DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Before describing preferred and exemplary embodiments in greater detail, several introductory comments regarding the general applicability and scope of the invention may be helpful.

First, the following detailed description of preferred and exemplary embodiments is generally directed towards an enclosure, such as a storage enclosure. It will be appreciated that the storage enclosure may be used to temporarily and/or permanently store a variety of items, objects, devices and the like. The principles of the present invention, however, are not limited to storage enclosures. It will be understood that, in light of the present disclosure, the enclosures disclosed herein can have a variety of suitable shapes, sizes, configurations, arrangements and the like; and the enclosures can be used for a variety of functions, purposes, uses and the like.

Second, the enclosures discussed in more detail below and shown in the accompanying figures are illustrated in connection with exemplary and preferred embodiments of a shed. It will be appreciated that the shed can have a wide variety of suitable arrangements and configurations. It will also be appreciated that the enclosure does not have to be a shed and the enclosures can be other types of structures, such as storage devices, units, boxes, bins, containers, organizers and the like. In addition, the size and dimensions of the shed and its various components can be varied depending, for example, upon the intended use and/or desired purpose of the shed.

Third, the particular materials used to construct preferred and exemplary embodiments of the shed are illustrative. For example, as discussed in greater detail below, blow-molded plastic is preferably used to construct various portions of the shed, such as floor panels, wall panels, door panels and/or roof panels. It will be understood, however, that other materials can be used such as thermoplastics, resins, polymers, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyurethane, nylon, composites and the like. It will also be understood that other suitable processes may be used, such as extrusion molding, injection molding, vacuum molding, rotational molding and the like. Further, it will be understood that these and other components of the shed can be made from other materials such as metal (including steel, aluminum, etc.), wood and the like.

Further, to assist in the description of the shed, words such as upper, lower, top, bottom, front, back, right and left may be used to describe the accompanying figures. It will be appreciated, however, that the shed can be located in a variety of desired positions, angles and orientations. A detailed description of the shed now follows.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an exemplary shed 10 may include a front wall 12, a rear wall 14, a left sidewall 16 and a right sidewall 18. The shed 10 may also include a roof 20, a floor 22 and doors 24, 26. While the shed 10 and its components may be shown in the accompanying drawings as having a general size and configuration, it will be appreciated that the shed and its components may be larger, smaller or have other suitable shapes, sizes, configurations and arrangements.

The walls 12, 14, 16, 18; the roof 20; the floor 22 and/or the doors 24, 26 are preferably constructed from lightweight materials such as plastic. For example, these and/or other components of the shed 10 may be constructed from blow-molded plastic. Advantageously, the blow-molded plastic components may be strong, lightweight, rigid and sturdy. In addition, the blow-molded plastic components may be quickly and easily manufactured. The blow-molded plastic components may include hollow interior portions that are formed during the blow-molding process, which may allow lightweight components to be manufactured. Advantageously, this may allow the shed 10 to have significantly lighter weight than conventional sheds constructed from wood or metal. In addition, constructing the shed 10 from blow-molded plastic may allow the shed to be constructed from less plastic, which may save manufacturing costs and reduce consumer costs. The blow-molded plastic may also include ultraviolet (UV) inhibitors that help prevent the plastic from deteriorating when exposed to sunlight.

The shed 10 may also be constructed from blow-molded plastic because this may allow the shed to be economically manufactured. In addition, the blow-molded plastic may allow the shed 10 to be readily produced because, among other reasons, the blow-molded plastic components may be quickly manufactured and may be created with a variety of suitable shapes, sizes, designs and/or colors depending, for example, upon the intended use of the shed. Further, the blow-molded plastic components may be durable, weather resistant, generally temperature insensitive, corrosion resistant, rust resistant and generally do not deteriorate over time. Thus, the blow-molded plastic may allow a long-lasting and durable shed 10 to be constructed.

The blow-molded plastic components of the shed 10 may also include one or more depressions, indentations or the like, and these depressions may be sized and configured to increase the strength and/or rigidity of the components. These depressions, which may also be known as “tack-offs,” preferably cover at least a substantial portion of the components and the depressions may be arranged into a predetermined pattern. The depressions, for example, may be formed in one surface and extend towards an opposing surface. The ends of the depressions may contact or engage the opposing surface and/or the ends of the depressions may be spaced apart from the opposing surface. Advantageously, the depressions may help support the opposing surface and/or increase the structural integrity of the component. In addition, the depressions may be closely spaced in order to increase the strength and/or structural integrity of the component. Further, the depressions may be spaced or positioned into a generally regular or constant pattern so that the component has generally consistent properties. It will be appreciated that the depressions may have a variety of suitable configurations and arrangements. For instance, additional information regarding other suitable configurations and arrangements of the depressions is disclosed in Assignee's U.S. Pat. No. 7,069,865, entitled HIGH STRENGTH, LIGHT WEIGHT BLOW-MOLDED PLASTIC STRUCTURES, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

