Benefits of technology

[0004]The present invention relates to a storage device. The storage device includes a container having a first side wall, a second side wall, a bottom wall, and an indentation. The first and second side walls each have a guide track formed by pair of guide members with bases affixed to the side walls and ends spaced apart from the side walls. The bases are spaced apart from each other at a first distance and the ends are spaced apart from each other at a second distance that is less than the first distance. The storage device further includes a divider having a first end, a second end, a wall exte

Problems solved by technology

Any removable dividers used in such containers should be secure enough so that they do not unintentionally become dislodged because it could result in inventory problems that can be detrimental to a production line or the like.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts, there is shown in FIG. 1 a storage device according to an exemplary embodiment. The storage device includes a container 10, which includes left and right side walls 12, 14, a bottom wall 16, a front wall 18, and a back wall 20. As used in the present disclosure, directional terms such as front, back, top, bottom, left and right are used in exemplary fashion only, for clarity of the description of the preferred embodiments shown in the drawing figures, and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure, unless specifically stated.

[0017]The walls 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 are arranged to form an interior portion 22, the side walls 12, 14 being substantially parallel to each other and substantially perpendicular to the front 18 and back 20 walls. The size and shape of container 10 can vary with the intended use of the storage device. Such variances can include the overall volume of the interior portio...

Abstract

In one aspect, a storage device including a container has a first side wall, a second side wall, a bottom wall, and an indentation. The first and second side walls each have a pair of guide members forming a guide track. The storage device further includes a divider having a first end, a second end, a wall extending along a plane between the first and second ends, and a bump. The first and second ends each have a flange extending substantially perpendicular to the wall of the divider sized so as to fit within a corresponding one of the guide tracks. The divider is removeably insertable within the container such that the bump of the divider extends into the indentation of the container.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Containers are used in a wide variety of applications. In particular, industrial and retail applications require numerous containers to store and organize inventory including products and components. In a manufacturing application, the production of a single item may include, for example, the assembly of thousands of parts that are stored at various stations or locations along an assembly line. Similarly, in retail applications, particularly with respect to on-line or mail-order retailers, inventory may be stored in containers within a warehouse or other storage facility. In many applications, containers for parts and inventory are often stored in shelves, conveyors or carousels, which can be used to move the containers and allow a single user to have access to a high number of containers without moving from a station. Often, a single container is divided into separate compartments in order to hold different parts or products.[0002]Due to changes in ...
