DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

(6) Referring now to FIG. 1 thru FIG. 4, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that a recreation supplies container 10 (hereinafter referred to as container 10), in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, comprises a body 12 having a first surface 14, a second surface 16, an inclined surface 18, a first flat surface 20 adjoining operative top ends of the first surface 14 and the inclined surface 18, and a second flat surface 22 adjoining an operative bottom end of the inclined surface 18 and a free end of the second surface 16.

(7) The body 12 has a substantially triangular configuration. More specifically, the body 12 has a cross section that closely resembles a right angled triangle. However, the presence of presence of the first flat surface 20 and the second flat surface 22 gives the body 12 a trapezoidal configuration.

(8) The body 12 is a hollow body that is defined by the first surface 14, the second surface 16, the inclined surface 18, the first flat surface 20 adjoining operative top ends of the first surface 14 and the inclined surface 18, and the second flat surface 22 adjoining an operative bottom end of the inclined surface 18 and a free end of the second surface 16. As such, the body 12 defines a storage space 24 that is configured by the aforementioned surfaces of the body 12. The storage space 24 can be used to store various recreation or hobby supplies such as paints, brushes, rags, thinner, gum, and other such items. The container 10 further comprises a door 30 that provides the access to the storage space 24. The door 30 can be locked by means of a latch 32, as seen in FIG. 4.

(9) Every hobby or a recreational activity has some items associated with them that allow the person to pursue that particular hobby or recreational activity. The container 10 is configured to store most of these items. For example, a person who enjoys cooking has some dedicated cooking utensils/tools, which can also be stored in the container 10.

(10) The container 10 further comprises a plurality of cavities 26A, 26B. The first plurality of cavities 26A are configured on the inclined surface 18. The purpose of the first plurality of cavities 26A is to hold the recreational items or hobby items securely therewithin. As seen in FIG. 1, the cavities 26A are used to hold paint bottles. Similarly, other such items can also be held within the cavities 26A. The number of cavities 26A can be configured per the application requirements. In the present embodiment, the cavities 26A have a rectangular configuration. However, cavities 26A can also have other configurations, per the application requirements.

(11) The second plurality of cavities 26B is configured on the first flat surface 20. The second plurality of cavities 26B also carry the same function as the first plurality of cavities 26A, i.e., to hold the hobby items therewithin. However, the second plurality of cavities 26B have a vertically elongate configuration for holding items such as pen, pencil, paintbrush, and the like. In the present embodiment, the cavities 26B have a circular cross section. However, the cavities 26B can have any shape and are not limited to have the circular cross section. Also, any number of cavities 26B can be configured per the application requirements.

(12) The container 10 further comprises a working platform 28. The working platform 28 has a drawer like configuration. The working platform 28, in its inoperational state, is housed within the body 10 at the second flat surface 22. As seen in FIG. 2, the working platform 28 can be drawn out for use via the knob 28A. The user can use the working platform 28 as per the requirements.

(13) The foregoing description conveys the best understanding of the objectives and advantages of the present invention. Different embodiments may be made of the inventive concept of this invention. It is to be understood that all matter disclosed herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.
