Benefits of technology

The patent describes a drawer organizer that can be used as an office desk organizer or a kitchen organizer. It includes a peripheral sidewalk, floor, and several interior compartments that can be configured in different ways. The organizer also has slots around the edges and interior walls where dividers can be placed to hold items in place. It also has extendible arms that can be extended beyond the outer surface of the organizer and retracted within the organizer's perimeter. The technical effects of this patent are that it provides a versatile and customizable organizer that can be used for different purposes and in different locations.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the organizer may slide around within the drawer and the surrounding space is not compartmentalized, rendering it less useful than the segments within the organizer.
There is currently no acceptable solution for a drawer organizer that is configurable to fit within a variety of drawer sizes.

PRIORITY CLAIM[0001]This application claims the benefit of prior U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 250,279 tiled on Oct. 9, 2009, the contents of which are incorporated by reference,BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are many desk organizers having a variety of compartments for pens, paper clips, and other desk supplies. In most cases, the organizers are formed from plastic and are molded into a fixed arrangement of compartments for containing various items.

In order to accommodate the largest number of drawer sizes, a typical organizer is sized to be somewhat smaller than most drawers, often leaving a relatively large gap along the edges of the organizer. As a result, the organizer may slide around within the drawer and the surrounding space is not compartmentalized, rendering it less useful than the segments within the organizer. There is currently no acce...
