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. The auxiliary boxes typically have bottoms and sheet type separators with tab/slot interlocks. The preferred material is light sheet metal. The auxiliary boxes optionally have drop-on or hinged lids which may have handles and latches which may be lockable. Retaining means such as bungee cords or a retractable roller-mounted flexible cover may be provided for the catalog trough. The assembly provides a system for keeping catalogs, order blanks, parts and samples neatly organized so that they do not become damaged, soiled or scrambled during transport, saving the sales or service representative valuable time. It also permits quick conversion of the vehicle to other uses by simply lifting out the modular components.
