Abstract: A storage container having a bin and a lid is provided. The bin has a base panel, a front panel and a rear panel extending upward from the base panel, and two side panels extending upward from the base panel and spanning between the front and rear panels. A storage space is defined by the volume above the base panel and between the side panel, the front panel and the rear panel. The side panel, front and rear panels flare outwardly, extend from the base panel, and define a storage space that is smaller in cross sectional area proximate the base panel than proximate upper ends of the side panel. The lid has a top panel with a perimeter and a lip extending downwardly from the perimeter, and the lip flares outwardly as it extends downwardly from the perimeter of the top panel to facilitate vertical nesting of a plurality of like lids.

Abstract: A secure latch having a lid that includes a panel and a plurality of walls extending from the edges of the panel forming a skirt, the skirt having a cut out portion. A latch handle is pivotably mounted to an underside of the lid proximate the cut out portion. The latch handle is partially shielded from accidental contact by the skirt.

Abstract: A storage container lid includes a base portion having at least one through opening and a cover portion including a first panel hingedly attached to a second panel, the cover portion being hingedly attached to the base portion. The first and second panels may be moved independently of one another to access the at least one through opening and wherein the at least one through opening is covered when one of the first and second panels in a closed position.

Abstract: Document storage trays are disclosed that may be stacked in at least two different configurations including a “nesting” stack where an upper tray fits within the storage area of a lower tray and, in turn, is also able to receive a tray within its own storage area so that multiple trays can be stacked nested together. The document storage trays may also be stacked in a vertical configuration and the trays include appropriately placed slots, detents, bosses and legs for a stable vertical stacking configuration so that multiple trays may be stacked one on top of another and form a stable structure. At least one embodiment further enables the trays to be stacked in a cascaded form so that front edges of the trays are staggered laterally from the bottom tray to the top tray. At least one embodiment includes a built-in collating function so that each tray is able to receive documents from one of two different and perpendicularly oriented sides.

Abstract: A portable container for holding office products and documents includes a rigid structural portion capable of holding hanging folders in a cascading configuration and a cover portion attached to the rigid structural portion. The cover portion may be made from a pliable material, to make the container lightweight and aesthetically pleasing. The container may include a removable insert for supporting hanging file folders. The removable insert may also be used in other containers, such as desk drawers, boxes, filing cabinets, etc.

Abstract: Horizontally nestable document holders having structure arranged such that, when nested with other similar document holders, all portions of the front-most document holder are arranged prominently of each corresponding portion of the remaining document holders nested therewith. The front-most document holder may be removed without compromising the stability of any of the remaining document holders with which it is nested, and without having to provide any support to the remaining document holders.

Abstract: An article holder has a bottom panel having a rear edge, a forward edge, and a pair of opposed side edges. The holder has a back wall that extends upward near the back edge of the bottom panel and has a lower edge, an upper edge, and a pair of opposed side edges. The back wall diverges from a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the bottom panel moving up and away from the bottom panel. A pair of side walls are spaced apart and opposed relative to one another, with one extending forward from a respective one of the side edges of the back wall and generally upward relative to a respective one of the side edges of the bottom panel. The pair of side walls diverge at least slightly away from one another both moving up away from the bottom panel and moving forward from the back wall. A storage receptacle is defined above the bottom panel, forward of the back wall and between the side walls. The storage receptacle has a width that is greater near the top edges of the side walls than near the bottom panel.

Abstract: A document sorter has a pair of laterally spaced apart side support beams. Each beam has a front end and a rear end. A plurality of generally vertically oriented dividers is spaced apart from one another along the beams. Each divider traverses a space between the side support beams and includes a front divider, a rear divider, and an intermediate divider therebetween. A storage space is defined above the side support beams between each adjacent pair of dividers. Each of the plurality of dividers has a portion positioned above an inner most edge of each of the side support beams. That portion has a width that is less than the space between the side support beams adjacent that divider. Each divider has laterally opposed ends connected one each to a respective one of the side support beams. The sorter can be stacked upon and nested with multiple like sorters.

Abstract: A storage container having dual access includes a storage frame, a container lid and a drawer. The storage frame includes a bottom frame, a pair of interconnected side frames and a rear frame defines a first opening in the top of the frame and a second opening in the front of the frame. The removable container lid closes and opens the top opening in the storage container to allow access to the storage container contents. The drawer slides in and out of the second opening to allow a second access point to the contents of the storage container.

Abstract: A portable container for holding office products and documents includes a rigid structural portion capable of holding hanging folders in a cascading configuration and a cover portion attached to the rigid structural portion. The cover portion may be made from a pliable material, to make the container lightweight and aesthetically pleasing. The container may include a wire insert for supporting hanging file folders.
