   The closet inside part is an easily assembled packed modular system adjustable to the space available. It is offered in standard sizes and can be combined for larger spaces from a minimum to a maximum size according to the needs of the user. Said closet inside part consists of a series of mountable modules based on a section provided to hang long clothes, a shelf tower and double hanging section for short clothes. The sections are separated by vertical screens that are longitudinally assembled because said screens are not made of single pieces. The vertical screens are packed in at least two sections, each one fitting inside the box of the closet inside part. The main module is a tower with several shelves  10 ,  FIG. 1 , said tower is assembled first through screwing and is fastened onto the wall of the available space. 
   The shelf tower  10  is a vertical frame with shelves  11  of depth adequate to place folded clothes or shoes  12 . Its sizes take full advantage of the agglomerated raw material sheets from which they are obtained. In the shelf tower, it is also possible to place drawers  26   FIG. 4 . In the same shelf tower, it is possible to assemble shelves purchased as separate accessories. 
   The frame consists also of two screens  13  and  14  vertically placed to be fastened to the shelves, one of said screens  13  is higher to create the desired organizer. 
   The vertical screen  13  is placed very near the mid part of the full width design of the closet inside part and in this way the user can cover afterwards said closet inside part using a set of two equal sliding doors. Besides, if the user wishes to, he can keep said piece in a different position adjusting the product to the width of the existing enclosure through the cutting of shelves and pipes at both sides of the closet inside part. Moreover, said user can choose to cut one side more than the other to keep a larger quantity of short clothes than long clothes or vice versa. 
   The vertical screens  13 ,  14  measures no more than half the depth of the deepest shelves. Moreover, the vertical screens are placed far away from the back wall, and in this way it is possible to place the clothes on the shelves through the sides and at the same time it is possible to see the clothes kept up to the contact with the back wall, facilitating the cleaning. The clothes are ventilated in the lowest part, preventing confinement that favors insect nesting, fungus growth or moisture accumulation. 
   The placement of the vertical screens separated from the back wall makes it easy to obtain the adequate seating of the weight of the closet and the load placed on the shelves and the load received by the hanger pipes sustaining clothes, preventing deformation of the structure of the closet inside part. 
   The shelves  11  of the tower or frame  10  are panels made of agglomerated material, preferably 40 cm deep and 61 cm long, approximately. 
   The edges  15  of the screens and the edges  16  of the shelves,  FIG. 10  can be reinforced through PVC profiles such as is described in Mexican Patent 202201, owned by the applicant, or as is indicated in Mexican Patent Application No. PA/a/2001/011576. In this way, it is possible to obtain a high quality finishing or through the application of a veneer strip it is possible to obtain an economical closet. Said closet is highly resistant to lateral mechanical stresses through its assembly system. Moreover, it can be reinforced on its left and right side edges, totally or partially with regard to the width of the screen to increase its strength in the case of thin panels through “U”-shaped profiles made of plastic or other material. 
   The shelf tower is characterized because it is made by two screens preferably, 20 cm wide. Each screen is integrated by two assembly sections reinforced with an economically extruded profile through screwing or tongued and grooved assembly, pressure fit plastic or metal. Each screen presents a minimum thickness that is equal to the thickness of the shelves, preferably from 12 to 19 mm being in this way possible to carry a relatively light package. Because it has vertical screens on only half the depth of the deepest shelves, the weight of the screens is divided by half. 
   Because they are half the depth of the deepest shelves  11 , two pieces of vertical screens fit in only one layer of material within the box instead of needing two layers and in this way the package is smaller. 
   Because previously laminated agglomerated material is used, a high quality and durable finish can be obtained which is washable. 
   The hanger pipes  17   FIGS. 2 and 3 , are made of steel and of oval cross section to improve their load capacity and reduce the weight of the package and are PVC covered through extrusion so that they can be used in all climates. Instead of this, it is possible to use other types of hanging elements, of one piece or collapsible. Caps are supplied  40 ,  FIGS. 8 and 9 , for the heads of the placement and assembly screws and pegs or anchors are supplied for concrete, brick, block, plaster and wood walls, indistinctively. 
   In  FIG. 2 , the first combination of mass manufactured modules can be seen. Said combination includes: shelf tower  10 , a left side long clothes hanging module  19 , through the incorporation of a panel  20  placed in the upper end of the shorter screen  14  of the tower  10  and fastened to it through an element  24 ,  FIG. 13  C and fastened to the larger screen  13  through screws  18   FIG. 9  C and through plastic fastening elements  21 ,  FIG. 14  D onto the enclosure wall. It also includes a right side hanging module  22  with two hanging sections  17 ,  FIG. 3  based on a larger panel  23  fastened by two plastic fastening elements  21 , onto the wall and supported on the larger screen  13 , the hanging pipe  17  is pressure assembled on a couple of plastic fastening elements  24 ,  FIGS. 2 and 13  C and through screws. reinforced in its intermediate part against excess load through a fork element  25 ,  FIGS. 3 and 10  which is assembled in the hanging pipe  17  that opposes compression stresses because the excess lo load is absorbed by the steel pipe  17 . The fork  25  can slide to any desired position because it is not screwed. 
   An additional combination  FIGS. 4 ,  5  and  6  to previous modular combination relates to inclusion of chests by drawers  26  that offer a comfortable closet inside part for residential or popular housing depending on the finish of the edges  27 ,  FIG. 7  A of the organizing system, i.e the extruding profiles  28   FIG. 7C  or adhered veneer strips. 
   A second combination  FIGS. 2 and 3  of the shelf tower is different from the first combination because the long clothes hanging module is larger because it has a longer upper panel  20  and about twice the shelves of the tower  10 . 
   A variation  FIG. 15  B of the second combination is the incorporation of two or more chests of drawers  26  depending on the needs or it can include a larger member of shelves and the preferred sizes are shown in said figure, in cm. 
   In  FIG. 6 , the parts making up a chest of drawers consisting of two units are shown. Said chest of drawers consist of a base  29 , three side shelves  30  and a front shelf  31  each one having a recessed profile  32  in it lower part for the base  29  assembly. The lateral shelves are joined through screws  33 , and the front shelf is joined through a specially designed plastic fastening corner element  34 ,  FIGS. 6 and 11 , with overlapping elements  35 , to facilitate screwing while it has bolts  36  penetrating into holes  37  placed for better screwing and rough use. The chest of drawers  26  also has sliding elements  38  with their corresponding parts  39  for drawers  26  sliding. The shelf  31  can have extruded profiles on its edges for a better finishing can be lined veneer strip adhered through a glue. 
   On  FIG. 14  D, the fastening element design  21   FIG. 14  can be seen on the walls, said design permits a better pressure fastening onto the shelves because of its cone shape, and can be screwed onto the wall of the enclosure through the use of conventional pegs.
