Storage case organizational system

Abstract

An organizer system for use with a case including a base and a lid configured to be matingly coupled together for containing an object therein is disclosed. The organizer system includes a panel system including at least one panel, the at least one panel including a plurality of cutouts formed therein, and a plurality of mounting blocks, each one of the plurality of mounting blocks including a block body and at least one stud. The stud is configured to be removably insertable into one of the plurality of cutouts. When the mounting blocks are inserted into the cutouts adjacent to the object then the base and the lid are coupled together, the panel system and the mounting blocks cooperate to prevent shifting of the object within the case. A method for storing an object in a case using an organizer system is also disclosed.

         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . The organizer system of  claim 1 , wherein the panel system and the plurality of mounting blocks are formed of a material having a melting point above 200 degrees Fahrenheit. 
     
     
         5 . The organizer system of  claim 1 , wherein, when the object is replaced with a different, second object, the plurality of mounting blocks are further configured to be insertable into the plurality of cutouts adjacent to the second object such that the panel system and the plurality of mounting blocks cooperate to prevent shifting of the second object within the case when the base and the lid are coupled together. 
     
     
         6 . The organizer system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one stud is configured to be retained within one of the plurality of cutouts by friction fit. 
     
     
         7 . The organizer system of  claim 6 , wherein the block body of a first one of the plurality of mounting blocks includes an opening configured for receiving therein the stud of a second one of the plurality of mounting blocks. 
     
     
         8 . The organizer system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of mounting blocks is a storage block including a storage volume. 
     
     
         9 . The organizer system of  claim 8 , further comprising a removable lid configured for cooperating with the storage block to enclose the storage volume. 
     
     
         10 . The organizer system of  claim 9 , wherein the removable lid is removably attached to the storage block by at least one of friction fit and snap fit. 
     
     
         11 . The organizer system of  claim 9 ,
 wherein the removable lid includes a lip feature, the lip feature being configured to cooperate with the at least one stud of a second storage block to prevent lateral movement of the second storage block when stacked onto the removable lid with the lip feature.   
     
     
         12 . The organizer system of  claim 1 , wherein the panel system is installed into an internal volume of the case by at least one of friction fit, adhesive, and hook-and-loop closure device. 
     
     
         13 . The organizer system of  claim 1 , wherein each one of the plurality of cutouts is formed as an opening shaped generally as at least one of a square, a rectangle, a circle, a triangle, a diamond, and a hexagon. 
     
     
         14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . An organizer system for use with a case including a base and a lid configured to be matingly coupled together for containing an object therein, the organizer system comprising:
 a panel system including at least one panel, the at least one panel including a plurality of cutouts formed therein; and   a plurality of mounting blocks, each one of the plurality of mounting blocks including a block body and at least one stud,   wherein the at least one stud is configured to be removably insertable into one of the plurality of cutouts,   wherein, when the plurality of mounting blocks are inserted into the plurality of cutouts adjacent to the object then the base and the lid are coupled together, the panel system and the plurality of mounting blocks cooperate to prevent shifting of the object within the case,   wherein the at least one stud is configured to be retained within one of the plurality of cutouts by friction fit, wherein the block body of a first one of the plurality of mounting blocks includes an opening configured for receiving therein the stud of a second one of the plurality of mounting blocks.
