Embodiment Construction

[0035] The present embodiments comprise a kit of parts for construction into a storage system. The parts are substantially flat for easy packaging and storage, and yet are designed so that when constructed they provide a storage system in three dimensions having a stable center of gravity. A preferred embodiment has wheels or castors attached to the base to provide a storage trolley system.

[0036] The principles and operation of a storage system according to the present invention may be better understood with reference to the drawings and accompanying description.

[0037] Before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments or of being practiced or carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that...

Abstract

A self-assembly storage system or a kit of parts for construction thereof comprises: a base portion, a stem portion, storage units extending forwardly from the stem portion, the base portion comprising two fire elements connected via a linking element, the extended frame elements comprising curved extensions extending from the base portion for fixing the stem portion in linear continuity therewith. Hence the stem portion is substantially offset from the base portion to locate the storage units over a center of gravity defined by the base. The storage system is substantially stable, and the base portion and the stem portion comprise substantially two-dimensional components, allowing for flat packaging of the kit for easy storage and transport.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 601,626, filed on Aug. 16, 2004, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to a self-assembly or DIY storage system and, more particularly, but not exclusively to a storage trolley useful in a kitchen or office or like environment. [0003] DIY storage units are known, as are DIY storage trolleys. DIY units are typically provided as kits of part assembled pieces. Generally in DIY systems the part assembly of the pieces is chosen so that the kit can be provided to the user in as easy to handle a package as possible, at the same time attempting not to leave the consumer with too onerous a construction task in order to make the final product. [0004] The pieces of a DIY system are thus generally designed to be as one- or two-dimensional as possible without compromising on the mechanic...
