Storage device

Claim 2

A partitionable container for removably storing a plurality of articles in separate readily erectable compartments comprising a bottom wall, a rear wall, a top wall and opposite outer sidewalls including vertical slots formed in the opposing inner surfaces thereof, at least one vertically adjustable shelf including tabs projecting outward from the shelf sides into said vertical slots, first shelf support means for supporting said at least one shelf at a selected height, and second shelf support means for insertion into said vertical slots beneath said tabs and cooperating with said first shelf support means for supporting said shelf at said selected height.

Claim 3

The partitionable container of claim 1 wherein said rear wall includes at least one column of a plurality of vertically aligned apertures, wherein said at least one shelf further includes a cavity formed in its rear edge, and wherein said first shelf support means comprises at least one rear support pin insertable through a selected rear wall aperture into said shelf rear edge cavity.

Claim 4

The partitionable container of claim 1 wherein said second shelf support means comprises a resilient semi-rigid plastic support strip.

Claim 5

The partitionable container of claim 3 wherein said support strip includes a longitudinal fold seam facilitating digital compression thereabout.

Claim 6

The partitionable container of claim 1 wherein said opposing inner surfaces of said outer sidewalls include opposed grooves formed therein and said bottom wall includes a groove connecting said opposed grooves forming a single groove in said container and said container further comprising a front panel vertically slideable within said single groove.

Claim 7

An enclosure for containing a plurality of article stacks in individual readily erectable compartments vertically defined by horizontal shelves vertically adjustable within vertical chamber columns defined by fixed vertical partitions, a top wall, a bottom wall, and a vertically slideable front panel comprising: a rear wall including dual columns of pairs of vertically aligned apertures accessing said vertical chamber columns; rear support pins insertable through a selected pair of apertures into a pair of cavities in the rear edge of said shelves; resilient semi-rigid support strips digitally compressible about a longitudinal fold seam formed therein; slot means formed in said vertical partitions for completely receiving and retaining said digitally compressed resilient support strips; and tab means projecting from the sides of said shelves into said slot Means for support by said support strips after insertion into said slot means.

Claim 8

An enclosure for containing a plurality of article stacks in individual readily erectable compartments vertically defined by horizontal shelves vertically adjustable within vertical chamber columns defined by fixed vertical partitions, a top wall, a bottom wall, and a vertically slideable front panel comprising: a rear wall including dual columns of pairs of vertically aligned apertures accessing said vertical chamber columns; rear support pins insertable through a selected pair of apertures into a pair of cavities in the rear edge of said shelves; resilient semi-rigid support strips digitally compressible about a longitudinal fold seam formed therein; slot means formed in said vertical partitions for completely receiving and retaining said digitally compressed resilient support strips; and tab means projecting from the sides of said shelves into said slot Means for support by said support strips after insertion into said slot means.

Claim 9

In a readily accessible storage system, the combination comprising a frame having a base and corner posts extending substantially orthogonally upward from said base; at least one vertically aligned stack of enclosures loaded on said base and retained within said frame by said posts; at least one of said enclosures having a vertically movable front panel; and at least two of said corner posts spaced from the vertically aligned stack of enclosures a distance sufficient for providing clearance for sliding said at least one enclosure out of vertical alignment with said stack and vertically moving said front panel of said at least one enclosure for providing access thereto.

Claim 10

In a readily accessible storage system, the combination comprising a frame having a base and corner posts extending substantially orthogonally upward from said base; at least one vertically aligned stack of enclosures loaded on said base and retained within said frame by said posts; at least one of said enclosures having a vertically movable front panel; and at least two of said corner posts spaced from the vertically aligned stack of enclosures a distance sufficient for providing clearance for sliding said at least one enclosure out of vertical alignment with said stack and vertically moving said front panel of said at least one enclosure for providing access thereto.
