Embodiment Construction

[0046]Various aspects of the present disclosure include a dual chamber storage device that includes two reversibly sealable containers. The tops of the two containers are joined by a hinge in one aspect such that the two containers may assume a folded configuration in which one container is inverted such that the top of the one container rests upon the top of the other container. The two containers may also be rotated away from each other and rest side by side upon a planar surface such as a table in an opened configuration. The dual chamber storage device may further include a handle to conveniently carry the dual chamber storage device in the folded configuration, as well as a latch to hold the containers in the folded configuration during transportation and / or storage.

[0047]The containers may each include reversibly sealable lids that may be unsealed to access the contents of each container as needed when the device is in an opened configuration. For example, the one container ma...
