A container for storing at least one article, the container including opposite front and rear walls, and opposite left and right walls, each of the walls being provided with an inner surface and an outer surface, and having an upper rim. The container also includes a bottom floor. The walls and bottom floor are operatively connected to one another so as to define a main storing space within the container for storing the at least one article. An important aspect of the present invention lies in the fact that the rear wall of the container includes a tongue extending longitudinally along the upper rim of the rear wall, the tongue further extending downwardly from the upper rim of the rear wall and being shaped and sized for hooking the container onto a fixed structure via the tongue.

The invention claimed is: 1. A container for storing at least one article, the container comprising: opposite front and rear walls, each of said walls being provided with an inner surface and an outer surface, and having an upper rim, the upper rim of the front wall extending outward therefrom and having an underside; opposite left and right walls, each of said walls being provided with an inner surface and an outer surface, and having an upper rim; a bottom floor having an inner surface and an outer surface; wherein the walls and bottom floor are operatively connected to one another to define a main storing space within the container for storing said at least one article; a tongue extending longitudinally along the upper rim of the rear wall, said tongue further extending downwardly from said upper rim of the rear wall; and a hook projecting outward from the tongue away from the rear wall, the tongue being shaped and sized for hooking onto the underside of the upper rim of the front wall of another container. 2. A container according to claim 1, wherein the container comprises at least one separator, said at least one separator being shaped and sized for inserting into the main storing space of the container for dividing said main storing space into a pair of corresponding smaller storing spaces, the at least one separator being connectable onto opposite walls of the container. 3. A container according to claim 2, wherein each opposite wall comprises a slot for receiving a bottom portion of the at least one separator and a groove for receiving an upper portion of the at least one separator. 4. A container according to claim to claim 3, wherein the at least one separator comprises a pair of inserts on opposite upper portions for inserting into corresponding grooves of the opposite walls, said inserts being complementary in shape to that of the grooves. 5. A container according to claim 4, wherein the grooves are triangular-shaped. 6. A container according to claim 2, wherein the at least one separator comprises an upper rim, the upper rim of the at least one separator being positioned at a higher lever than the upper rim of the front, left and right walls. 7. A container according to claim 2, wherein the at least one separator comprises first and second separators, the first separator being connectable onto the front and rear walls of the container, and the second separator being connectable onto the left and right walls of the container. 8. A container according to claim 7, wherein the first and second separators are each provided with a slit, the slit of the first separator being complementary to the slit of the second separator so as to enable said separators to be crossed into one another within the main storing space of the container so as to define four smaller storing spaces. 9. A container according to claim 1, wherein the upper rim of the rear wall is positioned at a higher lever than the upper rim of the front, left and right walls. 10. A container according to claim 9, wherein the upper rim of the rear wall is slanted rearwardly so as to define an inclined surface. 11. A container according to claim 1, wherein the front and rear walls, and the left and right walls, are operatively connected to the bottom floor of the container via rounded corners. 12. A container according to claim 1, wherein the front and rear walls, and the left and right walls, are operatively connected to one another so as to define an upper peripheral rim of the container and an opposite bottom peripheral rim of the container, the upper peripheral rim being shaped and sized to as to be complementary to the bottom peripheral rim so as to enable a plurality of containers to be stacked onto and nested into one another. 13. A container according to claim 12, wherein the bottom peripheral rim of the container is rectangular-shaped with four corners, each of said corners being provided with a corresponding leg. 14. A container according to claim 1, wherein either one of the outer surfaces of the front, rear, left and right walls is provided with at least one rib projecting from therefrom. 15. A container according to claim 2, wherein the at least one separator is provided with an embossment flange projecting from and extending along a portion of said at least one separator. 16. A container for storing at least one article, the container comprising: opposite front and rear walls, each of said walls being provided with an inner surface and an outer surface, and having an upper rim, the upper rim of the front wall extending outward therefrom and having an underside; opposite left and right walls, each of said walls being provided with an inner surface and an outer surface, and having an upper rim; and a bottom floor having an inner surface and an outer surface; wherein the walls and bottom floor are operatively connected to one another so as to define a main storing space within the container for storing said at least one article; wherein the rear wall of the container comprises a tongue extending longitudinally along the upper rim of the rear wall, said tongue further extending downwardly from said upper rim of the rear wall and being shaped and sized for hooking the container onto a fixed structure via said tongue; wherein the tongue is provided with a hook projecting outward from the tongue and away from the rear wall, which is shaped and sized for hooking onto the underside of the upper rim of the front wall of another container; wherein the container further comprises first and second separators, the first separator being connectable onto the front and rear walls of the container, and the second separator being connectable onto the left and right walls of the container, the first and second separators being each provided with a slit, the slit of the first separator being complementary to the slit of the second separator so as to enable said separators to be crossed into one another within the main storing space of the container so as to divide said main storing space into four smaller storing spaces; wherein each wall comprises a slot for receiving a bottom portion of a corresponding separator and a groove for receiving an upper portion of said corresponding separator; wherein each separator comprises a pair of inserts on opposite upper portions for inserting into corresponding grooves of opposite walls, said inserts being complementary in shape to that of the corresponding grooves, and said corresponding grooves being triangular-shaped; wherein the second separator comprises an upper rim, the upper rim of the second separator being positioned at a higher lever than the upper rim of the front, left and right walls; wherein the upper rim of the rear wall is positioned at a higher lever than the upper rim of the front, left and right walls; wherein the front and rear walls, and the left and right walls, are operatively connected to the bottom floor of the container via rounded corners; and wherein either one of the outer surfaces of the front, rear, left and right walls is provided with at least one rib projecting therefrom. 17.
