Abstract
A fully ceiling-suspended system and apparatus for storing different shapes/types of elongated objects. The system includes a minimum of only two separate brackets that are ceiling-mounted to form a storage apparatus that is capable of supporting elongated items of different lengths provided that the length of each item to be stored is at least the length of the distance that the two ceiling-suspended brackets are separated. Further, each of the brackets may include different pockets of storage space that may be used for holding/storing elongated items of different shapes or cross-sectional configurations.
Claims13
A system for storing elongated objects, comprising:
- a first bracket adapted to be suspended from a ceiling;
- a second bracket adapted to be suspended from said ceiling, said first and second brackets being separated by a first distance;
- wherein each one of said first and second brackets consists of only two sections:
- a first section having an L-shaped configuration;
- and
- a second section having a zig-zag shaped configuration, wherein said first section is fastened to said second section at a plurality of locations thereby forming a bracket having a plurality of cross member segments;
- and
- wherein the system is capable of storing elongated objects that are at least a length of said first distance.
A system for storing elongated objects, comprising:
- a first bracket adapted to be suspended from a ceiling;
- a second bracket adapted to be suspended from said ceiling, said first and second
- brackets being separated by a first distance;
- wherein each one of said first and second brackets consists of only two sections:
- a first section having an L-shaped configuration;
- and
- a second section having a zig-zag shaped configuration, wherein said first section is fastened to said second section at a plurality of locations;
- wherein the system is capable of storing elongated objects that are at least a length of said first distance;
- and
- wherein each of said first and second brackets includes a plurality of segments that form a plurality of pockets of storage space for use in storing said elongated objects having different shapes.
A method for storing elongated objects, the method comprising the steps of:
- suspending a first bracket from a ceiling;
- suspending a second bracket from said ceiling, said first and second brackets being separated by a first distance;
- wherein each one of said first and second brackets consists of only two sections:
- a first section having an L-shaped configuration;
- and
- a second section having a zig-zag shaped configuration, wherein said first section is fastened to said second section at a plurality of locations;
- wherein the system is capable of storing elongated objects that are at least a length of said first distance;
- and
- wherein each of said first and second brackets are configured to include a plurality of segments that form a plurality of pockets of storage space for use in storing said elongated objects having different shapes.
