ABSTRACT:
An inclinable compartmented storage container including a flat, generally trapezoidally-shaped bottom portion having two parallel peripheral edges of non-equal length, and two non-parallel peripheral edges of equal length. The parallel edges are relatively disposed such that a line segment drawn between the respective midpoints associated with each parallel edge perpendicularly intersects each parallel edge. Upstanding sidewall portions extend upwards from, and in a substantially perpendicular manner, each of the non-parallel edges. Also, upstanding endwall portions extend generally obliquely upwards from each of the parallel edges. A means for inclining the container above a top surface of a work table is attached to the bottom portion and is disposed adjacent to one of the parallel but non-equal edges. Two longitudinal dividers are disposed within the container and divide the interior of the container into three columnar sections. The longitudinal dividers are attached to each of the endwall portions and extend perpendicularly upwards from the bottom portion. A plurality of transverse dividers are attached between each of the longitudinal dividers, or between a longitudinal divider and an adjacent sidewall portion thereby dividing each columnar section into a plurality of non-rectangular quadrilaterally-shaped compartments of unequal volumes.
