In the general structural scheme of the invention the access areas on the storage member have integrated therein support runners that engage the respective upper lateral sides of the bin to hold the bin in position, with the runners being angled downwardly towards the front of the storage access area to hold the individual storage bin in a downwardly declined position as it extends outwardly to facilitate handling of the bins and removal of the contents of the storage bin.

DISCUSSION OF PRIOR ART AND BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] In the existing art, there are various structures used to hold individual storage bins in position for access to the bins for filling, cleaning, or otherwise. The storage bins of this type are commonly used for many purposes, including kindergarten and grade school usage for storage of children's educational and play items. These storage members are thus used for holding items that are needed to play or education purposes. [0002] One of the problems with existing storage members is that they are not equipped to be positioned for easy access to the individual storage units and ease in the process of emptying the containers. The problem with existing storage units of this type is that they are not structured to readily reach the contents in the rear of the storage bin and when the individual storage bins are aligned straight and level in the space in storage member they do not lead to easy removal of the contents. This is particularly a cumbersome arrangement when the storage member contains loose or particular members that need to be channeled toward the front of the container for ready access. [0003] Yet another problem with existing such storage containers is that they usually must be removed entirely from the space in which they are held if the portions in the back of the container are to be removed. [0004] In view of this foregoing, the following are objects herein. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0005] It is an object on the subject invention to provide an improved storage member; [0006] Yet another object of the subject invention is to provide an improved storage member for kindergarten usage; [0007] Still another object of the subject invention is to provide an improved storage unit wherein the individual members are self feeding, so that the contents thereof can be easily removed; [0008] It is also an object of the subject invention to provide an improved apparatus to store individual containers in a downwardly inclined position to facilitate removal of the containers contents; [0009] Another object of the subject invention is to provide an improved storage container for accommodating individual storage containers that are angled downwardly towards the front; [0010] Still another object of the subject invention is to provide a storage apparatus for individually removable containers; [0011] Yet another object of the subject invention is to provide an efficient storage structure; [0012] Other and further objects of the subject invention will become apparent from a reading of the following description taken in conjection with the claims. IN THE DRAWINGS [0013] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the subject invention in section; [0014] FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the subject invention; [0015] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the subject invention, in an exploded view, showing the various components thereof; [0016] FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the subject invention; [0017] FIG. 5 is another side elevational view of the subject invention; [0018] FIG. 6A is a side elevational view, in section, of the tray holding mechanism used in conjunction with the subject invention; [0019] FIG. 6B is a side elevational view, in section, of a tray assembly, in the horizontal position to the subject invention; [0020] FIG. 7A is a top elevational view of the subject invention; FIG. 7B is an upper elevational view, in section, of the subject invention; [0021] FIG. 7C is a bottom elevational view of the subject invention.
