Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A storage/display system having a frame with a plurality of containers supported thereon comprising: (a) a frame having a pair of spaced vertical side supports, and a pair of spaced horizontal end supports; (b) a grid of substantially vertical and horizontal wires mounted in said frame between said side supports; and (c) said plurality of containers having means for supporting said plurality of containers on said grid, the support means comprising a flange spaced from the rear of the container and extending generally parallel to the said rear and forming with the said rear at its lower end an opening to receive a horizontal wire of the grid and having a connector between the container and said flange against which said horizontal wire can abut and which supports said container, said container, said flange and said connector being a unitary structure, and at least two vertically extending slots in said flange and extending into said connector, said slots being located at predetermined spaced intervals to interconnect with and receive the vertical wires of the grid.