It will be appreciated that the depressions are not required. It will also be appreciated that the components do not have to be constructed from blow-molded plastic and other suitable plastics, materials and/or processes can be used to construct various components depending, for example, upon the intended use of the shed 10. Thus, some or all of the components could also be constructed from other materials with suitable characteristics, such as wood, metal and other types of plastic. Additionally, some or all of the components could be constructed from injection molded plastic, extrusion molded plastic and the like.

As shown in FIGS. 2-4, the doors 24, 26 may be opened to provide an entrance or opening that is large enough to allow cars, trailers and the like to enter the shed 10. In addition, the doors 24, 26 may extend along all or at least a portion of a wall, side, end, width or length of the shed 10. For example, as best seen in FIG. 4, the shed 10 may include an opening with a width w that is between about 105 inches and about 110 inches (267 centimeters to 279 centimeters) and the doors 24, 26 may be opened or closed as desired to provide access to the interior of the shed 10. Preferably, the opening has a width w of about 108 centimeters (274 centimeters) The opening could also be smaller, such as a width w that is about 95 inches (241 centimeters), about 100 inches (254 centimeters), about 105 inches (267 centimeters) or less. On the other hand, the opening could be larger, such as about 115 inches (292 centimeters), about 120 inches (305 centimeters) or more. Of course, the opening could be larger or smaller depending, for example, upon the size of the item to be placed within the shed 10 and/or the size of the shed. In addition, while the doors 24, 26 preferably completely close the opening when the doors are closed, the doors may only close a portion of the opening.

The shed 10 preferably includes different types of doors in connection with an opening. For example, the shed 10 may include a bi-fold door 24 and a regular door 26 in connection with the same opening or entrance to the shed. Advantageously, the different types of doors 24, 26 may allow the shed 10 to include a large opening. In addition, by using a combination of different types of doors, the doors may be easy to open, close and/or manipulate. It will be appreciated that the shed 10 may include any suitable number and type of doors. For example, the shed 10 may include one or more foldable doors (such as, bi-fold doors, tri-fold doors, accordion-type doors and the like) and/or one or more regular doors.

As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the bi-fold door 24 may include panels 28, 30 and the regular door 26 may include a panel 32. Advantageously, the combination of the bi-fold door 24 and the regular door 26 may create the appearance of three regular doors with a generally consistent size and shape. This may also allow the doors 24, 26 to be easily opened and closed because the panels 28, 30, 32 may have generally the same size and shape. It will be appreciated that the shed 10 may include any suitable combination of doors 24, 26 and panels 28, 30, 32 depending, for example, upon the intended use of the shed 10.

To help provide the large entrance or opening, the panels 28, 30 of the door 24 may move between an unfolded or closed position in which the panels are generally aligned in the same plane as shown in FIGS. 1-2, and a folded or opened position as shown in FIG. 4. In addition, the door 26 may move between a closed position in which the panels 28, 30, 32 are aligned in generally the same plane as shown in FIGS. 1-2, and an opened position as shown in FIG. 4.

The front surfaces of the panels 28, 30 may face generally away from each other when in the folded or opened position (for example, as shown in FIG. 4) and may be generally aligned when in the unfolded or closed position (for example, as shown in FIGS. 1-2). The rear surfaces of the panels 28, 30 may similarly face generally towards each other when in the folded or opened position and may be generally aligned when in the unfolded or closed position.

To facilitate their movement, the doors 24, 26 and/or the panels 28, 30, 32 may be connected to each other and/or other portions of the shed 10. For instance, the panel 32 of the door 26 may connected to the floor 22 and a gable 34, which may allow the door to swing between the open and closed positions. Also, the panel 28 of the door 24 may be connected to the floor 22 and the gable 34. The panel 30 of the door 24 may be connected to the panel 28 to form a bi-fold door. For example, the panel 30 may be movably connected to the panel 28 to form the bi-fold door. In addition, the panel 30 of the door 24 may be connected to the floor 22 and the gable 34. The panel 30, however, does not have to be connected to either the floor 22 or the gable 34. While the doors 24, 26 and/or the panels 28, 30, 32 are preferably connected to the floor 22 and the gable 34, these components may only be connected to the floor or the gable, as desired. In addition, the doors 24, 26 and/or the panels 28, 30, 32 may be connected to other portions of the shed 10, such as the sidewalls or end walls, if desired.

