Patent attributes
Organizers for chest freezers are disclosed that provide increased access to items in chest freezers. The organizers include a base and at least one storage member, which can move vertically and rotate horizontally relative to the base. Vertical and horizontal movement of the storage member relative to the base is provided in some embodiments by a vertical member that forms a hinge between the base and the storage member and is provided in some embodiments by a coupling of the storage member to a vertical member extending vertically from the base. Also disclosed is a corresponding method for accessing items in a chest freezer. Moving a storage member of a disclosed organizer up relative to the organizer's base and/or rotating the storage member horizontally relative to the base provides greater access to frozen items in the storage member and frozen items located below the storage member's original position.
