Abstract: A container storage system comprises structural members with particular hole patterns. In particular, a series of holes placed on an exterior face of a “core” module horizontally along its centerline relative to its height (core module height/2) are also placed on any additional module the same distance (core module height/2) from its mating face (to the core module) to facilitate connection with hinges and connectors by the use of inserting removable hardware through the holes. This structural arrangement allows for a combination of modules to be disassembled and reconfigured as a user's storage needs and/or conditions change over time. The modular storage system is scalable to any size and may be made from any material strong enough to support its own weight and the weight of its contents.

Abstract: The invention generally involves a button display system and button display apparatus for storing, organizing, and facilitating a display of at least one button. The button display system comprises a frame having a plurality of side walls for enclosing the front frame and a viewing window disposed on a front side of the frame and a mount board having one or more cavities spaced apart from each other configured to snugly position one or more buttons. The mount board is affixed over a back panel or backing board to support the above arrangement and display the buttons. The mount board comprises a tab or split between each cavity to divide the cavities. Each cavity includes a channel having a base and a protrusion configured to mount a portion of the buttons inside the cavity by affixing a hook or connecting member into the protrusion.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a toolbox or container having a selectively removable organizer tray that is pivotally attached to the lid of the toolbox. As a user opens the lid of the toolbox, the organizer tray retracts into the lid reducing the organizer tray's obscuring of the interior space of the toolbox.

Abstract: A container, of the type of trunks, suitcases, trolley cases, and the like, which includes at least one first half-shell, which can be closed at a free edge thereof by a second half-shell, when the second half-shell is arranged in a first configuration, in order to define an internal compartment that is designed to accommodate objects. The second half-shell can move from the first configuration to at least one second configuration, of free access to the compartment, and vice versa. The first half-shell has a door arranged, in a first arrangement of use, to close an opening that is provided along at least one first side wall of the first half-shell and is such as to define an additional, independent, access to the compartment. The door moves between the first arrangement and at least one second arrangement, in which the door is at least partially distanced from the opening, in order to allow free access to the compartment, even when the second half-shell is arranged in the first configuration.

Abstract: A portable beverage service device may include a base, defining a central cavity, and a minor lid movably coupled to the base. An organizing divider may be disposed in the base over the central cavity. A plurality of container receptacles may be positioned on the organizing divider and may extend into the central cavity. A chest, which may define an auxiliary cavity that extends into the central cavity, may be disposed in the organizing divider. A major lid, having a lateral restraint, may be coupled to the base and may be movable between a major lid open position and a major lid closed position. The lateral restraint may be moved to a horizontal position when the major lid is in the major lid closed position, and the lateral restraint may be moved to a vertical position when the major lid is in the major lid open position.

Abstract: An insulated container that includes a body and a lid assembly is described. The lid assembly may include a two-piece lid (e.g., two lids) connected with at least one linkage. The two lids may be operable to open in concert in response to a user asserting a single force applied on one of the lids. For example, the lid assembly may be configured such that the assertion of an opening force on one of the lids is transferred via the linkage to the other lid so that both lids open at a similar rate.

Abstract: The invention provides a reading stand. The reading stand may comprising a base portion including at least one base portion sidewall, the base portion sidewall being supported by the base portion; and a platform portion forming a support surface to support the document, the platform portion including at least one page holder to retain the document. The reading stand may further include a side support clip extending from the platform portion such that the base portion sidewall is receivable between the platform portion and the side support clip in an assembled position, the side support clip having a protuberance disposed thereon, the protuberance engageable with the base portion sidewall. The assembled position affords side reading.

Abstract: In a vehicle that features a luggage compartment with a cargo opening that can be closed, as well as an operating element that can be actuated in order to open the luggage compartment, an auxiliary function is provided for a function other than the function of opening the luggage compartment and assigned to the operating element while the cargo opening is open such that no additional operating elements.

Abstract: The invention provides a reading stand. The reading stand may comprising a base portion including at least one base portion sidewall, the base portion sidewall being supported by the base portion; and a platform portion forming a support surface to support the document, the platform portion including at least one page holder to retain the document. The reading stand may further include a side support clip extending from the platform portion such that the base portion sidewall is receivable between the platform portion and the side support clip in an assembled position, the side support clip having a protuberance disposed thereon, the protuberance engageable with the base portion sidewall. The assembled position affords side reading.

Abstract: The invention provides a reading stand. The reading stand may include a base including a base member case. Further, the reading stand may include a reading lid disposed upon the base member case, the reading lid including a reading platform having a front side and a backside; and at least one page holder adjustably mounted on the reading platform so as to assist in retaining a document on the front side of the reading platform. Further, a support member is provided. The support member extends from the backside of the reading platform, and is adapted to engage with the base so as to support the reading lid upon the base. For example, the support member may be in the form of a side support clip that substantially vertically supports the reading lid upon the base for side reading.

Abstract: A container, incorporated with a multi-functional edge frame arrangement, includes a container body including a base panel and a plurality side panels connected to edge portions of said base panel respectively. The multi-functional edge frame arrangement includes a plurality of edge frames, each having a main frame having a L-shaped cross section and two edge holders provided at two side ends of the main frame. An edge portion of the side panel and an edge portion of the base panel are arranged to securely mount along the edge holders respectively so as to connect the side panel with the base panel. At least one of the edge frames is constructed to form a utility edge frame and the multi-functional edge frame arrangement further includes a mounting unit provided on the utility edge frame and a container accessory including a reinforcing member shaped and sized to fittedly mount on the mounting unit.

Abstract: Attache cases and business cases in general typically have a portfolio section for organizing papers and a main packing section. Depending on the needs of the user, these portions can be selectively closed off . However, it's best that these sections are relatively accessible depending on whether the case is opened from the vertical position or whether the case is opened from the horizontal position. Accordingly, Applicant has provided a portfolio catch system which, depending on the orientation of the case, holds the portfolio in a closed position where the front of the portfolio is attached to the lid portion of the case, or in the alternative, if the case is opened from the vertical position, the panel is held to the base of the case, thus preventing the contents of the base from spilling and automatically permitting ready access to the contents of the portfolio.
