Abstract
A storage closet is disclosed that has a frame that supports a soft-sided storage unit. The frame is configured for ease of assembly. Some of the components may be packaged already assembled or at least partially assembled in subassemblies in order to reduce the difficulty of sorting. Moreover, the frame may be disposed externally relative to the soft-sided storage unit in order to reduce the potential for the frame to cause tears in the soft-sided storage unit.
Claims21
A storage closet comprising:
- a frame having a pair of legs connected at upper ends by an upper cross member, the upper cross member having a center beam extending between the pair of legs and at each end a pair of wings selectively foldable between a position generally parallel to the center beam and a position extending outward relative to the center beam;
- and
- a soft-sided storage unit configured to be supported by the frame.
A subassembly of a frame having legs and a cross beam for supporting a storage unit, the subassembly comprising:
- a wing connection member adapted to join one of the legs and the cross beam;
- and
- a plurality of wings pivotably attached to the wing connection member and moveable between positions generally parallel to each other and positions extending outwardly relative to each other, the plurality of wings be adapted to support the storage unit.
A storage closet comprising:
- a frame having a pair of legs connected at top portions by an upper cross member and connected at bottom portions by a lower cross member, a plurality of wings extending outwardly relative to the upper cross member;
- and
- a soft-sided storage unit, the soft sided storage unit having an upper panel disposed between the upper and lower cross members and hanging from at least some of the plurality of wings.
