Covered bins and a rotatable assembly for holding a plurality of them in a cantilevered array is provided wherein the bins may be easily removed and added as necessary. A bin support column having an exterior shape of a regular prism is mounted for rotation on a base. Each face of the support column has an array of vertically spaced pairs of prongs. Each pair of prongs engages and releasably secures a bin to the face of the column. Each bin has a bottom wall, two side walls, a forward wall, and a rearward wall. Each bin is mounted to the support column with its rearward wall adjacent a face of the column by means of two slots which receive the pair of prongs projecting from the face of the support column. Preferably, each bin has a cover which is hinged to open and close over the top of the bin and which is slidably engaged with the side walls of the bin to allow complete removal therefrom. A handle is provided on the top of the support column to permit carrying the bin assembly from place to place and the whole assembly is easily disassembled into substantially flat pieces for easy storage and shipping.
A rotatable assembly of multiple, removable, and interchangeable bins comprising:
A rotatable, multiple storage bin carrier for supporting a plurality of bins, each of said bins having a rear support wall defining a pair of slots, said carrier comprising:
The assembly in accordance with claim 21 in which said first portion of said cover and said tilting portion of said cover each comprise a plate of transparent thermoplastic material of substantially the same thickness and in which said tilting portion and said first portion of said cover are connected by a reduced thickness of thermoplastic material to provide a flexible hinge therebetween.
