  • Patent number: 5676274
    Abstract: A rollable storage device having a plurality of compartments for storing objects therein. Each compartment includes a bottom wall and outwardly extending side walls and end walls, and an open upper side. Each of the compartments includes a different cross-sectional shape. The bottom walls of the compartments are hingedly interconnected to form a unitary continuous row of compartments with at least a majority of the bottom walls formed from a unitarily molded sheet of plastic which extends beneath a majority of the compartments, wherein the hinges are formed from same single sheet of plastic as the bottom walls. The row of compartments is rollable between a first extended open position in which the compartments rest on their bottom walls with the upper sides of the compartments turned upwardly, and a second, rolled-up closed position in which the row of compartments has been spirally wound from the open position to form a substantially closed block of hexagonal shape.
