Abstract:
A container and caddy system is disclosed herein. The container and caddy system includes a storage container and a caddy for supporting and transporting the storage container. The storage container has a receptacle, a lid, and one or more hinges. The hinges connect the lid to the receptacle, enabling easy access to the interior of the receptacle. The caddy has a frame dimensioned to accept the storage container, four wheels able to roll the caddy along the ground, and two or more lift members. The lift members are divided into first and second lift member assemblies. These mechanically connect the wheels to the frame and are connected to each other by a hinge pin which causes the first and second lift member assemblies to move in a scissoring action to raise or lower the frame relative to the wheels.

Claim (Index 17):
A storage container and raisable caddy system comprising:\n a storage container having\n a storage receptacle, \n a storage lid, \n at least one hinge pivotably connecting the storage lid to the storage receptacle, such that when the storage lid is in a closed condition, the storage lid and the storage receptacle in combination enclose an interior space; and \n a caddy having\n a container frame able to accept and support the storage container, \n four wheels, and \n at least two lift members, each of the at least two lift members corresponding to one or more of the four wheels, each of the at least two lift members mechanically connecting the corresponding ones of the four wheels to the container frame, the at least two lift members comprising\n a first lift-member assembly, \n a second lift-member assembly, and \n a pair of hinge pins coupling the first lift-member assembly to the second lift-member assembly, such that the first lift-member assembly and the second lift-member assembly are able to pivot relative to each other in a scissoring fashion; \n \n wherein the pair of hinge pins centrally bisect each of the first lift-member assembly and the second lift-member assembly; further comprising a wheel frame mechanically connecting the four wheels to each other, the wheel frame being substantially rectangular; wherein each of the first lift-member assembly and the second lift-member assembly are hingedly coupled to the wheel frame; wherein the container frame comprises at least one slide and each of the at least two lift members further comprise at least one yoke, wherein each of the at least one yoke are dimensioned to circumscribe and slide upon the at least one slide, thereby enabling the first lift-member assembly to pivot relative to the second lift-member assembly, such that when the first lift-member assembly and the second lift-member assembly together pivot, the container frame is either raised or lowered; further comprising an electric drive able to raise and lower the container frame relative to the four wheels; further comprising a rechargeable battery electrically coupled to the electric drive, such that the rechargeable battery may provide power to the electric drive; wherein the electric drive is mechanically coupled to one of the at least two lift members, the electric drive being configured to raise and lower the container frame relative to the four wheels by scissoring the first lift-member assembly and the second lift-member assembly; wherein the container frame comprises a rectangular chassis, a left guide rail, and a right guide rail, the rectangular chassis having a chassis length and a chassis width each sufficiently large to support the storage container, the left guide rail mirroring the right guide rail across the rectangular chassis, the left guide rail and the right guide rail each being affixed rigidly and perpendicularly to the rectangular chassis such that the left guide rail and the right guide rail each stand upright, the left guide rail and the right guide rail being spaced wide enough to surround the storage container on opposite sides of the storage container when the storage container is placed upon the rectangular chassis; wherein the storage container further comprises a leg chassis, the leg chassis being hingedly attached to the storage receptacle of the container and alternatively to the storage lid of the storage container, the leg chassis including\n a rectangular leg receptacle defining a leg chassis interior; \n a leg chassis lid hingedly attached to the leg receptacle; \n a bottom surface integral to the leg receptacle and disposed opposite to the leg chassis lid; and \n at least one deployable table leg hingedly attached interior to the leg receptacle; \n wherein the storage lid is integral to the leg chassis; wherein the leg chassis is hingedly mounted to the storage receptacle of the storage container and alternatively to the storage lid of the storage container enabling one-hundred-and-eighty degrees of travel, such that the bottom surface of the leg chassis may be rotated to an inverted position adjacent to the storage lid of the storage container, such that the bottom surface is coplanar with the storage lid, enabling the bottom surface and the storage lid to be used in combination as a singular work surface; wherein the storage lid and the storage receptacle in combination enclose a substantially prismatic interior space; wherein the storage container comprises a recess and the container frame comprises a hooked member able to engage the recess of the storage container, such that a terminal end of the hooked member is substantially parallel to the container frame, thereby preventing the storage container from being lifted from the container frame when the terminal end of the hooked member is inserted into the recess of the storage container; wherein the container frame comprises at least one screw aperture having internal threading able to accept a machine screw; and further comprising at least one leveling member interposed between the container frame and the at least two lift members, the at least one leveling member including at least two captive screws, the at least two captive screws being fastenable into the at least one screw aperture of the container frame, such that turning the at least two captive screws adjusts a distance between the at least one leveling member and the container frame.
