Abstract
One or more devices are provided that are configured to detachably engage within a modular system. The one or more devices are expandable to provide a surface to perform work.
Claims13
A foldable work platform configured to couple to a modular storage unit, the foldable work platform comprising:
- a first housing comprising a first work surface;
- a second housing comprising a second work surface, the second housing pivotally coupled to the first housing such that the first housing and the second housing are configured to actuate between an open configuration and a closed configuration;
- a first support structure pivotally coupled to the first housing;
- a second support structure pivotally coupled to the second housing, the first support structure and the second support structure configured to collectively support the first housing and the second housing when the first housing and the second housing are positioned in the open configuration;
- and
- a first plurality of male couplers coupled to a first surface of the first support structure, the first plurality of male couplers configured to couple the foldable work platform to a first surface of a stackable storage unit, each of the first plurality of male couplers comprising a first rib and a second rib extending away from each other, wherein the first rib and the second rib are offset from and parallel to the first surface.
