File block and method of using same

A method for supporting files in a walled storage container, the container having a predetermined length, width and height, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing at least one polyhedral file block comprising a plurality of walls connected to define a shape, the longest wall of the block being shorter than the width of the container, wherein the at least one polyhedral file block is provided such that at least two opposing walls of the file block incline toward each other and with the walls defining an enclosed space having walls on all sides of the space, with at least one wall configured to be opened so that the enclosed space can store small various items;
• placing files within the container;
• and
• placing the at least one file block in the container such that one wall of the file block abuts the files and such that an opposing wall of the file block abuts a supporting surface comprising one of the walls of the container, another file or another file block in the container.

A method for supporting files in a walled storage container, the container having a predetermined length, width and height, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing at least one polyhedral file block comprising a plurality of walls joined to form at least a three sided, closed shape in which the walls are not adapted to change position relative to each other during use, the longest wall of the block being shorter than the width of the container, wherein the walls define an enclosed space with one of the walls being configured to open so that the enclosed space can store various items;
• placing files within the container;
• and
• placing the at least one file block in the container such that one wall of the file block abuts one of the files and such that an opposing wall of the file block abuts a supporting surface comprising one of the walls of the container, another file or another file block in the container.
