Abstract

A container is disclosed that may include a generally rectangular main housing having two parallel sides, a back, a front, and a bottom. A first horizontal base panel is connected with an inside surface of each of the two parallel sides. A portion of the two parallel sides, a portion of the back, the front and an upper surface of the horizontal base panel define an upper compartment having an open top. A vertical divider may be connected with a lower surface of the horizontal divider and an inside surface of the bottom. A right inner side of the parallel sides, a portion of the back, a right surface of the vertical divider and a portion of the upper surface of the bottom define a lower right compartment having a first frontal opening. A left inner side of the parallel sides, a portion of the back, a left surface of the vertical divider and a portion of the upper surface of the bottom define a lower left compartment having a second frontal opening. A flap lid is connected with a front edge of each respective parallel side.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A container, comprising: 
 a generally rectangular main housing comprising two parallel sides, a back, a front, and a bottom;    a horizontal base panel connected with an inside surface of each of said two parallel sides, wherein a portion of said two parallel sides, a portion of said back, said front and an upper surface of said horizontal base panel define an upper compartment having a vertically facing open top;    a vertical divider connected with a lower surface of said horizontal base panel and an upper surface of said bottom, wherein a right inner side surface of said parallel sides, a first portion of said lower surface of said horizontal base panel, a first portion of said back, a right side surface of said vertical divider and a first portion of an upper surface of said bottom define a lower right compartment having a first frontal opening, wherein a left inner side surface of said parallel sides, a second portion of said lower surface of said horizontal base panel, a second portion of said back, a left side surface of said vertical divider and a second portion of said upper surface of said bottom define a lower left compartment having a second frontal opening; and    a flap lid connected with a front edge of each respective parallel side, wherein said flap lid includes at least two apertures for providing access to said lower right compartment and said lower left compartment.    
   
   
       2 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said flap lid is hingedly connected with said front edge of each respective parallel side such that said flap lid may move between an open position and a closed position.  
   
   
       3 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprising a connector located on an upper outside surface of said back.  
   
   
       4 . The container of  claim 3 , wherein said connector comprises an inverted L-shaped bracket.  
   
   
       5 . The container of  claim 3 , further comprising a mounting bracket having a support, wherein said connector fits within said support such that said generally rectangular main housing may be removably connected with said mounting bracket.  
   
   
       6 . The container of  claim 5 , wherein said support comprises an L-shaped bracket.  
   
   
       7 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprising a means for removably attaching said generally rectangular main housing to a support structure.  
   
   
       8 . The container of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of apertures located in said back for connecting said generally rectangular main housing to a support structure.  
   
   
       9 . A container assembly, comprising: 
 an upper enclosure comprising a right side wall, a left side wall, a back, a first horizontal base panel and a front, wherein said right side wall and said left side wall are parallel, wherein said right side wall and said left side wall include a lower front edge portion located at a front edge of said first horizontal base panel that extends upwardly and outwardly away from said horizontal base panel at a predetermined angle such that a larger opening is formed at a top edge of said upper enclosure in relation to a size of said first horizontal base panel thereby defining a vertical facing open compartment;    a lower enclosure comprising said right side wall, said left side wall, said back, said first horizontal base panel, a second horizontal base panel and a vertical divider, wherein said right side wall, a portion of said first horizontal base panel, said divider and a portion of said second horizontal base panel define a first horizontal facing compartment, wherein said left side wall, a second portion of said first horizontal base panel, said divider and a second portion of said second horizontal base panel define a second horizontal facing compartment;    a flap lid connected by a hinge to an outer edge of said right side wall and said left side wall, wherein said flap lid is operable to be positioned between an open position and a closed position, wherein said flap lid includes a first aperture positioned to provide a first access opening to said first horizontal facing compartment and a second opening positioned to provide a second access opening to said second horizontal facing compartment;    a first connection member located towards an upper outer edge of said back; and    a mounting bracket capable of being connected to a support structure, wherein said mounting bracket includes a second connection member, wherein said first connection member is capable of being removably connected with said second connection member.    
   
   
       10 . The container assembly of  claim 9 , wherein said first connection member comprises an inverted L-shaped bracket that extends outwardly and downwardly in relation to said back.  
   
   
       11 . The container assembly of  claim 10 , wherein said second connection member comprises an L-shaped bracket connected with said mounting bracket that defines an upwardly facing cavity, wherein a downwardly facing vertical portion of said inverted L-shaped bracket is sized to be removably placed within said upwardly facing cavity.  
   
   
       12 . The container assembly of  claim 9 , further comprising a spacer located towards a lower edge of said back having a thickness approximately equal to a combined thickness of said first connection member, said second connection member and said mounting bracket.  
   
   
       13 . The container assembly of  claim 9 , wherein said flap lid forms a friction fit connection with a portion of said lower enclosure when said flap lid is in said closed position.  
   
   
       14 . A container assembly, comprising: 
 an upper enclosure comprising a right side wall, a left side wall, a back, a first horizontal base panel and a front, wherein said right side wall and said left side wall are parallel, wherein said right side wall and said left side wall include a lower front edge portion located at a front edge of said first horizontal base panel that extends upwardly and outwardly away from said horizontal base panel at a predetermined angle such that a larger opening is formed at a top edge of said upper enclosure in relation to a size of said first horizontal base panel thereby defining an vertically facing open compartment;    a lower enclosure comprising said right side wall, said left side wall, said back, said first horizontal base panel, a second horizontal base panel and a vertical divider, wherein said right side wall, a portion of said first horizontal base panel, said divider and a portion of said second horizontal base panel define a first horizontally facing compartment, wherein said left side wall, a second portion of said first horizontal base panel, said divider and a second portion of said second horizontal base panel define a second horizontally facing compartment; and    a flap lid connected by a hinge to an outer edge of said right side wall and said left side wall, wherein said flap lid is operable to be positioned between an open position and a closed position, wherein said flap lid includes a first aperture positioned to provide a first access opening to said first horizontally facing compartment and a second opening positioned to provide a second access opening to said second horizontally facing compartment.    
   
   
       15 . The container assembly of  claim 14 , further comprising a plurality of connection apertures located in said back and means for mounting said upper and lower enclosure to a support structure.
