Field: Handling (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC A  B | IPC A  B

Claim 0:
1. A storage unit comprising:
a housing defining an internal compartment;
a pin extending from the housing, the pin defining a rotational axis;
a bottom surface defined by the housing, the bottom surface comprising coupling components that couple the bottom surface of the storage unit to a top surface of a second storage unit;
a lid pivotally coupled to the housing such that the lid is pivotable between a fully open position and a closed position covering the internal compartment;
a handle rotatably coupled to the housing via the pin, the handle rotating with respect to the housing about the rotational axis defined by the pin;
wherein the handle comprises a slot through which the pin extends, and the slot extends from a first end to a second end;
wherein, when the pin is located at the first end of the slot, a distal end of the handle opposite the slot interfaces against an upper surface of the lid when the lid is in the closed position such that the handle interferes with the lid pivoting from the closed position to the fully open position; and
wherein, when the pin is located at the second end of the slot, the distal end of the handle extends past a rear of the lid such that the handle does not interface against the upper surface of the lid when the lid is in the closed position such that the handle does not interfere with the lid pivoting from the closed position.
