the base and top members. Compartmented inserts from the storage recess into a selectable number of compartments are carried in the trays and are removable from the trays in their opened position.
