Moveable Storage Container for Storing Vehicles

Abstract

A moveable storage container for vehicular storage on a planar support surface, comprised of a top formed by a sloped roof connected to an angled connection wall at one end, a handle wall, and a pair of side walls, all walls connected to the sloped roof. The connection of the sloped roof section and the angled connection wall forms a first angle of about 90 degrees at a proximal end of the angled connection wall, and at a distal end, a second angle formed by the angled connection wall hingeably connected to a base resting in the horizontal plane rises about 45 degrees from the planar support surface. The angled connection wall is weighted. The storage container is opened by lifting the handle wall, rotating the angled connection wall downwards until it rests on the planar support surface, the top position maintained by the weighted angled connection wall.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]A movable storage container suitable for temporary or permanent storage of small vehicles, featuring an angled hinged lid or top portion covering a base, an interior storage area formed when the top rests on the base, the lid featuring an angled connection wall counterweighted to assist in lifting the lid and supporting the lid in an open position.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Storage of motorcycles and other small vehicles is often problematic. Since motorcycles, riding lawn mowers, golf carts, and other small vehicles are seasonally used, storage in a garage is often inconvenient as the stored vehicles get in the way of cars, etc. and are prone to being bumped or damaged. Many owners turn to commercial sheds and other large permanent structures to house their smaller seasonal vehicles, however this option is expensive and only possible on larger properties. Renters and people living in urban areas often do not even have a garage, and are forced to park thei...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent is for a storage container that can be easily moved and positioned. It has a unique roof section and three vertical side walls connected at an angle, with a handle on one of the side walls. The container is locked onto a base when in storage mode and can be easily moved and positioned by grasping the handle and lifting it. The base may have wheels and the container can also have spike-based attachment means. The technical effects are improved storage and access in a compact space, easy movement and positioning, and versatility for temporary or permanent installation.

Problems solved by technology

Storage of motorcycles and other small vehicles is often problematic.

Since motorcycles, riding lawn mowers, golf carts, and other small vehicles are seasonally used, storage in a garage is often inconvenient as the stored vehicles get in the way of cars, etc. and are prone to being bumped or damaged.

Many owners turn to commercial sheds and other large permanent structures to house their smaller seasonal vehicles, however this option is expensive and only possible on larger properties.

Renters and people living in urban areas often do not even have a garage, and are forced to park their motorcycles on the side of the road where they are then subject to the elements, theft, damage, etc. or pay fees to store their motorcycles in commercial storage units, often located in inconvenient locations.
