In another embodiment first and second coupling walls 30 are configured to collectively engage a single cleat 14 and second and third coupling walls 30 are configured to collectively engage a second cleat 14.
In another embodiment a single cleat 14 is configured to collectively engage first and second coupling walls 30, a second cleat 14 is configured to collectively engage second and third coupling walls 30, a third cleat 14 is configured to collectively engage fourth and fifth coupling walls 30, and a fourth cleat 14 is configured to collectively engage fifth and sixth coupling walls 30.
Sliding lock 84 comprises a spring that biases sliding lock 84 towards rail 82 (from the perspective of
At bottom surface 94 of storage container 8, cleat 90 comprises body 108 and overhang 92 extending from either end 96 of cleat 90. Overhang 92 comprises a semi-circular shape and extends over bottom surface 94. To lock storage containers 8, cleat 90 from top storage container 8 is placed through opening 110 into depression 100 into unlocked position 104. Then, top storage container 8 and bottom storage container 8 are rotated 90 degrees with respect to each other until cleat 90 is rotated into locked position 106. In locked position 106, end 96 of cleat 90 is disposed between top surface 98 and locking plate 102. It is contemplated herein that cleat 90 and opening 110 may have any shape as would be understood by those skilled in the art (e.g., rectangular, triangle, etc.). It is also contemplated herein that storage containers 8 are rotated more or less than 90 degrees to lock cleat 90 within locking plate 102 (e.g., 30 degrees, 45 degrees, etc.).
It is contemplated herein that wire 150 consists of any material that would provide sufficient strength to the coupling of storage containers 8 (e.g., plastic). It is also contemplated herein that wire 150 may be any shape beyond the two-sided shape depicted in
It is contemplated herein that a wall (e.g., back wall of a pickup truck) comprises receptacles 160 and/or cleats 170 that engage with cleats 170 or receptacles 160, respectively.
It is contemplated herein that a wall (e.g., back wall of a pickup truck) comprises receptacles 180 and/or cleats 190 that engage with cleats 190 or receptacles 180, respectively.
Bottom storage container 8 comprises receptacles 180, shown as channel 180, defined by wall 194 with ends 182. Top storage container 8 includes rail 186 with protrusions 188 extending laterally from rail 186. Button 196 is pressed causing protrusions 188 to retract towards rail 186, allowing rail 186 to be placed within channel 180. Button 196 is then released allowing protrusions 188 to laterally extend from rail 186 within channel 180. Bump 192 engages channel 180 at end 182 to interface channel wall 194
Rail 230 is pivotably engaged to top storage container 8. Rail 230 is rotated to selectively engage with receptacle 232 on bottom storage container 8.
Screw 250 rotates within cylinders 226, shown as tubular structures, which are affixed to either end of storage container 8 along the longitudinal axis of screw 250. A user engages lever 220 to rotate screw 250. To couple top storage container 8 and bottom storage container 240, top storage container 8 is placed above bottom storage container 240 and screw 250 is placed within threaded receptacle 270. After screw 250 is rotated (e.g., 90 degrees of rotation) then screw 250 is displaced within threaded receptacle 270 such that screw 250 can no longer be removed from threaded receptacle without counter-rotating screw 250 into the unlocked position.
In one embodiment, screw 250 and threaded receptacle 270 are locked by virtue of threaded receptacle 270 including multiple threaded apertures 244 that are angled (e.g., non-perpendicular, in this context) with respect to top surface 242 of bottom storage container 240. In the locking position, engagement screw 250 cannot be slid from threaded receptacle 270 because cylinder 226 of top storage container 8 interfaces against locking surface 246, thereby preventing lateral sliding of top storage container 8 with respect to bottom storage container 240.
Locking button 280 is spring-loaded so pivot-style locking lever 312 and wedge-style locking lever 314 are extended (best shown in
It is contemplated herein that frame 310 may comprise multiple frames 310 and locking buttons 280 (e.g., one per each row of retractable cleats 286). It is also contemplated herein that tool storage container 8 may comprises any combination of pivot-style levers 312, wedge-style levers 314, and male cleats 320, including without limitation all or none of any of lever 312, lever 314, and male cleat 320.
