Abstract

A modular paper organizer, including a base and a plurality of dividers. The base includes a plurality of receiving units, each including a U-shaped surface defining a receiving slot, a first surface disposed at a first angle to one side of the U-shaped surface, and a second surface disposed at a second angle to an opposing side of the U-shaped surface. The second surface one receiving unit is attached to the first surface of an adjacent receiving unit. Each divider includes a planar body, and first and second engagement legs along the same edge of the planar body. The second engagement is at an acute angle to the first engagement leg and at an obtuse angle to the planar body. Each divider has one leg in a receiving slot, and the other leg resting against one of the first and second surfaces adjacent the receiving slot.

Dependent claims

A modular paper organizer, comprising:

a base including a plurality of receiving units, each receiving unit including:
a U-shaped surface defining a receiving slot;
a first surface, disposed on a first side of said U-shaped surface at a first angle relative thereto;
a second surface, disposed on a second opposing side of said U-shaped surface at a second angle relative thereto,
wherein, for each pair of said adjacent receiving units from said plurality of receiving units, said second surface of one of said pair of adjacent receiving units is attached to said first surface of the other of said pair of adjacent receiving units;
and
a plurality of dividers, each of said plurality of dividers including:
a planar body having a first end and a second end;
a first engagement leg, disposed at said second end of said planar body;
and
a second engagement leg, disposed at said second end of said planar body, said second engagement leg being disposed at an acute angle to said first engagement leg and at an obtuse angle to said planar body,
wherein for each of the plurality of dividers, one of said first and second engagement legs is removably disposed in said receiving slot of a corresponding one of said plurality of receiving units, and the other of said first and second engagement legs rests against one of said first and second surfaces of said corresponding one of said plurality of receiving units.
