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. Alternatively the rails mounted to the wall are utilized to support an existing cabinet in conjunction with adjustable legs.
Claims3
A storage unit kit for securing a storage unit to a vertical wall projected from a support floor, said storage unit having a bottom to be supported above the support floor, said storage unit kit comprising:
- a support rail attachable to the vertical wall and configured to provide a plurality of fastener mounting positions along its length;
- a fastener member attachable to said support rail at any of said plurality of mounting positions and configured for attachment to the storage unit for mounting said storage unit to said support rail in a horizontal orientation;
- and
- adjustable support members securable in spaced apart relation to the bottom of the storage unit and independently adjustable for independent engagement and support of the unit on the support floor for horizontal support of the storage unit regardless of the non-horizontal orientation of the support floor.
A storage unit kit for securing a storage unit to a vertical wall projected from a support floor, comprising:
- a support rail adapted for attachment to the vertical wall, said support rail having a C-shaped slot and a pair of bolts having head portions slidably captured in the C-shaped slot and adjustably positionable along the length of the support rail, and a shank portion of the bolts protruded out of the C-shaped slot;
- a pair of mounting brackets attachable to a storage unit and also attachable to the shank portion of the pair of bolts at selected positions of the bolts along the length of the support rail whereby the storage unit is mountable to the vertical wall.
