Vertical wall rack and variable shelf arrangement

Abstract

A storage system having a pair of parallel, spaced side braces and a plurality of interchangeable wire racks, shelves and baskets secured and suspended between the side braces. The side braces are mounted directly to a wall or other flat surface. The side braces are provided in interlocking sections and can be joined together to form a side brace as long as desired. Each side brace has a plurality of evenly spaced keyhole-shaped openings formed in an inner surface. The openings in one side brace are parallel to the openings in the other side brace. Each shelf, rack or basket has side extensions designed to engage the openings. Each side extension terminates in a retention means, for example a knob that engages and is secured in the opening. The rack, shelf or basket can be moved between openings to raise or lower the height of the unit.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
