Telescopic container

Abstract

Devices are disclosed for telescopic containers. In one example embodiment, a device for a telescopic container includes a first portion having a top surface connected to a bottom surface by one or more sides. Further, the device includes a second portion also having a top surface connected to a bottom surface by one or more sides. Further still, the device includes more than one telescopic units, which are located on the top and bottom surfaces of the first and second portions, that expandably connect both the first top surface to the second top surface and the second bottom surface to the second bottom surface. Whether rectangular or wheel shaped, for example, the container may store items in a contracted state, and, in an expanded state, the container transforms into a working surface with an increased surface area as compared to the container in its contracted state.

1 . A telescopic container, comprising:
 a first portion having a first top surface connected to a first bottom surface by one or more first sides;   a second portion having a second top surface connected to a second bottom surface by one or more second sides;   more than one telescopic units, located on the top and bottom surfaces, expandably connecting both the first top surface to the second top surface and the second bottom surface to the second bottom surface;   whereby expanding the telescopic container increases its surface area and results in a work surface, and fully contracting the telescopic container results in an enclosed box for housing one or more items therein.   
   
   
       2 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic container has a rectangular shape, and, as a result, each of the portions has three sides. 
   
   
       3 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic container has a wheel shape, and, as a result, each of the portions has one side. 
   
   
       4 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion is a same size as the second portion. 
   
   
       5 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion is larger than the second portion. 
   
   
       6 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic container has a range of positions from a fully contracted state to a fully expanded state. 
   
   
       7 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , further comprising a securing mechanism having a first part located on one of the one or more first sides and a second part located on one of the one or more second sides, whereby the securing mechanism provides the telescopic container with enclosure support in a fully contracted state. 
   
   
       8 . The securing mechanism of  claim 7 , wherein the securing mechanism comprises a latch. 
   
   
       9 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic container in a fully contracted state has a capacity to house the one or more items. 
   
   
       10 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic container in an expanded state has a capacity to provide a work surface area with increased surface area as compared to the telescopic container in a fully contracted state. 
   
   
       11 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein each of the more than one telescopic units comprises a male portion on the first portion for movable adjustment in a female portion on the second portion. 
   
   
       12 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein each of the more than one telescopic units comprises a portion on the first portion for movable adjustment in a grooved portion on the second portion. 
   
   
       13 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein each of the more than one telescopic units is integrally connected to the top and bottom surfaces. 
   
   
       14 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein each of the more than one telescopic units has portions affixed to the top and bottom surfaces. 
   
   
       15 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein each of the more than one telescopic units further comprises a restraining mechanism to prevent complete separation of the first portion from the second portion 
   
   
       16 . The restraining mechanism of  claim 15 , wherein each of the more than one telescopic units comprises a male portion, having a T-shape and integrally connected to the first portion, for movable adjustment in a female portion on the second portion, wherein an upper bar shape of the T-shape is larger than a width of the female portion, and, thereby, preventing complete separation of the first portion from the second portion. 
   
   
       17 . The telescopic container of  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic container comprises one or more substances. 
   
   
       18 . The telescopic container of  claim 17 , wherein the one or more substances comprises metal. 
   
   
       19 . The telescopic container of  claim 17 , wherein the one or more substances comprises plastic. 
   
   
       20 . The telescopic container of  claim 17 , wherein the one or more substances comprises wood.
