A multi-purpose container system includes a first container that has attached to it opposed pairs of legs. Each pair of legs may pivot from a first position to a second position rotated about 180 degrees. In the second position of the legs, the first container may be supported inverted with its opening facing downward. In that orientation, a recessed area is facing upward and has a periphery sized to receive a second container. The second container may be placed with its bottom edges received within the recessed area to support the second container. In that orientation, the second container is significantly elevated from a floor surface. Thus, tools and supplies may be stored within the second container elevated off the floor allowing a workman easy access to the interior of the second container to retrieve tools and supplies while performing work.

A multi-purpose container system, comprising: a) a container having a bottom and side walls surrounding a chamber having an opening opposite said bottom;b) a first hinge attached to said container and to which is fastened a first support for said container;c) a second hinge attached to said container and to which is fastened a second support for said container;d) said hinges permitting said supports to pivot about 180° with respect to said container;e) whereby in a first orientation of said supports, said container may be supported with said opening facing upward, and in a second orientation of said supports said container may be supported by said supports with said opening facing downward;f) further wherein in said second orientation, said bottom of said container faces upward, and further including a peripheral wall surrounding said bottom, said peripheral wall extending upwardly in said second orientation and forming a recessed area with said bottom; andg) further wherein said container comprises a first container, said system comprising a second container having a bottom and side walls surrounding a chamber having an opening opposite said bottom, said second container being sized so that its bottom and adjacent portions of its side walls are closely receivable within said recessed area in said second orientation of said first container. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein said supports comprise legs. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein each support includes two legs. 4. The system of claim 3, wherein each leg has an adjustable length. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein each leg includes at least two leg sections that telescope to adjust length. 6. The system of claim 3, further including a cross member connected between respective legs of each support. 7. The system of claim 6, further including a cord releasably connectable between said cross members in each orientation of said supports to retain said supports in each orientation. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein said cord comprises an elastic cord including a hook at each end thereof. 9. The system of claim 1, further including a strap releasably attachable to said container. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein said second container includes a handle. 11. The system of claim 1, further including a strap releasably attachable to said container. 12. The system of claim 9, wherein said strap is connected between opposed sides of said first container. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein said containers are made of plastic. 14. A multi-purpose container system, comprising: a) a first container having a bottom and side walls surrounding a chamber having an opening opposite said bottom;b) a first hinge attached to said container and to which is fastened a first support for said first container, said first support comprising a pair of legs;c) a second hinge attached to said container and to which is fastened a second support for said container, said second support comprising a pair of legs;d) said hinges permitting said pairs of legs to pivot about 180° with respect to said container so that said supports can be pivoted between two orientations about 180° apart, said hinges being located adjacent said opening;e) whereby in a first orientation of said pairs of legs, said container may be supported by said pairs of legs with said opening facing upward a first distance above a ground surface, and in a second orientation of said pairs of legs said container may be supported by said supports with said opening facing downward a second distance above said ground surface, said second distance being greater than said first distance;f) wherein in said second orientation, said bottom of said container faces upward, and further including a peripheral wall surrounding said bottom, said peripheral wall extending upwardly in said second orientation and forming a recessed area with said bottom; andg) said system comprising a second container having a bottom and side walls surrounding a chamber having an opening opposite said bottom, said second container being sized so that its bottom and adjacent portions of its side walls are receivable within said recessed area in said second orientation of said first container. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein each leg has an adjustable length, including at least two leg sections that telescope to adjust length. 16. The system of claim 14, further including a cross member connected between respective pairs of legs of each support. 17. The system of claim 16, further including an elastic cord releasably connectable between said cross members in each orientation of said supports to retain said supports in each orientation, said cord including a hook at each end thereof. 18. The system of claim 14, further including a strap releasably attachable to said first container.
