Abstract:
A storage system, comprising:a first component having a rear panel and two side panels for providing a hanging space for receipt of sheeted objects; a second component having a front panel adapted to couple to the first component to define a storage unit, the front panel mounted on a track for movement between an open and a closed condition in a direction perpendicular to the rear panel; and a rail assembly, including a main rail coupled to the first component at one end, for hanging the sheeted objects therefrom when the second component is in the closed condition and an extension portion coupled to the second component at the other end, the extension portion being coupled to and extendible relative to the main rail upon movement of the second component toward the open condition, whereby the rail assembly is in an extended condition, so as to increase the effective length of the rail assembly and thereby increase the hanging space for the sheeted objects to allow the sheeted objects to slide onto the extension portion in order to spread the sheeted objects along the rail assembly when the second component is in an open condition.
