An expandable storage structure (10) comprises at least one extendable wall. The extendable wall comprises at least three slidably engaged panels (30, 32, 36), and at least a first and second panel (30, 32) are co-planar. At least one of the panels (30, 32, 36) is hollow and receives at least a part of at least one of the other panels (30, 32, 36). The first and second panels (30, 32) are movable relative to each other panel (30, 32, 36) in order to adjust a dimension of the wall. A linkage mechanism (34) connects the first and second panels (30, 32) and is configured to allow relative movement between the panels (30, 32, 36) while maintaining the first and second panels (30, 32) in the same plane as each other.

A dual-functioning drawer for a case piece of furniture that can transition from an enclosed drawer to an open media shelf for storing electronic components or devices. The drawer front is affixed to the drawer sides with brackets that rotate about a pivot point to rotate the drawer front from a vertical position to a horizontal position such that the drawer front rests on top of the drawer sides and is receded in the case piece. The drawer may also include an angled display panel for storing and charging electronic devices and cutouts for managing cords within the drawer.

A modular drawer structure mainly includes a bottom board and front, rear boards and side boards coupled to the bottom board, where the boards each has an outer frame and a positioning frame configured on the inner edge of the outer frame, the outer frame is configured with buckling elements and engagement grooves, and a mesh sheet body constituted by interwoven net threads is configured on the positioning frame. Whereby, the front, rear boards and side boards are allowed to be positioned vertically on the peripheral of the bottom board by means of the mutual engagement of buckling element and engagement grooves of the outer frame of each board with each other in such a way to form a box-typed drawer. In addition, all the boards may be detached from each other and stacked together so as to facilitate handling and storage while not in use.

The cabinet 1 has a base 3 that defines an opening 7, which is sized to receive the tynes of a lifting device, such as a fork lift of the like, for example. This facilitates transportation of the entire cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 has nine drawers 8, each having formations, in the form of a pair of slots 10 and 11, which are adapted for engagement with the tynes. Once the tynes have been inserted, the lifting device operator may then raise the tynes slightly, thereby supporting the drawer 8 on the tynes. The lifting device operator can then remove the drawer 8 that is being supported by the tynes from the cabinet 1.

The present invention is directed to a method of forming a container comprising forming a basket portion of metal mesh material and a rail connected to the basket portion. The rail extends substantially outwardly from the outer surface of the basket portion and the rail extends continuously around the outer surface of the basket portion. In one example, the method includes forming the rail so that it does not contain or surround a free edge of the basket portion. In another example, the method includes forming the rail so that it includes an opening for containing or surrounding a free edge of the basket portion. The method may also include forming a lower rail. The present invention is also directed to a container formed by such method.
