An expandable storage structure (10, figure 1) comprises at least one extendable wall, which comprises first and second panels 30, 32 located within a guide sleeve 36. The panels 30, 32 are co-planar and connected by a linkage mechanism 34 configured to allow relative movement between the panels 30, 32 while maintaining them in the same plane. The linkage mechanism 34 comprises a bar 40 with a first end 41 secured to the first panel 30 and a second end 43 secured to the second panel 32. In use the linkage bar 40 pivots about a point 42 which is secured to the guide sleeve 36. Guide rails may be provided within the guide sleeve 36 to hold and guide the panels 30, 32. A form of stop mechanism may be provided to limit movement and prevent the panels 30, 32 from being moved out of the guide sleeve 36. |
