Modular storage apparatus
First Claim
1. A modular storage apparatus comprising a first outer wall and second outer wall where each outer wall has a front end and a rear end, where said first outer wall and said second outer wall are joined, at their rear end, with a rear wall so that the combination said first outer wall, said second outer wall, and said rear wall forms a partial receptacle;
- one or more interior wall members arranged between said first outer wall and said second outer wall where each interior wall member extends in substantially parallel fashion, from said rear wall to the front end of each outer wall;
a bottom surface attached to said first outer wall, said second outer wall, said rear wall, and said interior member, where said bottom surface is configured to align with, and attach to, a vehicle attachment means;
a top surface configured to align with said first outer wall, said second outer wall, and said rear wall so as to form an enclosure there between and reversibly attach thereto;
one or more compartments where each compartment has a front end and a rear end and each fits between an opposing pair of interior wall members and is actuated between an open position, where the rear end of said compartment is in proximity with said rear wall and the front end of said compartment aligns with said first outer wall, said second outer wall, said bottom surface, and said top surface to form an enclosure there between, and a closed position, where the rear end of said compartment is in proximity with said front end of said first outer wall and said second outer wall and said compartment front end extends from said base member so as to expose the interior of said compartment.

Abstract
A modular storage apparatus having a base member comprised of an outer shell and an interior support frame. The outer shell has a bottom surface configured to attach to the tie down bolts of a rear seating support of a typical Sports Utility Vehicle. A top surface may be reversibly inset within lateral support walls to serve as a base for cargo contained in various attachments. One or more compartments contained within the outer shell may be actuated between an open and closed position by sliding each compartment along an opposing pair of interior support frame members. The outer shell, in combination with moveable magnets and threaded engagement means, provides support for various cargo containing attachment members.
