Container with one or more tray retention portions and support stand
Containers with one or more tray retention portions and a support stand are described. For example, a container can include: a substantially hollow body including a plurality of body walls extending vertically from a bottom portion; an extension portion rotatably coupled to an outward-facing surface of a body wall among the plurality of body walls, the extension portion configured to rotate to an active position in which the extension portion extends outwardly from the body wall; and a support stand having a proximal end coupled to the outward-facing surface of the body wall and a distal end, the support stand configured to move between at least a stowed position in which the support stand is positioned against or proximate to the outward-facing surface of the body wall and a support position in which the support stand extends outwardly from the body wall.
1. A container comprising:
a substantially hollow body including a plurality of body walls extending vertically from a bottom portion;
a lid rotatably coupled to an upper portion of a body wall among the plurality of body walls, the lid configured to reversibly close an opening of the substantially hollow body formed by the plurality of body walls; and
an internal tray retention portion formed in an underside of the lid configured to removably retain a tray having a substantially flat, elongate surface, the internal tray retention portion including at least a first rail and a second rail respectively formed on opposite sides of a peripheral region of the underside of the lid, the first rail and the second rail formed so as to receive and retain the tray therein, wherein the internal tray retention portion further includes a third rail formed on the peripheral region of the underside of the lid, wherein the first rail and the second rail are connected via the third rail.
2. The container of claim 1 , wherein the internal tray retention portion further includes the third rail formed on the peripheral region of the underside of the lid perpendicular to the first rail and the second rail.
3. The container of claim 1 , wherein the internal tray retention portion further includes an elongate protrusion portion formed inside of the peripheral region of the underside of the lid perpendicular to the first rail and the second rail and parallel to the third rail.
4. The container of claim 3 , wherein a shape formed by the first rail, the second rail, the third rail, and the elongate protrusion portion substantially corresponds to a shape of the tray.
5. A container system comprising:
a substantially hollow body including a plurality of body walls extending vertically from a bottom portion;
a removable tray having a substantially flat, elongate surface;
a lid rotatably coupled to an upper portion of the plurality of body walls, the lid configured to reversibly close an opening of the substantially hollow body formed by the plurality of body walls;
a handle rotatably coupled to an outward-facing surface of a body wall among the plurality of body walls, the handle configured to rotate to an active position in which the handle extends outwardly from the body wall;
a support stand having a proximal end coupled to the outward-facing surface of the body wall and a distal end, the support stand configured to move between at least a stowed position in which the support stand is positioned against or proximate to the outward-facing surface of the body wall and a support position in which the support stand extends outwardly from the body wall and engages with an underside of the handle;
an internal tray retention portion formed in an underside of the lid configured to removably retain the removable tray; and
an external tray retention portion formed in an upper surface of the handle configured to removably retain the removable tray.
6. The container system of claim 5 , wherein, when the support stand is in the support position and the external tray retention portion retains the removable tray, the support stand provides support for the removable tray and the handle such that the support stand prevents downward rotation of the handle.
7. A container comprising:
a substantially hollow body including a plurality of body walls extending vertically from a bottom portion;
a lid rotatably coupled to an upper portion of a body wall among the plurality of body walls, the lid configured to reversibly close an opening of the substantially hollow body formed by the plurality of body walls; and
an internal tray retention portion formed in an underside of the lid configured to removably retain a tray having a substantially flat, elongate surface, the internal tray retention portion including at least a first rail and a second rail respectively formed on opposite sides of a peripheral region of the underside of the lid, the first rail and the second rail formed so as to receive and retain the tray therein, wherein the internal tray retention portion further includes a third rail formed on the peripheral region of the underside of the lid, wherein the first rail, the second rail, and the third rail are physically separate from each other.
