Abstract:
1. A storage volume comprising a substantially cubical housing defining an interior space, said housing comprises a bottom wall, a top wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, a rear wall, and a front wall, each wall with a substantially square contour, whereby at least the front wall is provided with an opening providing access to the interior space which is defined by said walls, and whereby at least the side walls are provided with coupling means on outward facing sides thereof, whereby said coupling means allow two of said storage volumes to be coupled, either with both front walls in the same plane, or with the front wall of one of the storage volumes in the same plane as the rear wall of the second storage volume, whereby the coupling means provided on the side walls are positioned symmetrically in relation to a first vertical median plane which is parallel to the front wall and the rear wall and situated substantially in the middle between the front wall and the rear wall, wherein the coupling means on the side walls consist of complementary first studs and first sleeves, and whereby the first studs and the first sleeves are positioned at corners of a first imaginary square which is provided in the middle of each side wall, whereby two first studs occupy diagonal or non-adjacent corners of the first imaginary square, whereby two first sleeves occupy diagonal or non-adjacent corners of the first imaginary square; wherein the bottom wall and the top wall are provided with coupling means; wherein the coupling means provided on the bottom wall are complementary to the coupling means provided on the top wall; wherein the coupling means on the bottom wall and the coupling means on the top wall are symmetrically positioned in relation to a second vertical median plane which is situated parallel to, and in between the left side wall and the right side wall; wherein the coupling means provided on the bottom wall include third sleeves, wherein the coupling means provided on the top wall comprise two second studs and two second sleeves, positioned at corners of a second imaginary square which is provided substantially in the middle of the top wall, whereby the two second studs occupy diagonal or non-adjacent corners of the second imaginary square, whereby the two second sleeves occupy diagonal or non-adjacent corners of the second imaginary square, and whereby at least one of an outer dimension of the second studs, an inner dimension of the second sleeves, and mutual positioning of the second studs and the second sleeves deviate to a limited extent from a corresponding first outer dimension of the first studs, a corresponding first inner dimension of the first sleeves, and a corresponding first mutual positioning of the first studs and the first sleeves, respectively, such that a visual similarity between the top wall and the side walls is obtained, but coupling of the top wall of a first storage volume to a side wall of a second storage volume using the studs and the sleeves is prevented; and wherein the outer dimension of the two second studs provided on the top wall corresponds to the first outer dimension of the first studs provided on the side walls, the inner dimension of the second sleeves on the top wall is smaller than the first inner dimension of the first sleeves provided on the side walls, an outer dimension of the second sleeves on the top wall substantially corresponds to the first outer dimension of the first studs provided on the side walls, and the third sleeves on the bottom wall have an inner dimension which corresponds to the first inner dimension of the first sleeves provided on the side walls.
