Patent ID: 7591382

Claim:
A modular cosmetic storage system, comprising: at least one tray, each tray having a planar base with at least one wall extending perpendicularly and upwardly from said base defining an internal area; at least two parallel, spaced apart, grooves on a surface of said planar base, each said groove being spaced apart at a distance D from another groove; and at least two modular boxes, each modular box having a rectangular or square shape support base, said support base having first and second opposing sides, at least one wall extending perpendicularly and upwardly from said first side of said support base defining a storage area, and four legs extending perpendicularly and downwardly from said second side of said support base with one leg adjacent each corner of said support base, said support base of each said modular box is dimensioned nD by mD wherein n and m are whole numbers, and said internal area of each said tray is dimensioned xD by yD wherein x and y are whole numbers larger than n and m, respectively, wherein each of said four legs of said support base of each modular box cooperatively engages said grooves on said planar base such that each said modular box is abuttingly located within said internal area with said planar base of said tray being substantially parallel and equidistant from said support base of each modular box and one wall of each modular box abuts at least one wall of another modular box.
