    Abstract: A container takes on the form of a laundry hamper or basket while static or stationary. Upon bringing front and back panels of the container into closer proximity for transport, such as by drawing together their respective handles, or drawing one of the handles towards the other, the container changes configuration, or shape, to that of a tote bag. Upon releasing at least one of the front and back panels of the container from being drawn towards the other, such as by releasing at least one of their respective handles, the container automatically reverts back to the form of a laundry hamper or basket. The use of substantially rigid front and back panels, coupled with side panels that have resilient upper regions, permit the side panels to take on a spout-like configuration when the container is in its tote bag configuration, and to return to a planar configuration when the container is in its laundry hamper or basket configuration.

    Abstract: A reconfigurable modular storage system has a reconfigurable support for storage units of the storage system. The reconfigurable support includes an end frame member attachable to the storage unit in two reverse orientations and releasably attachable base members. When the end frame member is attached to the storage unit in a first orientation and the base members are unattached, a portion of the end frame member serves as a raised end railing of the storage unit. When the end frame member is attached to the storage unit in a second orientation and the base members are attached, the base members serve as a load-bearing supports for the end frame member and for the storage unit. Multiple end frame members may be vertically stacked to create multiple vertically stacked storage units.
