ABSTRACT:
In general, a bin of the present invention comprises a base portion, opposing first and second side walls, an end wall and an access gate. The side walls are connected to the base portion and extend upwardly therefrom. The end wall is connected to a rearward edge of the base portion and extends upwardly therefrom between the first and second side wall. The access gate includes first and second leg members and at least one article retainer. The first leg member is operatively connected to a forward edge of the base portion, adjacent the first side wall, and extends generally upwardly from the base portion. The second leg member is operatively connected to a forward edge of the base portion, adjacent the second side wall, and extends generally upwardly from the base portion. The first and second leg members define the left and right margins of an access opening in the gate. The article retainer has a first end and a second end. The first end of the article retainer is connected to the first leg member of the gate. The article retainer is operable between an extended condition and an unextended condition. When the article retainer is in its extended condition, it spans the access opening between the first and second leg members in a manner to prevent articles being carried in an interior of the bin from inadvertently falling out of the bin through the access opening. When the article retainer is in its unextended condition, the second end of the article retainer is movable generally toward the first end of the article retainer to provide unobstructed access to the interior of the bin through the access opening.
