Claim 1 is representative of the invention, and is reproduced as follows:
1. A modular organizing system for storing and displaying objects, the
modular organizing system comprising:
a first modular storage unit comprising a top wall, a bottom wall, a back
wall, and a pair of opposing sidewalls coupled to the top wall and the bottom wall,
with a mating depression on the top wall or the bottom wall and a mating rib on the
top wall or bottom wall without the mating depression, wherein the back wall
comprises at least one hanging device and is adapted to enclose at least a portion of
the area formed by the top wall, bottom wall, and opposing sidewalls; and
a second modular storage unit comprising a top wall, a bottom wall and a
pair of opposing side wall coupled to the top wall and bottom wall, with a mating
depression on the top wall or bottom wall and a mating rib on the top wall or
bottom wall without the mating depression,
wherein the mating depressions and the mating ribs are adapted to interact
thereby allowing the modular storage units to be stacked.