The doors 24, 26 and the respective panels 28, 30, 32 may be connected to each other and/or other portions of the shed 10 using one or more connectors, hinges, tracks, carriages, frames, braces, posts and the like. For instance, in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 5-6, a roller carriage 36 may be coupled to a track 38, which is preferably connected to the gable 34. The panel 30 of the door 24 may be connected to the carriage 36. In particular, the panel 30 may be connected to a connecting member 40 that is connected to the roller carriage 36 by a fastener 42. As shown in the accompanying figures, the panel 30 may be connected to the connecting member 40 by a bracket 44 and fasteners 46, 48. The roller carriage 36 may facilitate movement of the door 24 and the panels 28, 30. In particular, as the door 24 is moved between the open and closed positions, the connecting member 40 may pivot relative to the roller carriage 36 and the roller carriage may roll along the track 38. As discussed above, the door 24 may be connected to the shed 10 in a variety of suitable configurations and arrangements. Thus, for example, while a single roller carriage 36 may be shown in the accompanying figures, two or more roller carriages may used, if desired. Other types of structures may also be used to connect the doors 24, 26 and/or the panels 28, 30, 32 to the shed 10.

For example, in the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 7-8, a slider carriage 50 may be coupled to the track 38 and the panel 30 of the door 24 may be connected to the carriage. In addition, the panel 30 may include or be connected to a positioning member 52 that is coupled to a track 54, which may be connected to or disposed in the floor 22. In greater detail, the panel 30 may be connected to the slider carriage 50 by a connecting member 56 and the panel may be connected to the positioning member 52 by a connecting member 58. The panel 30 may be connected to the connecting members 56, 58 using one or more brackets, fasteners and the like. As the door 24 is moved between the open and closed positions, the connecting members 56, 58 may respectively pivot relative to the slider carriage 50 and the positioning member 52, which may slide along the tracks 38, 54, respectively.

The shed 10 may also include a frame 55 and the doors 24, 26 may be connected to the frame. For example, the doors 24, 26 may be pivotally connected to the frame 55 by hinges and/or the doors may move along or relative to the frame by, for instance, sliding. The frame 55 is preferably sized and configured to add stability and/or rigidity to the shed, which may desirably help support the doors 24, 26 as they move between open and closed positions. In further detail, the frame 55 may include or be connected to the track 38. The frame 55 may also include corner posts 57 and braces 59 that may be connected to the track 38. Additionally, the braces 59 may be connected to the corner posts 57. Desirably, the corner posts 57 are relatively small, which may increase the size of the width w of the opening. The braces 59 preferably have a generally L-shaped configuration, but the braces may have other suitable shapes and configurations. The frame 55 and its components are preferably constructed from a strong and/or rigid material, such as metal. It will be appreciated, however, that the frame 55 and its components may be constructed from other materials having other suitable characteristics. It will also be appreciated that the frame 55 may include a variety of other suitable components and the frame may have a variety of suitable shapes, sizes, configurations and arrangements depending, for example, upon the size and configuration of the opening or shed 10.

The panels 28, 30, 32 of the doors 24, 26 are preferably constructed from blow-molded plastic and may include hollow interior portions and/or depressions, as discussed above. If desired, the shed 10 may include reinforcements that may be sized and configured to increase the strength and/or rigidity of various portions of the shed, such as the blow-molded plastic panels 28, 30, 32. For example, the shed 10 may include one or more reinforcing members 60 that have different capabilities or characteristics than the panels 28, 30, 32. For instance, the reinforcing members 60 may have different strength, resilience, compression and/or tension capabilities than the panels 28, 30, 32, which may allow the panels to be reinforced. Advantageously, the reinforced panels may have greater strength, rigidity, impact resistance, resilience and/or ability to prevent deformation.

In greater detail, as seen in FIGS. 9-11, the door panels 28, 30, 32 may be constructed from blow-molded plastic and may include one or more reinforcing members 60. It will be appreciated that other portions of the shed 10, such as the walls, roof and floor, may also be reinforced by one or more reinforcing members 60. As shown in the accompanying figures, the reinforcing members 60 are preferably at least partially disposed within receiving portions 62 and the receiving portions may be integrally formed during the blow-molding process. The reinforcing members 60 preferably have different characteristics and properties than the blow-molded plastic components and structures. Additionally, the reinforcing members 60 may be sized and configured to increase the strength and/or rigidity of the blow-molded plastic components. While the reinforcing members 60 are preferably constructed from metal, other suitable materials may also be used.

