Abstract
A storage system for storing items along a ceiling, having a container and supporting framework mounted to the ceiling. The container has a flange. The supporting framework has four frame members each including an elongated track, including two top frame members which extend downwardly from the ceiling and two bottom frame members. The flange is selectively supported by the bottom frame members with a pair of L-shaped mounting supports attached to the bottom frame members. A pair of scizzor assemblies, each having two scizzor members hingedly connected, couples to the top and bottom frame members and easily raises and lowers the bottom frame members to lift and lower the container.

A storage system for storing items along a ceiling, using a container having a flange, comprising:
- supporting framework for mounting to the ceiling having four frame members each including an elongated track, including two top frame members which extend downwardly from the ceiling and two bottom frame members, the bottom frame members each having an L-shaped mounting support which together selectively cradles the container by supporting the flange;
- a pair of scizzor assemblies, each scizzor assembly having two scizzor members which are hingedly connected and together couple the top and bottom frame members to selectively raise and lower the bottom frame members to selectively raise the container toward the ceiling for storage and selectively lower the container downwardly to allow removal of the container from the bottom frame members.
