  • Patent number: 6138858
    Abstract: A portable tote container is provided with an open box configuration. Divider panels and a work surface are disposed within the container. The divider panels allow for parts to be organized within the tote container. The work surface has an outer layer of anti-static material and is configured to couple with the divider panels. The work surface has an inner layer of alternative, less expensive material, which has a cavity formed inside. The cavity houses complete or partially complete components and creates an additional storage space within the container. The work surface is also movable in that it slides over the divider panel to cover the divider panels and to create additional work surface area.
