Storage carousel

Abstract

A storage unit has a top, a bottom, and a carousel upon which the bottom rotates thereupon. A plurality of drawers is disposed symmetrically between the bottom and the top. Each drawer has a pentagonal shape having a front wall, a pair of front side walls each of which extends from the front wall and are parallel to each other, a pair of back side walls each of which extends from a front side wall and converges towards an other of the back side walls and a back wall attaching to each of the back side walls. Each back side wall of one drawer contacts an adjacent side wall of an adjacent drawer and the back walls of the drawers define a space.

         11 . A storage unit comprising:
 a carousel,   a plurality of drawers disposed upon said carousel, each drawer having a first geometry such that each drawer is in close registration with said first geometry of each adjacent drawer if said adjacent drawers are closed, and   a plurality of intermediate units, each unit disposed between adjacent drawers, each said intermediate unit having a second geometry.   
     
     
         12 . The storage unit of  claim 11  wherein said first geometry is a pentagon and said second geometry is a trapezoid. 
     
     
         13 . The storage unit of  claim 11  wherein said first geometries and said second geometries form an octagon. 
     
     
         14 . The storage unit of  claim 13  wherein said first geometry is a pentagon and said second geometry is a trapezoid. 
     
     
         15 . The storage unit of  claim 11  wherein said carousel further comprises a bottom upon which said drawers and intermediate units are disposed said bottom having a wheel disposed therein riding in said carousel, said wheel disposed behind said intermediate storage unit and between adjacent drawers. 
     
     
         16 . A storage unit comprising:
 a circular track,   a rotatable bottom disposed above said track,   a plurality of drawers disposed upon said bottom, each drawer having a first geometry such that each drawer is in close registration with said first geometry of each adjacent drawer if said adjacent drawers are closed, and   a plurality of intermediate units, each unit disposed between adjacent drawers, each said intermediate unit having a second geometry, said bottom having a wheel disposed therein riding in said track, said wheel disposed behind said intermediate storage unit and between adjacent drawers.   
     
     
         17 . The storage unit of  claim 16  wherein said first geometry is a pentagon and said second geometry is a trapezoid. 
     
     
         18 . The storage unit of  claim 16  wherein said first geometries and said second geometries form an octagon. 
     
     
         19 . The storage unit of  claim 18  wherein said first geometry is a pentagon and said second geometry is a trapezoid. 
     
     
         20 . A storage unit, said storage unit comprising:
 a base having a several faces;   a first drawer occupying a first face of said base;   a second drawer occupying a diametrically opposite second face of said base relative to said first face,   a first rectangular compartment occupying a third face of said base wherein said third face is perpendicular to said first face and said second face and wherein said rectangular compartment defines a race for both said first drawer and said second drawer, and   a first triangular compartment occupying a fourth face of said base wherein said fourth face is disposed between said third face and said second face.   
     
     
         21 . The storage unit of  claim 20  wherein said triangular compartment further defines said race.
