Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, devices, apparatuses, kits, and methods of accessing a container. In a particular implementation, a container includes a housing that defines a cavity and a ladder coupled to the housing. The ladder is movable relative to the housing while the ladder is coupled to the housing. The ladder is movable relative to the housing between: a first position in which the ladder is disposed within the cavity; and a second position in which the ladder is disposed outside the cavity.
Claims21
A toolbox assembly for use with a vehicle, the toolbox assembly comprising:
- a housing that defines a cavity;
- and
- a ladder coupled to the housing, the ladder movable relative to the housing while the ladder is coupled to the housing;
- wherein the ladder is movable relative to the housing between:
- a first position in which the ladder is disposed within the cavity;
- and
- a second position in which the ladder is disposed outside the cavity.
A toolbox assembly for use with a vehicle, the toolbox assembly comprising:
- a housing that defines a cavity;
- a ladder coupled to the housing, the ladder movable relative to the housing while the ladder is coupled to the housing;
- and
- a locking device coupled to the base, the locking device comprising:
- an outer casing;
- and
- a lock disposed within the outer casing and moveable between:
- a locked positioned;
