Abstract

There is provided a stationary platform adapted to be positioned on a desk and having intersecting grooves formed on the top surface of the platform so that a plurality of blocks are formed. A plurality of structures are also provided having flanged rims or raised ribs on the bottom which are insertable into the platform grooves so that each structure is capable of bridging at least one raised block.

Claims

1. The combination of a stationary platform (1) and a plurality of structures (2 and 2'"'"'), said stationary platform (1) having a bottom surface, a top surface having evenly spaced intersection grooves (11) thereon forming a plurality of raised blocks (12) on said top surface, and a hollow space between the top and bottom surfaces which contains a heavy material (13) for providing stability to said platform being placed on a desk top, said plurality of structures (2 and 2'"'"') having means for holding desktop supplies and having flanged rims (21) at the bottom thereof and protruding therefrom, sized such that they are insertable into said grooves, said flanged rims being spaced from one another such that each structure is capable of bridging at least one raised block.

2. The combination according to claim 1 wherein said plurality of structures are formed having different sizes.

3. The combination according to claim 1 wherein said structures are rectangular.

4. The combination according to claim 1 wherein at least one of said structures has a closed top.

5. The combination according to claim 1 which further includes structures having a raised rib on the bottom thereof insertable into said grooves.

6. The combination according to claim 1 wherein the spaced intersection grooves on the top surface of said stationary platform form a plurality of cross intersections and said combination further includes structures having intersecting raised ribs on the bottom thereof which are insertable into the cross intersections of the grooves on the top surface of said stationary platform.

7. The combination of a stationary platform and a plurality of structures, said stationary platform having a bottom surface, a top surface having evenly spaced intersection grooves thereon forming a plurality of raised blocks on said top surface, and a hollow space between the top and bottom surfaces which contains a heavy material for providing stability to said platform being placed on a desk top, said plurality of structures each having means for holding desktop supplies and having a flanged rim at the bottom thereof and protruding therefrom, sized so as to be insertable into said grooves.
