Adaptable vertical organizer

Abstract

An adjustable vertical organizer having a frame with at least one vertically aligned divider detachably secured thereto is disclosed. The frame is preferably open at the top and includes one or more substantially planar vertical dividers therein that are parrallelly aligned with the front side and backside of the organizer. More preferably, a plurality of dividers are provided, each spaced apart from the other by a defined distance. Accordingly, paper, documents, folders and the like may be held substantially vertically in the vertical organizer when placed in the space between adjacent dividers, and if additional space between dividers is needed one or more of the dividers may be detached from the organizer.

1 . A vertical organizer comprising: 
 a frame having a front side, a back side, a bottom and an open top portion;    a substantially planar divider detachably secured to the frame, said divider aligned substantially vertically so as to define an area for storing documents substantially vertically within the organizer.    
   
   
       2 . The vertical organizer of  claim 1 , further including a second planar divider detachably secured to the frame, said second planar divider and said planar divider spaced apart from each other and aligned substantially parallel to each other so as to define a plurality of areas for storing documents substantially vertically within the organizer.  
   
   
       3 . The vertical organizer of  claim 2 , wherein one of the first planar divider and planar divider is removed from the vertical organizer to define a large area for storing documents substantially vertical within the organizer.  
   
   
       4 . The vertical organizer of  claim 1 , wherein said organizer has an upwardly sloping top surface with respect to the front side to the back side of the frame.  
   
   
       5 . The vertical organizer of  claim 4 , further including a floor of the organizer, said floor aligned substantially parallel with the upwardly sloping top surface of the vertical organizer.  
   
   
       6 . The vertical organizer of  claim 1 , wherein said substantially planar divider is detachably secured to the frame with a pair of spaced apart protrusions defining a slot for receiving the substantially planar divider therein.  
   
   
       7 . The vertical organizer of  claim 6 , further including a plurality of said pair of spaced apart protrusions aligned substantially vertically along said left side and said right side of said frame, thereby defining an elongate slot on said left side and said right side for detachably receiving said divider therein.  
   
   
       8 . The vertical organizer of  claim 1 , wherein said frame and said divider are formed with sheets of substantially planar metal.  
   
   
       9 . The vertical organizer of  claim 8 , wherein said frame is formed with a sheet of substantially planar metal bent to form a substantially rectangular box having and upwardly sloping top surface.  
   
   
       10 . The vertical organizer of  claim 8 , wherein said substantially planar divider is detachably secured to the frame with a pair of spaced apart protrusions defining a slot for receiving the substantially planar divider therein, said pair of spaced apart protrusions machine stamped into the substantially planar metal.
