  • Patent number: 6983946
    Abstract: An easily assembled and disassembled combination apparatus is disclosed for the segregated storage and transport of articles. The apparatus comprises at least one vertically stackable and interlockable storage container removably mounted atop a wheeled base and fitted with an adjustable pulling handle. Constructed of reinforced plastic, the durable, fully-enclosed storage container forms the backbone of the invention's novel integrated frame. The container lid can be secured with an elastic band or locked with an inelastic, tamper-evident band. Connectable handle members and a shoulder strap enable the container to be individually moved or carried. Support members can be used to elevate one container above another when ready access to the contents of both containers is desired, or to elevate one container above the ground surface when a cabinet-style configuration is preferred. Other accessories include an insulated container liner, a container partition assembly, a parts caddy, and a wheeled support.
