Description
- This application claims priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/176,494 filed Feb. 20, 2015, which is hereby incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a convertible container assembly.
- Workers and craftsmen in various trades and industries, as well as any other user of tools and similar objects, store and carry tools and other objects to and around a worksite in order to accomplish tasks. As one example, a craftsman in the vehicle wrap industry has several tools that should be conveniently accessible at a worksite. The craftsman must then transport the tools to a new location. If, to accomplish a task, a craftsman is required to store and carry additional items, such as a tool belt, carrying case, or surface mounting device the additional items add bulk and weight. Because a typical craftsman must frequently store and access tools and other items, and transport the items to a new location, energy, time, and productivity are wasted with the bulk and weight of additional tools and items.
- Further, space constraints surrounding the work site, surface, or particular space in which a worker must work often require the worker to sit or kneel, or maintain themselves in a position that is stressful to the knees, back, shoulders, or other portions of the body to accomplish a required task.
- Therefore, there exists a need in the art for a container assembly that allows improved object accessing, storing, and transporting to improve the efficiency of accomplishing tasks that require the use of tools and other objects. Further, there exists a need in the art for a container assembly that supports a person and increases comfort for a person accomplishing a task.

- The holder member may include a first plurality of attachment portions at a holder member perimeter. The pad member may include a second plurality of attachment portions at a pad member perimeter when the pad member forms a substantially parallelepipedous shape upon folding of the folding portions, wherein the first plurality of attachment portions at the holder member perimeter is configured to attach to the second plurality of attachment portions at the pad member perimeter when the pad member forms a substantially parallelepipedous shape upon folding of the folding portions. The first plurality of attachment portions may form a substantially continuous first attachment line around substantially the entire holder member perimeter, and the second plurality of attachment portions forms a substantially continuous second attachment line to attach to the first attachment line when the pad member forms a substantially parallelepipedous shape upon folding of the folding portions. The coupling member may include a magnetic coupling member configured to couple the holder member to a ferromagnetic surface. The plurality of folding portions may include a plurality of overlapping portions, each of the plurality of overlapping portions having at least one overlapping portion attachment member securing the plurality of overlapping portions against the plurality of folding portions such that an internal cavity is defined by the plurality of folding portions when the pad member forms the substantially parallelepipedous shape upon folding of the folding portions.
- In accordance with a third embodiment of the present disclosure, a convertible container assembly is provided comprising an upper member having a first plurality of attachment portions at an upper member perimeter, and a lower member including a substantially planar central portion and a plurality of outer portions disposed around the central portion, wherein the lower member is convertible from a first configuration wherein the central portion and the plurality of outer portions are both substantially planar, to a second configuration wherein the central portion remains substantially planar and the plurality of outer portions are substantially orthogonal to the central portion to define a lower member internal cavity, the plurality of outer portions further including a second plurality of attachment portions, wherein the first plurality of attachment portions at the upper member perimeter is configured to attach to the second plurality of attachment portions at the plurality of outer portions.

In an embodiment, thepad portion 56 is included in thecentral portion 30 only. In an embodiment, thepad portion 56 is included in one or more of the overlappingportions 38. In an embodiment, thepad portion 56 is included in one or more of theouter portions 32 only. In an embodiment, thepad portion 56 is included in both thecentral portion 30 and theouter portions 32. In an embodiment, thepad portion 56 is included in thecentral portion 30, theouter portions 32, and the overlappingportions 38. As one non-limiting example, the person may kneel on thepad portion 56, causing thepad portion 56 to deform and distribute the concentrated pressure at a point on the knee across a larger area of the knee or leg. This allows the person to work longer and more comfortably with less injury or distraction while accomplishing the task. Additionally, thepad portion 56 protects the contents of thecontainer assembly 10 when objects are disposed in thecavity 34 when thecontainer assembly 10 is in thesecond configuration 28, or disposed on thelower member 14 when thecontainer assembly 10 is in thefirst configuration 26. - In one embodiment, a
user 58 places one or more objects, such as tools, in theinterior cavity 34 of thecontainer assembly 10 when thecontainer assembly 10 is in thesecond configuration 28. Theuser 58 then transports thecontainer assembly 10 to aworksite location 100. Theuser 58 then separates theupper member 12 from thelower member 14 in one embodiment to access the objects in theinterior cavity 34. In another embodiment, theuser 58 accesses the objects through theopening 94 without separating theupper member 12 from thelower member 14. In an embodiment, theuser 58 positions theupper member 12 on thesurface 54 in an embodiment to allow access to thefirst side 48. Theuser 58 converts thelower member 14 from thesecond configuration 28 to thefirst configuration 26. Theuser 58 then positions thelower member 14 on the floor, ground, or other surface below theuser 58 to provide support for theuser 58. When theuser 58 wishes to move to another location, theuser 58 converts thelower member 14 from thefirst configuration 26 to thesecond configuration 28 and places the objects or tools into theinterior cavity 34. Theuser 58 removes theupper member 12 from thesurface 54 in an embodiment. Theuser 58 then attaches theupper member 12 to thelower member 14 or otherwise closes thecontainer assembly 10 and transports thecontainer assembly 10 to another location. - The
container assembly 10 of the present disclosure allows improved object accessing, storing, and transporting to improve the efficiency of accomplishing any task that requires the transportation and use of tools or other objects. Further, as described above, thecontainer assembly 10 supports theuser 58 and increases comfort for theuser 58 while he or she accomplishes a task. - The
upper member 12 andlower member 14 of thecontainer assembly 10 in one embodiment comprise a flexible material. Theupper member 12 and/orlower member 14 of thecontainer assembly 10 in one embodiment comprise a durable material. Theupper member 12 and/orlower member 14 of thecontainer assembly 10 in one embodiment comprise a stain-resistant material. Theupper member 12 and/orlower member 14 of thecontainer assembly 10 in one embodiment comprise a material that is easy to clean, waterproof, and/or water-resistant. Theupper member 12 andlower member 14 of thecontainer assembly 10 in an embodiment are constructed of leather. However, such non-limiting materials as fabrics and textiles such as canvas and/or ripstop nylon, plastics such as polypropylene, elastomers, metals, woods, composites, and any combination thereof, form theupper member 12 and/or thelower member 14 in additional embodiments of the present disclosure. - Having shown and described particular embodiments of the disclosure, those skilled in the art will realize that many variations and modifications may be made to affect the described disclosure and still be within the scope of the claimed disclosure. Thus, many of the elements indicated above may be altered or replaced by different elements which will provide the same result and fall within the spirit of the claimed disclosure. It is the intention, therefore, to limit the disclosure only as indicated by the scope of the claims.
