Patent ID: 8475226

Claim:
A plurality of modular members arranged for assembly and disassembly, each of the plurality of modular members comprising: a body structure having an internal chamber and defining a horizontal entrance to the internal chamber; and a substantially horizontal pathway surface arranged to transport an object from the internal chamber; wherein: the plurality of modular members are dimensionally similar; and the plurality of modular members comprises a coupling system having coupling components integral to the modular members for inter-securing the modular members, the coupling system defining structurally predetermined vertically offset coupled positions of coupled modular members wherein: a first modular member connected and horizontally adjacent to a second modular member has a coupled position that is vertically offset from the second modular member; a third modular member that is connected and horizontally adjacent to the second modular member has a coupled position that is vertically offset from the second modular member and selectively stackably arranged directly below the first modular member; and the respective substantially horizontal pathway surfaces of the first modular member and the second modular member are each aligned with the respective horizontal entrances of the second modular member and the third modular member to transport an object horizontally between respective modular members.
