Each bin (62) and compartment (26) are of triangular configuration, and the bins (62) are pivotally coupled at an inward corner to the pivot rods (48), whereby enabling the bins to individually pivot between a storage position within the compartments and an open position outside of the compartments. Leaf spring members (30) are formed in the housing to engage shoulders (76) of the bins (62) as the bins reach the storage configuration and lock the bins within the housing. The spring members (30) further apply a directional ejection force on the bins as the bins are rotated out of the storage position, to assist in pivoting the bins out of their respective compartments.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 1994Date of Patent: May 14, 1996Assignee: Rubbermaid IncorporatedInventors: Rick Branham, Randall W.
