Abstract:
1. A container comprising: a base forming a plurality of pockets and having a bottom surface; a plurality of movable lower corner blocks, each said lower corner block including a bottom surface, each said pocket adapted to removably receive a respective lower corner block, each said lower corner block being selectively movable with respect to said base along a translational axis generally transverse to said base between a first position wherein said lower corner block is located at least partially within a pocket of said base and said bottom surface of said lower corner block is located a first distance from said bottom surface of said base and a second position wherein said lower corner block is located completely outside of its associated pocket and said bottom surface of said lower corner block is located a second distance from said bottom surface of said base, said second distance being greater than said first distance; and a plurality of adjustment mechanisms, each said adjustment mechanism associated with a respective lower corner block, each said adjustment mechanism adapted to selectively move its associated lower corner block between said first position and said second position of said lower corner block; whereby each said lower corner block is independently movable with respect to said other lower corner blocks to a position along its translational axis a selected distance from said bottom surface of said base, such that said base may be supported by said lower corner blocks in a desired orientation.
