Abstract
A storage unit assembly kit is provided in which only two rectangular panel pieces are repetitively interlocked to form a storage array for miniature toys. The first of the panels includes enlargements at each corner pierced by a first and second aperture extending completely across the plane of the panel. The second panel, in turn, includes a first and second set of posts extending laterally in the panel plane for insertion in the respective ones of the apertures. The second panel may also include a bounding barrier generally dimensioned to receive and confine the toy therebetween.
Claims14
A storage unit assembly kit, comprising:
- a first generally rectangular assembly panel defined by a pair of horizontal strips extending between a pair of vertical strips, the juncture of each said horizontal and vertical strips being formed as an enlargement provided with a first and second piercing aperture extending therethrough;
- a second generally rectangular assembly panel defined by a pair of longitudinal strips extending between a pair of transverse strips including a first pair of transversely directed posts extending distally from one end of said transverse strips along one of said longitudinal strips and a second pair of transversely directed posts extending distally from the other ends of said transverse strips and aligned in a direction generally opposite to the direction of said first pair of posts;
- said first pair of posts being separated by a dimension generally equal to the separating dimension between said first piercing apertures;
- and
- said second pair of posts being separated by a dimension generally equal to the separating dimension between said second piercing apertures.
An assembly for forming an array of storage cavities, comprising:
- a first and second generally rectangular assembly panel each defined by a pair of longitudinal strips extending between a pair of transverse strips, the juncture of each said longitudinal and transverse strips of said first panel being formed as an enlargement provided with a first and second piercing aperture extending therethrough, and said second panel including a first pair of transversely directed posts extending distally from one ends of said transverse strips along one of said longitudinal strips and a second pair of transversely directed posts extending distally from the other ends of said transverse strips and aligned in a direction generally opposite to the direction of said first pair of posts;
- wherein said first pair of posts being separated by a dimension generally equal to the separating dimension between said first piercing apertures and said second pair of posts being separated by a dimension generally equal to the separating dimension between said second piercing apertures.
