Reconfigurable article storage container

A reconfigurable article storage container comprising:

• a plurality of identical panels interconnectible into a container of variably arrangable size and shape and containing at least one individual article storage compartment therein, each panel including:
• a plurality of panel sections of identical height, each panel section having first and second spaced edges thereof co-linearly arranged with the first and second edges of adjacent panel sections, each panel section having first and second side ends spaced from the first and second side ends of an adjacent panel section;
• a connector web integrally formed with and disposed between the side ends of two adjacent panel sections, each connector web being of a predetermined length and having one end spaced a predetermined distance from the second edges of the adjacent panel sections;
• a connector slot formed between two adjacent panel sections and extending from the second edges of the adjacent panel sections to the one end of the connector web for releasably receiving an identical connector slot of another panel therein, the another panel being inverted 180.degree. and oriented perpendicular to the other interconnected panel;
• the side ends of each panel section have a polygonal shape to form flat side end faces planarly engageable with identical flat side end faces of an identical panel when the two panels are interconnected in a perpendicular, inverted arrangement;
• and
• side end connecting means, releasably attachable to outermost side ends of two panels, for connecting the two panels in a lengthwise extending, co-planar arrangement;
• the side end connecting means having first and second end portions formed of spaced first and second legs, the first and second legs having a shape complementary to the shape of the side ends of the panels for releasably engaging the side ends of the panels.

• each connector web having a thickness less than the thickness of the first and second edges of the panel sections;
• a connector slot formed between two adjacent panel sections and extending from the second edges of the adjacent panel sections to the one end of the connector web for releasably receiving an identical connector slot of another panel therein, the another panel being inverted 180.degree. and oriented perpendicular to a connected panel, each connector slot having a length equal to one-half of the distance between the first and second edges of the adjacent panel sections;
• all of the first and second side ends of each of the panel sections have a polygonal shape with side end faces disposed at an interior angle less than 90.degree. from each other;
• and
• side end connecting means, releasably attachable to outermost side ends of two panels, for connecting the two panels in a lengthwise extending, co-planar arrangement;
• the side end connecting means having first and second end portions formed of spaced first and second legs, the first and second legs having a shape complementary to the shape of the side ends of the panels for releasably engaging the side ends of the panels;
• and
• a central leg extending between the first and second end portions and insertable between the outermost first and second ends of two co-linearly arranged panels.
