PARTS ORGANIZER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049878 titled 'PARTS ORGANIZER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a storage system that includes a housing with a compartment and a closure structure, as well as a bin that can be positioned and pivoted within the compartment. The bin has sidewalls and a rear wall that partially define a storage space accessible from outside the housing. The closure structures on both the housing and the bin create a detent that resists the bin's movement from a closed position to an open position, unless a predetermined force is applied.

The storage system includes a housing with a compartment and a closure structure.
A bin is positioned and pivoted within the compartment.
The bin has sidewalls and a rear wall that define a storage space.
The closure structures on the housing and bin create a detent that resists the bin's movement.
The detent prevents the bin from opening without a predetermined force.

Potential Applications:

Home organization systems
Automotive storage compartments
Industrial storage solutions

Problems Solved:

Prevents accidental opening of the bin
Provides secure storage within the housing

Benefits:

Enhanced safety and security
Efficient use of storage space
Easy access to stored items

Original Abstract Submitted

a storage system includes a housing including a compartment defined by compartment sidewalls and a compartment rear wall. the housing further includes a first closure structure adjacent or on the compartment rear wall. the storage system further includes a bin positionable in the compartment and pivotable relative to the housing between a closed position and an open position. the bin includes bin sidewalls and a bin rear wall at least partially defining a storage space accessible from outside the housing in the open position, and the bin rear wall has a second closure structure. the first closure structure and the second closure structure cooperatively define a closure detent that resists pivotal movement of the bin from the closed position to the open position absent a predetermined force acting on the bin toward the open position.
