Abstract
A ceiling mounted storage box which is reciprocable on vertical guide rails mounted on opposed walls of an enclosure. The box is raised and lowered by a rope threaded through an eyebolt attached to the ceiling. The eyebolt projects into the interior of the box. The end of the rope threaded through the eyebolt is fixed to the interior floor of the box, so by lowering or raising the rope through the eyebolt, the box is lowered or raised on the vertical guide rails.
