Abstract:

A storage system generally comprising of one or more storage containers which form an array of storage containers for storing items and which include at least four edges. “Containers” within the context of this application is meant to encompass any four-edged container including boxes, bins, and/or totes. Each storage system is generally comprised of at least one storage unit which consists of at least one rail-type unit having a first and second end which attaches to a ceiling or wall, creating a hanging apparatus. Each rail-type unit consists of one or more parallel support rails; one or more inner adjacently parallel reinforcement rods that allow said rail-type unit to be attached to a ceiling or wall and one or more outer parallel reinforcement rods that provide stability and rigidity to said rail-type unit. Each parallel support rails are coupled to the inner and outer parallel reinforcement rods by a plurality of inverted u-shaped like brackets which provide stability and rigidity to the rail-type unit. The inner adjacently parallel reinforcement rods are coupled to the ceiling by a plurality of support screws whereby securely fixing said rail-type unit to the ceiling. Multiple rail-type units are then adjacently and appropriately positioned to support a horizontally or vertically oriented array of said storage containers. Typically, each four-edged storage container contains an upper lip that allows it to be securely but adjustably positioned on each parallel support rails of said multiple rail-type units, which allow one or more storage containers to adjustably and horizontally slide between the parallel support rails of multiple rail-type units.
