SUPPORT CONTAINERS AND VEHICLES INCLUDING SAME

摘要

A support container includes a base and a lid. The base includes a base wall, a pair of substantially vertical, elongated flanges, and a lower flange. The base wall at least partially defines a receptacle. The lower flange cooperates with the pair of substantially vertical, elongated flanges to define a slot. The lid includes an upper portion, a side wall, and an upper flange. The side wall extends substantially downwardly from the upper portion and defines a pair of substantially vertical, elongated channels. Each of the substantially vertical, elongated flanges extends away from the base wall and the receptacle. When the lid is installed on the base, the side wall substantially covers the slot, the pair of substantially vertical, elongated flanges nests extensively within the pair of substantially vertical, elongated channels, and the lower and upper flanges cooperate with one another to define a conduit for the receptacle.

1. A support container comprising:
a base comprising:
a base wall that at least partially defines a receptacle;a pair of substantially vertical, elongated flanges; anda lower flange that cooperates with the pair of substantially vertical, elongated flanges to define a slot; and a lid comprising:
an upper portion;a side wall extending substantially downwardly from the upper portion, the side wall defining a pair of substantially vertical, elongated channels; andan upper flange; wherein: the slot defines a centerline that resides in an imaginary plane; each of the substantially vertical, elongated flanges extends away from the base wall, the receptacle, and the imaginary plane in substantially the same direction; and when the lid is installed on the base, the side wall substantially covers the slot, the pair of substantially vertical, elongated flanges of the base nests extensively within the pair of substantially vertical, elongated channels of the side wall of the lid, and the lower flange of the base and the upper flange of the lid cooperate with one another to define a conduit for the receptacle.
