It will be further noted that by holding such objects in a substantially vertical orientation, movement of a container will not be impeded by collision of the objects with other objects adjacent to the container (for example the elongated objects will not collide with a doorway through which the container is moved, or scratch a wall if the container is accidentally moved thereagainst).

  • a gap G is formed between the two bottom surfaces and as such the peripheral carrying sections 425 are not nested one within the other but are rather parallely positioned one over the other.
  • the height of the gap corresponds in accordance with the illustrated example to the height of the recess extending upwardly into the central carrying section.
  • the dimensions, shape and size of the container 400 may vary as desired.
  • the ratios of the widths, heights, wall thickness may vary as desired.
  • the portable container of Figs. 7A-8C may have any of the features mentioned above with respect to the containers 100, 200, 300.
  • the containers as described may comprise a cover (not seen).
  • the cover may be made from the same material as the container, and may be designed with the same color pattern.
  • the cover may be adapted to conform to the shape of the entire contour of the container, or only covering the central carrying portion.
  • the cover may constitute an additional carrying section, e.g. formed with receptacle, clots, hooks etc. the cover may be detachably attachable or hinged to any one of the walls of the container
