ABSTRACT:
A container for holding assorted items includes a rack, a compartment having a rear face and connected to the rack, a flange member extending from the rack which can pivot flat against the rear face of the compartment, and a wheel mounted on the flange member which can pivot with the flange member against the rear face of the compartment, to conserve space and prevent unwanted rolling of the container. The compartment is preferably an elongated, hollow cube, and a plurality of such compartments may be provided, one on top of the other, for the segregated retention of items. The rack preferably includes an essentially inverted U-shaped tube having a cross-segment and two parallel side segments. The compartment top and bottom faces have rack receiving ports for receiving the side segments of the rack. The side segments are each formed of multiple link portions removably connected together. A method of assembling a container as described above includes the steps of fitting the link portions together and into the cross-segment, and sliding the assembled side segments through the compartment ports. A method of disassembling a container as described above includes the steps of sliding the side segments out of the compartment ports, and pulling the link portions of the side segments and the cross-segment apart.
