A receptacle comprising:
- a generally cylindrical housing with opposing open ends;
- a cover having first and second portions connected to one another by a connecting member, said cover pivotably attached to said housing to move between a closed position in which the opposing open ends of said housing are closed by said first and second portions of said cover, and an open position in which one of said open ends is not closed by said cover;
- a locking structure provided between said housing and said cover for locking said receptacle in the closed position or the open position.
An electronics cord management receptacle comprising:
- a spool having a spool pin extending between a free spool cap, and an attached spool cap, the spool pin adapted for retaining a wound cord thereof;
- and
- a tubular cover member having opposing open ends, each said open end defining a terminal edge, said cover member pivotally attached to said attached spool cap such that in a closed position said spool caps are generally flush with the terminal edges of said tubular cover member and said spool pin is disposed within said cover member, and in an open position, said spool is pivoted about the cover member such that said attached spool cap is flush with one of said terminal edges of said tubular cover member and said free spool cap and said spool pin are disposed outside of said cover member.
A receptacle comprising:
- a tubular housing having opposing open ends adapted to contain an object;
- a cover member pivotally attached to said housing and adapted to move between a closed position in which the housing is sealed and any object therein is protectably contained, and an open position in which the housing is opened and any object therein is accessible, wherein said cover member is attached to said housing on diametrically opposed pivot points by pivot pins and mating apertures;
