Abstract
A modular storage system is adapted for mounting to a support surface such as a wall or the underside of a cabinet. The system comprises a base including a planar top wall connected to opposite downwardly depending side walls and a bottom wall extending between the side walls. The bottom wall has a front opening cutout. The top, bottom and side walls together define a front facing channel contiguous with the cutout. A cover includes a body of a size smaller than the channel, yet larger than the cutout and a downwardly opening threaded collar affixed to the body for threadably mounting a storage jar. The cover is removably receivable in the channel with the collar positioned above the cutout. The body bears on the bottom wall with a jar mounted to the collar extending downwardly through the cutout.

A modular storage system adapted for mounting to a support surface, the system comprising:
- a base including a planar top wall, connected to opposite downwardly depending side walls, and a bottom wall extending between the side walls, the bottom wall having a front opening cutout, the top, bottom and side walls together defining a front facing channel contiguous with the cutout;
- and
- a cover including a body of a size smaller than the channel yet larger than the cutout and a downwardly opening threaded collar affixed to and extending from the body for threadably mounting a storage jar, whereby the cover is removably receivable in the channel with the collar positioned at least partly above the cutout and the body bearing on the bottom wall with a jar mounted to the collar extending downwardly through the cutout.
A modular storage system adapted for mounting to a support surface, the system comprising:
- a base including an elongate planar top wall, connected to a plurality of parallel, longitudinally spaced downwardly depending side walls, and a bottom wall parallel to the top wall and connected to bottoms of the side walls, the bottom wall having a front opening cutout between each pair of adjacent side walls, the top, bottom and side walls together defining a plurality of front facing channels each contiguous with one of the cutouts;
- and
- a plurality of covers, each cover including a body of a size smaller than each channel yet larger than each cutout and a downwardly opening threaded collar affixed to and extending from the body for threadably mounting a storage jar, whereby each cover is removably receivable in one of the channels with its collar positioned at least partly above the associated cutout and the body bearing on the bottom wall with a jar mounted to the collar extending downwardly through the associated cutout.
