SYSTEMS FOR CONTAINING AND STORING MATERIALS

1 . A container enclosing system comprising:

an inner container enabled to store a plurality of materials;

a first exterior panel in communication with the inner container;

a second exterior panel in communication with the inner container; and

an access mechanism enabled to move the first exterior panel and the second exterior panel from a closed position to an open position located a predetermined distance from the center vertical axis of the inner container.

2 . The container enclosing system of claim 1 , further comprising a third exterior panel in communication with the inner container, wherein the access mechanism is further enabled to move the third exterior panel from a closed position to an open position located a predetermined distance from the center vertical access of the inner container.

3 . The container enclosing system of claim 1 , wherein the access mechanism includes a spring element.

4 . The container enclosing system of claim 3 , wherein the spring element can be provided in communication with at least one pedal.

5 . The container enclosing system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one pedal can be pressed to activate the access mechanism and compress the spring element.

6 . The container enclosing system of claim 5 , wherein the spring element is in compressed state when the first exterior panel and the second exterior panel are in an open position.

7 . The container enclosing system of claim 6 , wherein at least one pedal can be pressed to release and extend the spring element and return the first exterior panel and the second exterior panel to the closed position.

8 . The container enclosing system of claim 1 , wherein the access mechanism can include a step ring, wherein the step ring can be depressed to move the first exterior panel and the second exterior panel from the closed position to the open position.

9 . The container enclosing system of claim 1 , wherein inner container has a volume equal to or greater than five liters.

10 . A container system comprising:

an inner container enabled to store a plurality of materials;

a first exterior panel in communication with the inner container having a first pivot member at the bottom of the first exterior panel;

a second exterior panel in communication with the inner container having a second pivot member at the bottom of the second exterior panel; and

wherein the first pivot member and the second pivot member are proximate a lower portion of the inner container.

11 . The container system of claim 10 , further comprising a third exterior panel in communication with the inner container having a third pivot member, wherein the third pivot member is proximate the lower portion of the inner container.

12 . The container system of claim 10 , wherein the first exterior panel can pivot about the first pivot member such that the first exterior panel moves from a closed position to an open position a predetermined distance from the center vertical axis of the inner container.

13 . The container system of claim 12 , wherein the second exterior panel can pivot about the second pivot member such that the second exterior panel moves from a closed position to an open position a predetermined distance from the center vertical axis of the inner container.

14 . The container system of claim 10 , further comprising an access mechanism.

15 . The container system of claim 14 , wherein the access mechanism includes a spring element.

16 . The container system of claim 15 , wherein spring element can enable the pivoting of the first exterior panel and second exterior panel.

17 . A tool storage system comprising:

a storage device enabled to removably receive at least one tool, the storage device having a first exterior panel and a second exterior panel;

wherein the first exterior panel and the second exterior panel are enabled to be moved from a closed position to an open position to permit insertion or removal of the at least one tool; and

wherein the at least one tool is held at a predetermined orientation by the storage device.

18 . The tool storage system of claim 17 , further comprising a third exterior panel and wherein the second exterior panel and the third exterior panel are enabled to move from a closed position to an open position to permit insertion and removal of the at least one tool.

19 . The tool storage system of claim 17 , wherein the predetermined orientation is substantially vertical.

20 . The tool storage system of claim 17 , wherein shape of the first exterior panel and the second exterior panel resembles a lotus flower.
