Abstract: A modular storage and organizing system for vehicles including a plurality of generally box-shaped units and a length-wise and depth-wise expandable floor rack for restraining the units from undesired movement during vehicle operation. The box units include a main trough box unit, a hanging file box unit, a storage box unit, and an auxiliary box unit. Each box-shaped unit, includes a plurality of walls having a front panel, a rear panel spaced away from the front panel, a pair of opposed side panels spaced away from each other and connecting the front and the rear panels. At least one panel of each box unit, other than the auxiliary box unit, has an unflanged top edge. Each box-shaped unit, includes at least one panel having a generally candy-cane or semicircular shaped top flange for removably engaging the unflanged top edge of a panel of another box unit. The floor rack is disposed onto a floor or a seating surface of the vehicle, with the box units disposed onto the rack.

Abstract: A universal modular vehicle organizer assembly particularly useful for car trunks and van backs to retain in an organized fashion sales literature, catalogs, samples and parts for use by sales and repair people. The system comprises at least one trough-like angular shelf member supported on at least a pair of upstanding end walls and having sheet dividers with tabs that interlock in slots provided in the trough walls. The end walls have hand holds for ease in removing the unit from the vehicle trunk. Lips provided along the leading edge and back edge of the trough, and at the upper edge of the side walls engagingly retain special auxiliary boxes which are generally rectangular in shape with a higher rear wall that has the same vertical dimension as from the bottom of the trough organizer to the underside of the lip. The auxiliary boxes may have hand holds in their short end walls and one in the back wall which is aligned with the hand hold in the side support wall of the trough member.
