  • an organizer case 10 of the present invention comprises a base plate 11 , an enclosure 12 , an encircling flange 13 and a plurality of protruding ribs 14 .
  • the base plate 11 is square in this embodiment, and further includes a rectangular shape, but is not limited to this shape and may include other shapes as well.
  • the enclosure 12 protrudes from and forms at a top surface of the base plate 11 , and extends along a perimeter of the base plate 11 to enclose the base plate.
  • the enclosure 12 extends and forms a rectangle, and has two opposing long sides and two opposing short sides;
  • the enclosure 12 has two groups of indentations concavely disposed on a top edge thereof, and the two groups of indentations are respectively disposed on two opposing sides of the enclosure 12 ; each of the group of indentations comprises two indentations 121 , and the two indentations 121 are disposed adjacent to the remaining two opposing sides of the enclosure 12 , respectively.
  • the two groups of indentations are respectively disposed on two long sides of the enclosure 12 , and the two indentations 121 of each group of indentations are disposed adjacent to two short sides of the enclosure 12 ; each of the indentations 121 extends to an outer wall surface and an inner wall surface of the enclosure 12 , that is, the indentations 121 extend and horizontally penetrate the enclosure 12 .
  • two indentations 121 A from the same group of indentations extend in parallel directions, wherein the two indentations 121 A from one group of indentations are respectively disposed on one same extended line L as two indentations 121 B from the other group of indentations.
  • an extending direction of each of the indentations 121 A is identical to that of each corresponding indentations 121 B from the other group of indentations, and positions of the indentations are aligned.
  • the encircling flange 13 protrudes from and forms at a bottom surface of the base plate 11 , and extends and encloses around the base plate; a shape forms by the extension and enclosing of the encircling flange 13 corresponds to a shape of the base plate 11 . So in this embodiment, the encircling flange 13 is also rectangular in shape; an outer diameter of the encircling flange 13 corresponds to an inner diameter of the enclosure 12 .
  • the plurality of protruding ribs 14 protrude from and form at a top surface of the base plate 11 and are located inside of the enclosure 12 ; the protruding ribs 14 have intervals spaced therebetween, and are almost fully distributed on the top surface of the base plate 11 .
  • a cross section of each of the protruding ribs 14 is semi-circular but is not limited to this shape; when objects are placed on the base plate 11 , the objects come into contact with the protruding ribs 14 without contacting the base plate 11 , which prevents the objects from adhering to the base plate 11 .
  • the organizer case when the organizer case 10 of the present invention is in use, the organizer case can be complemented with an case 20 having an encircling flange 21 on a bottom surface thereof or another organizer case 10 of the present invention.

  • a case 20 having an encircling flange 21 on a bottom surface thereof can be complemented with three of the organizer cases 10 of the present invention, and an area of the case 20 is precisely three times that of an area of one organizer case 10 .
  • a shape of the organizer case 10 of the present invention is not limited to a rectangle, and a shape of the case 20 is not limited to a square; as long as the enclosure 12 of the organizer case 10 has the indentations 121 formed thereon, and the indentations 121 correspond to the encircling flange 21 of the case 20 , the organizer case 10 can subsequently be designed as square bodies of different sizes, and the corresponding case 20 can also be designed as square bodies of different sizes, such that when the organizer case 10 is mutually stacked or arranged from left to right with the case 20 or another organizer case 10 of the present invention, the cases can be mutually stacked in diverse ways, thereby achieving the effect of flexibly stacking cases of different quantities and different sizes.
  • the organizer case 10 can be stacked under the case 20 , and the encircling flange 21 on the bottom surface of the case 20 will be pressed against one long side and two short sides of the enclosure 12 of the organizer case 10 , while also allowed to pass through and engage with two indentations 121 on the other long side of the enclosure 12 that is not pressed against. Consequently, the case 20 is stably placed on top of the organizer case 10 , and a height of the enclosure 12 prevents the bottom surface of the case 20 from contacting the objects inside of the organizer case 10 .
  • a group of indentations is disposed on two opposing sides, respectively, and thus even if the organizer case 10 is rotated 180 degrees horizontally, the organizer case can still be engaged and fixed by using another group of indentations and handily applied.
  • the organizer case 10 can also be stacked on top of the case 20 , and the encircling flange 13 underneath the organizer case 10 will be pressed against a perimeter at an opening of the case 20 , which enhances the stability of the two cases stacked together.
