Abstract:
1. A modular stage prop system comprising: a first stage prop that comprises a first stepping surface and a plurality of first side surfaces extending from the first stepping surface and having a proximal end adjacent to the first stepping surface and a distal end opposite the first stepping surface, wherein the first stepping surface and the plurality of first side surfaces define a first partial enclosure in which an object may be stored, and wherein at least one of the plurality of first side surfaces of said first stage prop has a first locking member; and a second stage prop that comprises a second stepping surface and a plurality of second side surfaces extending from the second stepping surface and having a proximal end adjacent to the second stepping surface and a distal end opposite the second stepping surface, wherein the second stepping surface and the plurality of second side surfaces define a second partial enclosure in which an object may be stored, wherein at least one of second side surfaces of said second stage prop has a second locking member, and wherein the first and second locking members are located at the same distances from the distal ends of the first and second side surfaces, respectively, such that when the first and second side surfaces are proximate each other, the first locking member is capable of engaging the second locking member sideways thereby retaining the first stage prop and the second stage prop in a stationary relationship with respect to each other.
