Provided is a modular storage container system, kit, and method of using that includes standardized panels, joining protrusions, rods and corner blocks to form a durable multi-functional modular storage.
Claims19
A modular storage container system comprising one or more modular storage containers, each modular storage container comprising:
- a multitude of panels, each panel comprising edges;
- joining elements affixed proximate to the edges;
- a multitude of rods slideably engaging the joining elements;
- and
- at least one corner block having holes through adjacent faces configured to engage the ends of the rods joining adjacent panels in a substantially perpendicular alignment
- wherein the joining elements comprise an array of male joining protrusions and female receptacles arranged along the at least one edge of each panel,
- wherein each male joining structure comprises an orifice, and
- wherein the array of male joining protrusions and female receptacles on the edge of each panel is interlaced with an array of complimentary female receptacles and male joining protrusions of an edge of an adjacent panel.
5 more elements
A kit comprising:
- at least six panels, each panel comprising edges with joining element,
- at least twelve rods configured to be slideably engaged through the orifices of the joining elements on adjacent panels when interlaced;
- and
- at least eight corner blocks, each corner block comprising a cube with holes through adjacent faces configured to engage the ends of the rods joining adjacent panels in a substantially perpendicular alignment.

A method of using a modular storage container system comprising:
- providing a modular storage container system, the storage system comprising:
- one or more modular storage containers, each modular storage container comprising:
- a multitude of panels, each panel comprising edges, wherein at least one edge comprises joining elements;
- a multitude of rods threaded through the orifices of the interlaced male joining protrusions of adjacent panels;
- and
- a corner block comprising holes through adjacent faces configured to engage the ends of the rods of adjoining adjacent panels in substantially perpendicular alignment;
- wherein the joining elements comprise an array of male joining protrusions and female receptacles arranged along the at least one edge of each panel;
- wherein each male joining structure comprises an orifice;
- and
- wherein the array of male joining protrusions and female receptacles on the edge of each panel is interlaced with an array of complimentary female receptacles and male joining protrusions of an edge of an adjacent panel;
- and
- assembling the modular storage system.
