Patent ID: 7083057

Claim:
An article organizer assembly, the article organizer assembly for enabling a user to spatially situate substantially planar articles and substantially three-dimensional articles adjacent one another for organizing the same, the article organizer assembly comprising: a substantially planar base member, the base member comprising a first base end, a second base end, a superior base surface, an inferior base surface, and a base length, the first base end comprising a first aperture pairing and the second base end comprising a second aperture pairing, the first and second aperture pairings each comprising first and second post-receiving apertures, each post-receiving aperture having a longitudinal aperture axis, the longitudinal aperture axes being orthogonal to the base member, the first and second post-receiving apertures of each aperture pairing being substantially equally spaced from one another; first and second extension coil members, each extension coil member comprising a first and second coil member ends, helical structure, a relaxed equilibrium state, a tensioned equilibrium state, and a longitudinal coil axis, each coil member end comprising a post-receiving ring, each post-receiving ring comprising a longitudinal ring axis, the coil axes being orthogonal to the ring axes, the relaxed equilibrium state coinciding with a relaxed coil length, the tensioned equilibrium state coinciding with a tensioned coil length; and first and second post pairs, each post pair comprising first and second posts, each post comprising an inferior post end, a superior post end, and a longitudinal post axis, the first posts being received in the first post-receiving apertures and the second posts being received in the second post-receiving apertures, the first and second extension coil members being tensioned from the relaxed equilibrium state to the tensioned equilibrium state thus forming article-receiving gaps intermediate the first and second post-receiving rings of each coil member, the first and second coil ends of the first and second coil members being received by the superior post ends of the first and second posts at the first and second base ends, the ring axes being substantially collinear with the aperture axes, the posts for maintaining the tensioned equilibrium state, the tensioned coil lengths being substantially equal in magnitude to the base length, the first and second extension coil members being substantially parallel to one another, the article-receiving gaps of the substantially parallel extension coil members being cooperable to receive and organize substantially planar articles, the planar articles being substantially orthogonal to the base member, the helical structures of the substantially parallel extension coil members being cooperable to corral three-dimensional articles intermediate the extension coils at the superior base surface.
