  • Patent number: 10858151
    Abstract: A storage container includes a body, a lid, and two handles. The body defines a compartment between first and second side walls of the body. The compartment is accessible along a top end of the body. The first and second side walls include respective cavities that are recessed from exterior surfaces of the side walls via rims that define perimeters of the cavities. The lid is connected to the top end of the body and encloses the compartment when in a closed position. The two handles are tethered to the body via cords, and are configured to nest within the cavities of the corresponding side walls when not grasped by a person. First and second ends of the handles are configured to engage opposing portions of the corresponding rim to retain the handle nested in the cavity via an interference fit.
