Abstract
A storage container includes a base having edges and a front wall, a back wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall extending from the edges of the base. The front wall includes a first opening. The top edges of the front wall, the back wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall bound a second opening to a storage space bound by the base, the front wall, the back wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall. A first divider is positioned between the base and the second opening. The first divider separates the storage area into an upper storage space and a lower storage space. The second opening communicates with the upper storage space and the first opening communicates with the lower storage space.

A storage container, said storage container comprising:
- a base, said base including a front edge, a back edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge;
- a front wall, said front wall including a bottom edge, a top edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, said front wall extending from the front edge of said base, said front wall defining a first opening;
- a back wall, said back wall including a bottom edge, a top edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, the bottom edge of said back wall coupled to the back edge of said base such that said back wall extends from said back edge of said base;
- a first side wall, said first side wall including a bottom edge, a top edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, the bottom edge of said first side wall coupled to the first side edge of said base such that said first side wall extends from the first side edge of said base, the first side edge of said first side wall coupled to the first side edge of said back wall, and the second side edge of said first side wall coupled to the first side edge of said front wall;
- a second side wall, said second side wall including a bottom edge, a top edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, the bottom edge of said second side wall coupled to the second side edge of said base such that said second side wall extends from the second side edge of said base, the first side edge of said second side wall coupled to the second side edge of said front wall and the second side edge of said second side wall coupled to the second side edge of said back wall, wherein the top edges of said front wall, said back wall, said first side wall and said second side wall form a second opening, wherein said base, said back wall, said front wall, said first side wall, and said second side wall bound a storage area;
- and
- a first divider, said first divider positioned between said base and the second opening, said first divider separating the storage area into an upper storage space and a lower storage space, wherein the second opening communicates with the upper storage space and the first opening communicates with the lower storage space.

A storage container comprising:
- a lower base connected to a front wall having a first opening, a back wall opposite the front wall, a first side wall extending on a first side of said lower base between said front wall and said back wall, and a second side wall extending on a second side of said lower base between said front wall and said back wall;
- wherein said lower base, said front wall, said back wall, said first side wall and said second side wall bound a storage area;
- and
- an upper base comprising:
- a second opening in an outer face of said front wall, said back wall, said first side wall said the second side wall;
- and
- a sleeve extending between the second opening and said front wall and between said first side wall and said second side wall, said sleeve dividing at least a portion of the storage area into an upper storage space above said sleeve and a lower storage space below said sleeve;
- wherein the lower storage area is accessible through the first opening.

A collapsible storage container comprising:
- a base including a front edge, a back edge, a first side edge and a second side edge;
- the front edge connected to a front wall having a first top edge and a lower opening, said front wall extending vertically from the front edge;
- the back edge connected to a back wall having a second top edge, said back wall extending vertically from the back edge;
- the first side edge connected to a first flexible wall having a third top edge, said first flexible wall extending vertically from the first side edge and between said front wall and said back wall;
- the second side edge connected to a second flexible wall having a fourth top edge, said second flexible wall extending vertically from the second side edge and between said front wall and said back wall;
- said base, said front wall, said back wall, said first flexible wall and said second flexible wall bounding a storage area;
- the first top edge, the second top edge, the third top edge and the fourth top edge bounding an upper opening to the storage area;
- and
- a divider positioned between said base and the upper opening, said divider parallel to said base and separating the storage area into a lower storage space below said divider and an upper storage space above said divider, the lower storage space in fluid communication with the lower opening, and the upper storage space in fluid communication with the upper opening;
- wherein said first flexible wall and said second flexible wall are configured to fold inwardly towards each other to transition from an open position to a folded position, and to fold outwardly away from each other to transition from the folded position to the open position;
- and
- wherein, when said first flexible wall and said second flexible wall are in the open position, said front wall is at a first distance from said back wall, and when said first flexible wall and said second flexible wall are in the closed position, said front wall is at a second distance from said back wall, the second distance being smaller than the first distance.
