Abstract

A portable storage assembly includes a central support structure and a container assembly comprising a storage container and a cover member. The container assembly is movable between access and storage positions with respect to the central support structure. When the container assembly is in its access position, the storage container is in its access position and the cover member is movable into its open position and when the cover member is in its closed position, the container assembly can be moved into its storage position in which the storage container is in its storage position with respect to the central support structure. The central support structure holds the cover member closed when the container assembly is in its storage position. A locking assembly releasably locks the container assembly in its storage position. A handle is connected to the central support structure for carrying assembly.
