Benefits of technology
"The invention provides a method for storing identical prismatic objects in a compact way by placing them in an open top container in an up-right, side-by-side relationship. Each object is placed at an acute angle with respect to the adjacent objects, allowing for easy retrieval. Additionally, the invention provides a container with a bottom that has means to stagger each object in opposite directions, allowing for even more efficient storage."
Problems solved by technology
Because there is no room left between the objects it is quite difficult to unload the container manually, at least with respect to the first-in-line object of each row.
One obvious way for overcoming this drawback of the conventional storage method would have been to put spacers between the objects; however, this would cost expensive shipment and / or storage space.

Embodiment Construction
[0016]The principles of the invention are vividly represented in FIG. 3. Hence, the container B is again filled with the objects A in a compact side-by-side array.
[0017]However, the objects do not overlap each other, but each placed so that it forms an acute angle relative to the horizontal, and the angle of one object is opposite to that of the neighboring objects. Consequently, one corner portion of all objects projects upwards, in a staggered order and is thus exposed and readily accessible for gripping by a hand and retrieved.
[0018]The attainment of placing the objects A in the above described pattern can be achieved in many ways. Hence, as seen in FIG. 4, bottom wall C of the container B is provided with a plurality of projections D. The projections: are arranged in two pairs of rows R1 and R2, and R3 and R4. Row R1 is located near one side wall of the container and row R2 extends at a distance less than the length of the object A. Furthermore, the projections D of row R1 are d...

A method of storing a plurality of objects being of an identical prismatic shape and stored within an open top storage container in an up-right, compact side-by-side relationship. Each object is placed forming an acute angle with respect to both adjacent objects, so that one corner portion thereof projects from between the adjacent objects and hence is easily accessible for retrieval from the container. The container has a bottom, side-walls and an open top for storing objects having an identical prismatic shape. The bottom of the container is formed so as to staggerly recline each object in relative opposite directions.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Oblong, rectangular prismatic shaped objects, such as laptop computers, attaché cases, suitcases and the like, as schematically represented in FIG. 1 denoted A, are currently stored, for shipment or other purposes, in open top containers or receptacles. The containers (denoted B in FIG. 2, placed on a transportation pallet) are shaped and sized to contain one or more rows of, say, 10 items each. The objects stand in up-right compact side-by-side position, as shown.[0002]Because there is no room left between the objects it is quite difficult to unload the container manually, at least with respect to the first-in-line object of each row.[0003]One obvious way for overcoming this drawback of the conventional storage method would have been to put spacers between the objects; however, this would cost expensive shipment and / or storage space.[0004]It is therefore the prime object of the present invention to improve the conventional storage / transportation met...
