Abstract
A storage box includes a compartment having a base and opposed sidewalls extending from the base. Each sidewall of the opposed sidewalls includes two first retaining surfaces extend away from the base and along the sidewall where the first retaining surfaces are a first distance away from each other. Each sidewall includes two parallel second retaining surfaces extending away from the first retaining surfaces and along the sidewall. The second retaining surfaces are a second distance away from each other and the second distance is greater than the first distance. The storage box includes a rod, and support surfaces associated with each sidewall of the first pair of opposed sidewalls are configured to support the rod.
Claims19
A storage box comprising:
- a compartment having a base, a first pair of opposed sidewalls extending from the base, and a second pair of opposed sidewalls extending from the base;
- wherein each sidewall of the first pair of opposed sidewalls comprises:
- two parallel first retaining surfaces extending away from the base and along the sidewall, wherein the first retaining surfaces are a first distance away from each other;
- and
- two parallel second retaining surfaces extending away from the first retaining surfaces and along the sidewall, wherein the second retaining surfaces are a second distance away from each other and the second distance is greater than the first distance;
- and
- a pair of arcuate surfaces, each of the pair of arcuate surfaces extending from an associated one of the first retaining surface of the two parallel first retaining surfaces to an adjacent one of the second retaining surface of the two parallel second retaining surfaces;
- and
- a rod having a first end and a second end;
- and
- wherein the two parallel second retaining surfaces and the pair of arcuate surfaces associated with each sidewall of the first pair of opposed sidewalls are configured to support the first end or the second end.
A storage box comprising:
- a compartment having a base and two opposed sidewalls extending from the base;
- wherein each sidewall of the two opposed sidewalls comprises:
- two parallel first retaining surfaces extending away from the base and along the sidewall, wherein the first retaining surfaces are a first distance away from each other;
- two parallel second retaining surfaces extending from the first retaining surfaces and along the sidewall, wherein the second retaining surfaces are a second distance away from each other and the second distance is greater than the first distance;
- an arcuate surface extending from at least one of the first retaining surfaces to at least one of the second retaining surfaces;
- and
- a rod having a first end and a second end;
- wherein the second retaining surfaces and the arcuate surface associated with each of the two opposed sidewalls are configured to support the first end or the second end.
A storage box comprising:
- a compartment having a base and two opposed sidewalls extending from the base;
- wherein each sidewall of the two opposed sidewalls comprises:
- two parallel first retaining surfaces spaced a first distance away from each other;
- and
- two parallel second retaining surfaces spaced a second distance away from each other;
- wherein the two parallel first retaining surfaces extend away from the base, along a first distance of an associated sidewall of the two opposed sidewalls and between the two parallel second retaining surfaces;
- and
- wherein the two parallel second retaining surfaces extend above the first retaining surfaces along a second distance of the associated sidewall of the two opposed sidewalls;
- and
- wherein the second length is greater than the first length;
- wherein in a first configuration the storage box comprises a rod and the first retaining surfaces are configured to support the rod;
- and
- wherein in a second configuration the storage box comprises a dividing wall and the first retaining surfaces or the second retaining surfaces are configured to support the dividing wall.
