Securing means, including tabs and screws hold the sections together in the use position, and the upper section acts as a plenum or air duct for the unit. For shipment or storage, the upper section telescopes down onto the lower section, and after having been rotated 90 degrees in the preferred embodiment, to form a compact space saving package.

Abstract: A container having two chambers when assembled, comprises two container halves with each at least four walls rigidly connected with one another. Pairs of the outer chamber walls of each chamber are disposed parallel with one another, one pair forming right angles with the other pair. The walls of one pair are laterally extended beyond one of the walls of the other pair. The chambers of the container house articles of daily use, some disposed upright in the chamber of one container half, while articles in the chamber of the other container half are placed horizontally. Foot means are mounted on the outside of one of the laterally extended walls of one of the container halves, and are adapted for being placed or mounted on a base, whereby the laterally extended wall bearing the foot means is the bottom wall of the container and can be affixed to a table.
