Storage case

Abstract

A lockable storage case includes a top cover pivotably coupled to a bottom cover through a spine. The top cover includes loops or an upper lock receiving member and a lower lock receiving member defining a top cover lock insertion path. The bottom cover includes loops or an upper lock receiving member and a lower lock receiving member defining a bottom cover lock insertion path. The lower lock receiving members of both the top and bottom covers include hooks for receiving and maintaining a latch. When the top cover is closed on the bottom cover, the top and bottom cover insertion paths combine to form a combined lock insertion path. A lock for the storage case includes first and second catch mechanisms with first and second catches. To lock the storage case, the lock is inserted into the combined lock insertion path so that the catches on the lock mate with and are retained with the hooks in the top and bottom covers.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A storage case comprising: 
 a first cover;    a second cover hinged to said first cover;    a plurality of loops disposed at an edge of said first cover; and    a plurality of openings disposed on said second cover;    wherein each of said plurality of loops is partially received in a respective one of said openings when said storage case is closed whereby the thickness of said storage case is reduced.
