Under work surface organizer

An organizing system for use with a structure having a pair of spaced, vertical support members, comprising:

• a first hinge plate having a knuckle portion and an elongated portion, said elongated portion adapted to be secured to one of said support members;
• a second hinge plate having a knuckle portion and an elongated portion;
• said elongated portion of said second hinge plate adapted to be secured to the other of said support members;
• a first elongated guide member, said first guide member including a knuckle portion adjacent one end thereof;
• a second elongated guide member, said second guide member including a knuckle portion adjacent one end thereof;
• a pair of hinge pins, one pin being inserted through the knuckle of said first hinge plate and the knuckle of said first guide member, the other pin being inserted through the knuckle of said second hinge plate and the knuckle of said second guide member whereby said guide members are pivotable from a closed position in a plane perpendicular to said support members to an open position through an angle at least equal to 90.degree.;
• a first storage module;
• first means received on said first guide member for supporting said first storage module for sliding extension and retraction;
• a second storage module;
• and
• second means received on said second guide member for supporting said second storage module for sliding extension and retraction.

An organizing system for use with a work surface, said system including a storage module adapted for movement between a storage position generally beneath and to the rear of said work surface thereby providing unrestricted knee clearance and permitting unobstructed lateral movement beneath the work surface and a retrieval position generally toward the front of said work surface providing easy access to said storage module, said system further comprising:

• a vertical support plate;
• an elongated member hingedly supported at one end thereof to said vertical support plate in a vertical plane generally beneath said work surface at a point spaced from the rear vertical plane of said work surface;
• and
• means received on said elongated member for supporting said storage module for extension and retraction on said elongated member.

An organizing system for use with a work surface, said system including a storage module adapted for movement between a storage position generally beneath and to the rear of said work surface thereby providing unrestricted knee clearance and permitting unobstructed lateral movement beneath the work surface and a retrieval position generally toward the front of said work surface providing easy access to said storage nodule, said system further comprising:

• an elongated member hingedly supported generally beneath said work surface at a point spaced from the rear vertical plane of said work surfaces;
• means receivable on said elongated member for supporting said storage module for extension and retraction on said elongated member;
• a vertical support plate;
• and
• hinge means for hingedly connecting said elongated member to the forward lateral edge of said vertical support plate, said supporting means comprising a generally channel-shaped member having a vertical planar portion and outwardly directed side portions integral with said planar portion, said side portions being vertically spaced so that said channel-shaped member is telescopingly positionable on said elongated member, said supporting means further comprising an outer panel secured to said channel-shaped member along the longitudinal edges of said side portions thereby defining a housing telescopingly receivable on said elongated member.
