AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a convertible container assembly that can be easily attached to a surface and support a user while also being easily folded up for storage. The assembly includes an upper member and a lower member that can be folded up to form a parallelepipedous shape. The lower member has a pad portion for support and can also securely attach to the upper member. The assembly also includes a coupling member for attaching to a surface and a plurality of folding portions that create an internal cavity when folded up. The folding portions have overlapping attachment portions to create a continuous attachment line. The invention provides a convenient and versatile solution for storing and accessing objects while also being easily attached to a surface.

Problems solved by technology

If, to accomplish a task, a craftsman is required to store and carry additional items, such as a tool belt, carrying case, or surface mounting device the additional items add bulk and weight.

Because a typical craftsman must frequently store and access tools and other items, and transport the items to a new location, energy, time, and productivity are wasted with the bulk and weight of additional tools and items.

Further, space constraints surrounding the work site, surface, or particular space in which a worker must work often require the worker to sit or kneel, or maintain themselves in a position that is stressful to the knees, back, shoulders, or other portions of the body to accomplish a required task.
