Abstract
A modular storage unit provided in kit form that is readily assembled, is securable to a vertical wall and is arranged to be supported on a floor. Rails are mounted to the wall and the framework of the storage unit is secured to the rails. Outer legs of the framework extend to the floor and adjusters are provided to compensate for slope or other variations in the floor. The components of the storage unit have holes or slots that facilitate assembly by the use of common fasteners. The storage unit is arranged to fit around obstructions such as footings so that the storage unit may be mounted basically flush to the wall.
Claims8
An easily assembled storage unit kit securable to a vertical support wall and supported on a non level floor surface, comprising:
- a pair of support rails having predetermined mounting positions and adapted for cooperative attachment to the vertical support wall with the mounting positions of each rail in horizontal alignment and the mounting positions of the two rails in parallel spaced apart relation;
- a framework having mounting positions mated to the mounting positions of the support rails for mounting the framework to said support rail at said mated mounting positions and independent of said floor surface and achieving thereby level orientation of the framework;
- and
- an adjustable bottom support on said framework, said support adjustable as between the level framework and the non level floor surface and thereby adding to the wall support cooperative support for the framework by said non level floor surface.
A system for installing shelving secured to a wall and supported on a non level floor surface comprising:
- a kit including rails, vertical support members, horizontal support members, panels, fasteners and adjustable support legs;
- a pair of said rails each having predetermined mounting positions and adapted to be horizontally mounted to the wall and said pair of rails mounted in spaced apart parallel relation;
- said vertical and horizontal support members having predetermined mounting positions for assembly by certain of the fasteners into a desired framework and the framework having cooperative mounting positions mountable at the predetermined mounting positions on the horizontally mounted rails in a level orientation and independent of said floor surface, and said panels mountable to the framework and said adjustable support legs mountable to said framework and extendable to said non level floor surface to cooperatively support said framework in a level condition on said wall and floor surface.
