Universal hand-held organizer system

Abstract

A housing has a rear face, side faces and upper and lower edges. The housing has a front rectangular opening. A cover plate has upper and lower edges. The cover plate is adapted to be slidably received by the housing. In this manner a major chamber is created. A shelf is slidably received in the major chamber. In this manner a lower chamber is defined there below and an upper chamber there above. A base is formed of a planar lower face. An upstanding exterior peripheral wall and an upstanding interior wall define a recess. The recess is shaped to receive lower edges of the housing and the cover plate. A cushion is positioned in the upper chamber. A rear wall is positioned against the housing. The front face is positioned against the cover plate. A bottom wall is positioned on the shelf.

1 . A universal hand-held organizer system comprising:
 a housing a rear face and side faces with upper and lower edges and with a front rectangular opening;   a cover plate with upper and lower edges adapted to be slidably received by the housing to create a major chamber;   a shelf slidably received in the major chamber to define a lower chamber there below and an upper chamber there above; and,   a base formed of a planar lower face with an upstanding exterior peripheral wall and an upstanding interior wall defining a recess shaped to receive lower edges of the housing and the cover plate.   
   
   
       2 . The system as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the system further includes a cushion positioned in the upper chamber with a rear wall positioned against housing and a front face positioned against the cover plate and a bottom wall positioned on the shelf. 
   
   
       3 . The system as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the shelf has a front face integrally formed with the cover plate to define the lower chamber there below and the upper chamber there above, the upper chamber being between about two and five times larger than the lower chamber. 
   
   
       4 . The system as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the shelf has a periphery formed separate from the housing and the cover plate to define the lower chamber there below and the upper chamber there above. 
   
   
       5 . The system as set forth in  claim 4  wherein the shelf includes two cylindrical recesses with cylindrical weights positionable in the cylindrical recesses, the cylindrical recesses extending downwardly for positioning on the base. 
   
   
       6 . The system as set forth in  claim 1  and further including a plurality of larger stickers and smaller stickers adapted to be secured to the exterior surfaces of the housing and the cover plate for decorative and advertising purposes. 
   
   
       7 . The system as set forth in  claim 1  wherein the base has a periphery formed at an angle of about  30  degrees from the vertical whereby a V-shaped channel is formed between two housings when joined by a coupler, the channel being wider at the top than at the bottom, for the passage of wires from hand-held devices supported by the cushion. 
   
   
       8 . A universal hand-held organizer system for organizing, storage and charging facilitation of hand-held organizer devices in a convenient and economic manner comprising, in combination:
 a housing having a convex rear face with an upper edge and a lower edge with side edges between the upper and lower edges, the housing also having concave side faces with upper edges and lower edges with interior side edges integrally formed with the side edges of the rear face and exterior side edges configured with rectangularly shaped edges facing each other to define a front rectangular opening, the upper and lower edges of the housing and the side faces being separated by a common first height;   a concave cover plate with an upper edge and a lower edge and side edges in an L-shaped configuration, the side edges adapted to be slidably received adjacent to the rectangular shaped edges of the housing to thereby create a generally cylindrically shaped major chamber between the housing and the cover plate, the upper and lower edges of the cover plate being separated by a common second height less than the first height;   a shelf having a peripheral edge configured to be slidably received in the major chamber, the peripheral edge including arcuate sides with a plurality of inwardly extending semi-circular openings, the side faces of the housing including a plurality of inwardly extending semi-circular projections slidably receivable within the semi-circular openings of the shelf, the side faces of the housing including a plurality of outwardly extending semi-circular slots correlated with the semi-circular openings, the shelf having a concave rear face positionable adjacent to the rear face of the housing and a convex front face integrally formed with the cover plate to define a lower chamber there below and an upper chamber there above, the upper chamber being between about two and five times larger than the lower chamber, the housing and cover plate and the shelf being fabricated of a rigid material selected from the class of rigid materials including metal and plastic;   a plurality of similarly configured couplers, each coupler having spaced edges with a semi-circular configuration and adapted to be slidably received in the semi-circular slots of the housing for allowing separably coupling a plurality of housings in any of a variety of configurations in groups and singly;   a base formed of a planar lower face with an upstanding exterior peripheral wall and an upstanding interior wall defining a recess shaped to receive the lower edges of the housing and the cover plate, the base being fabricated of a resilient material selected from the class of resilient materials including plastic and rubber, natural and synthetic, and blends thereof; and   a cushion fabricated of a closed cell polyurethane foam positioned in the upper chamber with a rear wall positioned against housing and a front face positioned against the cover plate and a bottom wall positioned on the shelf, the cushion forming a reception area adapted to removably receive and retain hand-held devices selected from the class of hand-held devices including cell phones, I-Pods™, MP-3s, PDA's, Blackberries and other wireless communication devices, an upper aperture formed in the bottom wall and an aligned lower aperture formed in the shelf and a complementary aperture formed in the housing between the lower chamber and exterior for the passage of wires from the hand-held devices.