As shown in FIG. 11, the receiving portion 62 may include one or more projections 64. The projections 64 may be sized and configured to contact, abut and/or engage the reinforcing member 60 and the projections may help position the reinforcing member in a desired position. For instance, as shown in FIG. 11, the reinforcing member 60 may have an elongated body with a first flange 66, a second flange 68 and an intermediate portion 70 arranged in a generally U-shaped configuration. The projections 64 may include first, second and third portions 72, 74, 76, respectively, that may contact, abut and/or engage the first flange 66, the second flange 68 and the intermediate portion 70. The projections 64 are preferably integrally formed during the blow-molding process, but the projections do not have to be integrally formed.

The reinforcing members 60 may include openings 78 to facilitate connecting the reinforcing members to the receiving portions 62. In addition, the projections 64 may include fastener bosses 80 that are sized and configured to receive a portion of the fasteners, which may facilitate connection of the reinforcing member 60 to the projections. It will be appreciated, however, that the reinforcing members 60 may be connected to the receiving portions 62, the projections 64 and/or other portions of the shed 10 using other types of fasteners; a snap, friction and/or interference fit; adhesives and other suitable means.

As shown in FIGS. 9-10, the intermediate portion 70 of the reinforcing member 60 may be generally aligned in the same plane with a generally flat exterior portion 80 of the blow-molded panel. The intermediate portion 70 of the reinforcing member 60, however, may be spaced apart from and/or generally parallel to the panel's exterior portion 80, if desired. For instance, the intermediate portion 70 of the reinforcing member 60 may be at least partially spaced inwardly from the panel's exterior portion 80. On the other hand, the intermediate portion 70 of the reinforcing member 60 may be at least partially spaced outwardly from the panel's exterior portion 80.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the reinforcing members 60 and the receiving portions 62 may have an elongated shape that may extend laterally in a direction from one edge towards a second edge. The reinforcing members 60 and/or the receiving portions 62 may extend at least thirty percent, forty percent, fifty percent, sixty percent, seventy percent or more of the distance between the edges, if desired. The reinforcing members 60 could also extend completely or substantially the distance between the edges, if desired.

As shown in FIG. 9, the doors 24, 26 and/or the panels 28, 30, 32 may include multiple reinforcing members 60. For example, a first reinforcing member may be disposed proximate an upper portion, a second reinforcing member may be disposed proximate a middle portion and a third reinforcing portion may be disposed proximate a lower portion of the doors 24, 26 and/or panels 28, 30, 32. The reinforcing members 60 could also be disposed along other portions of the shed 10 and the reinforcing members could be disposed at various angles, positions, orientations and directions. In addition, the reinforcing members 60 and/or receiving portions 62 could have other suitable shapes, sizes, configurations and arrangements depending, for example, the size and intended use of the shed 10.

In addition, the doors 24, 26 and the panels 28, 3032 may include a front face, a rear face and a peripheral edge. The receiving portions 62 may be formed in at least one of the faces and may be spaced apart from the peripheral edge, if desired. The receiving portions 62 may also be disposed at other angles, positions, orientations and directions depending, for example, upon the size and configuration of the reinforcing members 60 and/or the intended use of the shed 10. It will be appreciated that doors 24, 26 and/or the panels 28, 30, 32 do not require any reinforcing members 60 and/or receiving portions 62.

As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the doors 24, 26 may have an attractive and aesthetically pleasing appearance. For example, the doors 24, 26 could match the other portions of the shed 10 or the doors may contrast with other portions of the shed. In addition, the doors 24, 26 may be used to create a carriage type door, but the doors could have any suitable look, design, style and/or arrangement.

Additionally, the doors 24, 26 could be secured in the opened and/or closed positions by, for example, locks, dead-bolts and/or latches. In addition, as mentioned above, the doors 24, 26 could have other suitable configurations and arrangements. For example, the doors 24, 26 may open vertically, horizontally or a combination of vertically and horizontally. The doors 24, 26 could also be removable and connected to the shed 10 in other suitable manners or configurations. Further, the doors 24, 26 could open inwardly and/or outwardly, as desired. Significantly, the doors 24, 26 may help protect the contents of the shed 10 and may help create a weather-tight enclosure. The doors 24, 26, however, could also include openings, vents, windows and the like, if desired.

The shed 10 may also include other suitable features and structures, such as disclosed in Assignee's U.S. Pat. No. 7,210,277, entitled PARTITION SYSTEM, or Assignee's co-pending U.S. patent application Ser.
