PRIORITY CLAIM
[0001] The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62/014,255, filed on June 19. 2014, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The present invention is a container and, more particularly, a storage and/or display system.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
[0003] Fig. 1 shows a front perspective view of an embodiment of a storage and/or display system provided by the present disclosure.
[0004] Fig. 2 shows a side perspective view of an embodiment of a storage and/or display system provided by the present disclosure.
[0005] Fig. 3 shows a front perspective view of an embodiment of a storage and/or display system provided by the present disclosure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0006] Referring now to Figs. 1-3, there is one non-limiting embodiment of the storage and/or display system 10 in accordance with the present invention. Figs. 1-3 illustrate the storage and/or display system 10 having two storage bins 11,12; however, it can be appreciated that the storage and/or display system 10 can have more storage bins than the two storage bins 1 3 ,12. The height and width of the storage and/or display system 10 are non-limiting. The materials used to form the storage and/or display system 10 are non-limiting.
[0007] The front bases 23 ,31 of the storage and/or display system 10 is illustrated as being wider than the tops 22,32 of the storage and/or display system 10 so as to provide additional stability to the storage and/or displa system 10; however, this is not required. The faces 13,34 of the bins 1 1.12 is arcuate or curved; however, this is not required. The front edges 23,33 of the storage and/or display system 10 can optionally include protection strips or guards 24,34 to inhibit or prevent damage to the storage and/or display system. 10; however, this is not required. The protection strips or guards 24,34 can be made of a durable material such as wood, metal, plastic, rubber, etc. The protection strips or guards 24,34 can be connected to the front edges 23,33 by various means (e.g., adhesive, rivets, screws, bolts, snap connection, slot fit connection, etc). One or both sides 25,35 of the storage and/or display system 10 can optionally include a protective panel 26 to inhibit or prevent damage to the storage and/or display system 10; however, this is not required. The protective panel 26 can be made of a durable material such as wood, metal, plastic, rubber, etc. The protective panel 26 can be connected to the side by various means (e.g., adhesive, rivets, screws, bolts, snap connection, slot fit connection, etc.). The top edges 15,16 of the faces 13,14 of one or more of the bins 11,12 can include a protection strip or guard 17,18 . The protection strip or guard 17,1 8 can be made of a durable material such as wood, metal, plastic, rubber, etc. The protection strip or guard 17,18 can be connected to the top edges 15.16 by various means (e.g., adhesive, rivets, screws, bolts, snap connection, slot fit connection, etc.). The back face 40 of the one or more of the bins 1 1 ,12 can include a protection panel 41. The protection panel 41 can be made of a durable material such as wood, metal, plastic, rubber, etc. The protection panel 41 can be connected to the back face 40 by various means (e.g., adhesive, rivets, screws, bolts, snap connection, slot fit connection, etc.).
[0008] I will thus be seen t at the objects set forth above, among those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained, and since certain changes may be made in the constxuctions set forth without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description and shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. The invention has been described with reference to preferred and alternate embodiments. Modifications and alterations will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the detailed discussion of the invention provided herein, This invention is intended to include all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the present invention, it is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover ail of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described and all statements of the scope of the invention, which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween. The invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. These and other modifications of the preferred embodiments as well as other embodiments of the invention will be obvious from the disclosure herein, whereby the foregoing descriptive matter is to be interpreted merely as illustrative of the invention and not as a limitation. It is intended to include all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims.
