Abstract
A storage container including one or more of: a first wall configured to be coupled to a support and having bifurcated extensions extending therefrom; a second wall opposed to the first wall and having bifurcated extensions extending therefrom; side walls situated between, and coupled to, the corresponding bifurcated extensions of the first and second walls, the side walls each being configured to fold at a hinge situated between the first and second walls; a bottom wall hingedly coupled to the first wall and configured to prevent the side walls from folding when in a down position; and a cover having proximal and distal ends and a hinge situated therebetween, the cover hingedly coupled to the first wall.
Claims17
A storage container device, comprising:
- a first wall configured to be coupled to a support and having bifurcated extensions extending therefrom;
- a second wall opposed to the first wall and having bifurcated extensions extending therefrom;
- side walls situated between, and coupled to, the corresponding bifurcated extensions of the first and second walls, the side walls each being configured to fold at a hinge situated between the first and second walls;
- a bottom wall hingedly coupled to the first wall and configured to prevent the side walls from folding when in a down position,
- a cover having proximal and distal ends and a hinge situated therebetween, the cover being hingedly coupled to the first wall;
- and
- a frame and a sub-bottom wall coupled to the frame, wherein the sub-bottom wall is configured to support the bottom wall,
- wherein the bottom wall has one of a pull strap and an opening configured to allow pulling the bottom wall for rotation toward the first wall.
A storage container device, comprising:
- a first wall configured to be coupled to a support and having bifurcated extensions extending therefrom;
- a second wall opposed to the first wall and having bifurcated extensions extending therefrom;
- side walls having opposed ends and hinges situated between the opposed ends, the side walls being coupled to the corresponding bifurcated extensions of the first and second walls at the opposed ends,
- a bottom wall hingedly coupled to the first wall and configured to prevent the side walls from folding when in a down position;
- and
- a frame and a sub-bottom wall coupled to the frame, wherein the sub-bottom wall is configured to support the bottom wall.
A storage container device, comprising:
- a first wall configured to be coupled to a support and having bifurcated extensions extending therefrom;
- a second wall opposed to the first wall and having bifurcated extensions extending therefrom;
- side walls having opposed ends and at least one hinge situated between the opposed ends, the side walls being coupled to the corresponding bifurcated extensions of the first and second walls at the opposed ends;
- a bottom wall hingedly coupled to the first wall and configured to prevent the side walls from folding inward at the at least one hinge when in a down position,
- a cover having proximal and distal ends and a hinge situated between the proximal and distal ends, the cover being hingedly coupled to the first wall;
- and
- a frame and a sub-bottom wall coupled to the frame, wherein the sub-bottom wall is configured to support the bottom wall,
- wherein the bottom wall has one of a pull strap and an opening configured to allow pulling the bottom wall for rotation toward the first wall, and
- wherein the cover has a slot near the first wall for receiving a package while the storage container device is in a folded state.
