Patent ID: 8556112

Claim:
An adapter plate for a storage module adapter assembly configured to be positioned on a support surface of a modular container, comprising: first and second longitudinal frame members, each of the first and second longitudinal frame members having a generally horizontal flange member that extends an entire length of a top portion thereof, said first longitudinal frame member having a first height, and said second longitudinal frame member having a second height, wherein said first and second longitudinal frame members are configured so that said adapter plate is positionable adjacent at least one of an identical second adapter plate along a support surface of a modular container so that the horizontal flange member of the first longitudinal frame member of the adapter plate overlaps the horizontal flange member of the second longitudinal frame member of the second adapter plate in adjacent nested relationship to thereby enable connection of the two adapter plates together on the support surface in a manner restraining relative vertical and horizontal movement between the adapter plates and with the respective flange members in nested relationship.
