Foldable sealing container apparatus

Abstract

A container system constructed for general storage of items. The storage container is constructed of the usual materials such as cardboard, plastic, fabric, rubber or the like for office use. The container system is ideal for storage of loose papers, pens, erasers, ink cartridges, referral slips or other items often stored or kept in draws. A separate insert is utilized to hold apparatuses such as file holders.

1 . A container system comprising:
 at least four walls;   a base portion;   a set of hinges;   wherein the at least four walls are joined together and formed as one piece with the set of hinges at a junction of each wall and the base portion;   wherein the base portion and at least four walls comprise feature a contiguous construction;   wherein the set of hinges are positioned within at least two opposing walls to allow folding of the at least two opposing walls; and,   wherein the at least four walls comprise at least two walls comprising a total area equal to the total area of the base portion.   
     
     
         2 . The container system of  claim 1  wherein the at least four walls comprise at least two opposing tri-paneled wall members. 
     
     
         3 . The container system of  claim 2  wherein one of the tri-paneled wall members folds underneath the opposing tri-paneled wall member to be completely covered under the opposing tri-paneled wall member. 
     
     
         4 . The container system of  claim 3  wherein a cover folds down on to and encapsulates both of the at least two opposing tri-paneled wall members. 
     
     
         5 . The container system of  claim 2  wherein an upper edge of at least one of the at least two opposing tri-paneled wall members comprises a non rectangular upper edge. 
     
     
         6 . The container system of  claim 5  wherein the non-rectangular upper edge comprises a shape selected from the group consisting of v-shape, radial, arcuate, round, oval, square, triangular, notched and indented. 
     
     
         7 . The container system of  claim 1  wherein the container system further comprises a cover, and the cover comprises a configuration selected from the group: consisting of solid, split, foldable, attached and detachable. 
     
     
         8 . The container system of  claim 1  wherein the at least four walls comprise:
 a set of separately disposed, individual panel members; and, 
 a fabric layer in communication with and covering the set of separately disposed, individual panel members; 
 wherein a seam in the fabric layer is sealed between each panel member and binds the panel members together; and, 
 wherein the fabric layer is bonded to the container system. 
 
     
     
         9 . The container system of  claim 1  further comprising a rail system. 
     
     
         10 . The container system of  claim 9  wherein the rail system is removably attached. 
     
     
         11 . The container system of  claim 9  wherein the rail system is externally mounted to the container system. 
     
     
         12 . The container system of  claim 9  wherein the rail system further comprises an insert system. 
     
     
         13 . The container system of  claim 12  wherein the insert system comprises a construction selected from the group consisting of a skeleton of wire, a solid frame construction or a clip on mechanism. 
     
     
         14 . A container system comprising:
 at least four walls, comprising at least two tri-panel folding walls;   a base portion;   a two piece cover portion; and,   a removably attached rail insert system.   
     
     
         15 . The container system of  claim 14  wherein each of the at least two tri-panel folding walls further comprise a matching upper edge comprising a shape selected from the group consisting of v-shaped, radial, arcuate, round, oval, square, triangular, notched and indented. 
     
     
         16 . A portable folding storage system comprising:
 a set of wall mechanisms comprising;   at least two dynamic tri-panel folding walls;   at least two static walls;   a static base portion;   wherein at least two of the set of wall mechanisms comprise a height in a range between half a length of the static base portion and a full length of the static base portion;   wherein at least two of the set of wall mechanisms comprise a height in a range between half the width of the base and the full width of the base;   a cover mechanism;   a set of stabilizing members;   a rail system; and,   wherein the at least two dynamic tri-panel folding walls fit under each other upon folding.   
     
     
         17 . The portable folding storage system of  claim 16  wherein the rail system is integrated within the set of stabilizing members. 
     
     
         18 . The portable folding storage system of  claim 16  wherein the rail system comprises an insert system. 
     
     
         19 . The portable folding storage system of  claim 18  wherein the insert system comprises a construction selected from the group consisting of a skeleton of wire, a solid frame construction or a clip on mechanism. 
     
     
         20 . The portable folding storage system of  claim 16  wherein each of the at least two tri-panel folding walls comprise a matching upper edge, and further comprising a shape selected from the group consisting of v-shaped, radial, arcuate, round, oval, square, triangular, notched and indented.
