Abstract
An apparatus for transporting, storing and airing equipment is provided having a container and a support structure. The container is defined by a plurality sides of least one of which is movable to provide access to all of or a portion of an interior of the container. Equipment can be releasably attached to the interior via an organized array of attachments disposed along an interior surface of one or more side. The support structure can elevate a side of the container thereby disposing the container at an angle relative to a support floor. In that position, the container can be maintained in an open configuration allowing an air flow to pass over and/or through the equipment for airing.
Claims18
An apparatus for transporting, storing and airing equipment comprising:
- a. a container having an interior defined by one or more sides, each side having an interior surface and an exterior surface, at least side being substantially rigid, and at least one side being movable to provide an opening to a portion of the container interior;
- b. one or more attachments that releasably secure equipment, the attachments arranged along an interior surface of at least one side and arranged corresponding to a size and shape and use of the equipment to be releasably secured by the one or more of the attachments;
- and
- c. a support structure, the support structure elevates an end of the container such that the container is disposed at an angle relative to a support floor, whereby the openings provide passage for an air flow to pass over and around the equipment secured in the container interior.
A method for using an apparatus for transporting, storing and airing equipment comprising:
- a. obtaining at a first location an apparatus having a container and a support structure, the container having an interior defined by one or more sides, each side having an interior surface and an exterior surface, at least one side being movable to provide an opening into a portion of the container interior, at least one side having one or more attachments along its interior surface, the attachments arranged to correspond to equipment stored in the container interior, the attachments releasably securing the equipment;
- b. releasably securing one or more pieces of equipment to the attachments;
- c. transporting the container to a second location;
- d. moving at least one side to provide an opening to a portion of the container interior;
- e. removing one or more pieces of the equipment;
- f. using the one or more pieces of equipment;
- g. releasably securing the equipment used to the attachments;
- h. deploying the support structure, the support structure elevating an end of the container relative to a support floor, whereby the container is disposed at an angle relative to the support floor;
- and
- i. moving one or more sides providing one or more openings into the container, whereby an air flow can pass over and through the equipment secured in the container.
