Collapsible storage container

Abstract

A stackable and collapsible storage container includes a storage body having a plurality of segments and a plurality of creases. The storage container also includes a lid with a first hinge member configured to be removably coupled to the storage body. Additionally, the storage container includes a removable internal divider which is sized and shaped to be received within the storage body to define an upper cavity and a lower cavity of the storage body. The internal divider also is configured to be coupled with the lid which may increase the storage capability of the storage container to accommodate larger items. The internal divider may include a plurality of portions and each portion is configured to be moved to a raised position.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A collapsible storage container, comprising:
 a storage body having a plurality of segments and a plurality of creases, at least one segment is configured to fold about at least one crease to adjust a size of the storage body;   a lid including a first hinge member configured to be removably coupled to the storage body, and the first hinge member is configured to pivot about a second hinge member coupled to the storage body; and   a removable internal divider sized and shaped to be received within the storage body to define an upper cavity and a lower cavity of the storage body, and the internal divider is configured to be coupled with the lid.   
     
     
         2 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the internal divider includes a first portion and a second portion movably coupled together. 
     
     
         3 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 2 , wherein the internal divider includes a third hinge member and the first and second portions are pivotably coupled to the third hinge member. 
     
     
         4 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 2 , wherein one or both of the first and second portions are configured to move to access the lower cavity of the storage body. 
     
     
         5 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the storage body is configured to move between a use position and a non-use position, the size of the storage body being greater when in the use position than in the non-use position, and the internal divider is positioned adjacent one of the creases when the storage body is in the use position. 
     
     
         6 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the internal divider includes at least one cut-out for moving the internal divider relative to the storage body. 
     
     
         7 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 1 , wherein the storage body is comprised of silicone. 
     
     
         8 . A collapsible storage container, comprising:
 a storage body having a plurality of segments and a plurality of creases, at least one segment is configured to fold about at least one crease to adjust a size of the storage body;   a lid including a first hinge member configured to be removably coupled to the storage body, and the first hinge member is configured to pivot about a second hinge member coupled to the storage body; and   a removable internal divider sized and shaped to be received within the storage body to define an upper cavity and a lower cavity of the storage body, and the internal divider including a first portion and a second portion, and the first and second portions are configured to move relative to the storage body.   
     
     
         9 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 8 , wherein the first and second portions are configured to move independently of each other and are configured to move simultaneously. 
     
     
         10 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 8 , wherein the internal divider includes a third hinge member movably coupling the first and second portions together. 
     
     
         11 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first and second portions includes a cut-out. 
     
     
         12 . A collapsible storage container, comprising:
 a storage body having a plurality of segments and a plurality of creases, at least one segment is configured to fold about at least one crease to adjust a size of the storage body;   a lid including an outer surface, an inner surface, and a first hinge member configured to be removably coupled to the storage body, and the first hinge member is configured to pivot about a second hinge member coupled to the storage body, and the outer surface including a plurality of coupling members; and   a removable internal divider sized and shaped to be received within the storage body to define an upper cavity and a lower cavity of the storage body, and the internal divider is configured to be supported by one of the inner and outer surfaces of the lid.   
     
     
         13 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 12 , wherein the coupling members are configured to receive the internal divider. 
     
     
         14 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 12 , wherein the coupling members are configured to receive a portion of an additional storage container. 
     
     
         15 . The collapsible storage container of  claim 12 , wherein the internal divider is supported by the inner surface of the lid.
