Patent ID: 8708433

Claim:
A storage system comprising: a first shell including: a first plurality of walls coupled to one another to form a first storage chamber therebetween and to define a first plurality of intersection edges, each of the first plurality of intersection edges being formed at a corresponding external boundary of two adjacent ones of the first plurality of walls, and a first plurality of rails, each of the first plurality of rails extending initially outwardly from a corresponding one of the first plurality of intersection edges as a single, solid, linear portion with an obliquely angled orientation relative to each of the two adjacent ones of the first plurality of walls, and each of the first plurality of rails is entirely formed radially outside outermost surfaces of the first plurality of walls, wherein a first external recess is formed by an outermost surface of one of the first plurality of walls and four of the first plurality of rails that are positioned adjacent the one of the first plurality of walls; and a second shell including: a second plurality of walls coupled to one another to form a second storage chamber therebetween and to define a second plurality of intersection edges, each of the second plurality of intersection edges being formed at a corresponding external boundary of two adjacent ones of the second plurality of walls, and a second plurality of rails, each of the second plurality of rails extending initially outwardly from a corresponding one of the second plurality of intersection edges as a second single, solid, linear portion having an obliquely angled orientation relative to each of the two adjacent ones of the second plurality of walls, and each of the second plurality of rails is entirely formed radially outside outermost surfaces of the second plurality of walls, wherein a second external recess is formed by an outermost surface of one of the second plurality of walls and four of the second plurality of rails that are posited adjacent the one of the second plurality of walls; wherein the second shell is coupled to the first shell via a clip interacting with each of the first shell and the second shell to maintain the four of the first plurality of rails adjacent the four of the second plurality of rails such that the first external recess and the second external recess are placed in communication with one another and the one of the first plurality of walls is maintained substantially parallel to and spaced from the one of the second plurality of walls.
