Abstract
This is a multi-purpose, low-profile desk accessory in which a horizontally oriented flat base sheet is formed with upstanding walls which define a plurality of shallow storage wells, including one for the storage for a roll of tape which is horizontally oriented, and another for the storage of a flat stack of unbound note paper. Suitable means are provided for twisting the tape 90.degree. as it comes off the tape roll. Above these shallow storage wells are upper decks which provide additional storage space, some of which is specifically dedicated to such office implements as a ring-bound calendar, and possibly an ash tray or card file. Alongside the shallow lower level and upper level storage facilities is an elevated structure which includes deep wells for the storage of paper clips and similar desk implements, and another deep well for storing elongated writing instruments such as pens and pencils in a horizontal attitude. The latter has a special floor shape which tilts the pens and pencils upwardly so that they can be easily grasped and removed for use.
