Abstract
A storage apparatus attachable to a surface includes a polygonal support frame having first, second, third, and fourth support beams, a plurality of cross beams, and a plurality of suspension legs. In one embodiment, the storage apparatus further includes racks supported on at least a portion of the support beams and defining a first series of racks aligned transverse to a longitudinal axis and a second series of racks aligned along the longitudinal axis with the first series of racks being removable during adjustment of the first and second support beams and the second series of racks being removable during adjustment of the third and fourth support beams.
Claims29
A storage apparatus attachable to a surface, said storage apparatus comprising:
- a polygonal support frame having:
- a first support beam defining a longitudinal axis and being adjustable along said longitudinal axis between a first length and a second length;
- a second support beam spaced from said first support beam with said second support beam extending along said longitudinal axis and being adjustable along said longitudinal axis between said first and second lengths;
- a third support beam extending transverse to said longitudinal axis and being adjustable between a first width and a second width;
- and
- a fourth support beam spaced from said third support beam with said fourth support beam extending transverse to said longitudinal axis and being adjustable between said first and second widths;
- a plurality of cross beams each coupled to at least one of said support beams;
- a plurality of suspension legs coupled to and extending away from at least two of said support beams for coupling to the surface;
- and
- a plurality of racks each supported on at least a portion of said support beams with said plurality of racks defining a first series of racks aligned transverse to said longitudinal axis and a second series of racks aligned along said longitudinal axis with said first series being removable during said adjustment of said first and second support beams along said longitudinal axis, and said second series being removable during said adjustment of said third and fourth support beams transverse to said longitudinal axis.
A storage apparatus attachable to a surface, said storage apparatus comprising:
- a polygonal support frame having:
- a first support beam defining a longitudinal axis and being adjustable along said longitudinal axis between a first length and a second length;
- a second support beam extending along said longitudinal axis and being adjustable along said longitudinal axis between said first and second lengths;
- a third support beam extending transverse to said longitudinal axis;
- and
- a fourth support beam spaced from said third support beam and extending transverse to said longitudinal axis;
- a plurality of cross beams each coupled to at least one of said support beams;
- a plurality of suspension legs coupled to and extending away from at least two of said support beams for coupling to the surface;
- and
- a plurality of rack segments supported on at least a portion of said support beams and said cross beams with said rack segments being removable during said adjustment along said longitudinal axis;
- and
- wherein said first support beam has first and second predefined mounting locations along said first support beam with said first mounting location defining an extended position of said first support beam having said first length and said second mounting location defining an adjusted position of said first support beam having said second length, and wherein said second support beam has third and fourth predefined mounting locations along said second support beam with said third mounting location defining an extended position of said second support beam having said first length and said fourth mounting location defining an adjusted position of said second support beam having said second length, and
- fasteners disposed only through said first and second support beams at said first and third mounting locations when said first and second support beams are in said extended position, and disposed only through said first and second support beams at said second and fourth mounting locations when said first and second support beams are in said adjusted position.
A storage apparatus attachable to a surface, said storage apparatus comprising:
- a polygonal support frame having:
- a first support beam defining a longitudinal axis with said first support beam defining a plurality of slots at predetermined positions along said first support beam;
- a second support beam extending along said longitudinal axis with said second support beam defining a plurality of slots at predetermined positions along said second support beam;
- a third support beam extending transverse to said longitudinal axis;
- and
- a fourth support beam spaced from said third support beam and extending transverse to said longitudinal axis;
- a rack supported on said support frame;
- a plurality of suspension legs coupled to and extending away from at least two of said support beams for coupling to the surface;
- and
- a plurality of cross beams each having first and second cross beam ends with each cross beam having a first tab coupled to an associated first cross beam end and insertable into a respective one of said first slots to mount said cross beam to said first support beam and each cross beam further having a second tab coupled to an associated second cross beam end and insertable into a respective one of said second slots to mount said cross beam to said second support beam.
