Patent number: 11026508Abstract: A customizable, reliable, and secure desktop organizer is provided having a base, a first receptacle, and a second receptacle. Each of the receptacles includes a set of sockets that are configured to receive one or more magnets. The magnets of the receptacles are equidistantly spaced apart from one another at the same distance as the magnets disposed within the base. Thus, when the receptacles are brought into proximity with the base, the magnets of the receptacles and the base are magnetically attracted to one another, securing the receptacles to the base. Because the magnets of the base are spaced apart at the same distance as the magnets of the receptacles, when coupled to one another, the receptacles are automatically aligned into proper position with respect to the base.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Equiper, LLCInventors: Kevin Lehoe, Meredith Hiltbrand Lehoe
