Abstract
A backsaving device having a main body sized and shaped to corresponding to the height of an under-sink cabinet, such that when the backsaving device is disposed adjacent the under-sink cabinet, a top surface of said main body is generally coplanar with a bottom interior of said under-sink cabinet. This allows a worker working under the sink to lay back on the device comfortably without the edge of the cabinet digging into the back or shoulders. A rotatably flip may be used to bridge the gap between the device and sink to prevent pinching.

A backsaving device comprising:
- a main body generally in the configuration of a rectangular prism, said main body having a height such that when said backsaving device is disposed adjacent to an under-sink cabinet, a top surface of said main body is generally coplanar with a bottom interior of said under-sink cabinet;
- a first flap rotatably attached at an edge of said first flap to a first top edge of said main body, said first flap rotatable from a position adjacent said top surface to a position adjacent a first side of said main body, said first side being perpendicularly adjacent to said top surface:
- a means for removeably attaching said first flap to said first side;
- a second flap rotatably attached at an edge of said second flap to a second top edge of said main body, said second flap rotatable from a position adjacent said top surface to a position adjacent a second side of said main body, said second side being perpendicularly adjacent said top surface;
- a means for removeably attaching said second flap to said second side;
- a carrying handle disposed on a side of said main body;
- and
- at least one storage compartment disposed within said main body;
- wherein said first flap is generally in the configuration of a rectangle and said first flap edge has a length about the same as a length of said first top edge;
- and
- wherein said second flap is generally in the configuration of a rectangle and said second flap edge has a length about the same as a length of said second top edge.
