ABSTRACT:
An object storage receptacle having two articulating arm members movably attached to opposite sides of a receptacle member at a point at or above the center of gravity of said receptacle member. The articulating arm members are attached to the receptacle member such that in a first position the arm members form a handle by which the storage receptacle may be carried, in a second position the arm members form a stand sufficiently stable to support the storage receptacle in a free-standing manner, and in a third position the arm members together may be disposed laterally relative to the storage receptacle. The arm members may be capable of free movement throughout a continuous circle about the receptacle and/or capable of telescoping into a first position where the arm members are fully extended for use and in a second position where the arm members are fully retracted for storage. Wheels may be attached to at least one arm member to enable the user to roll the device to a different location during use without lifting and carrying the entire device.
