Patent attributes
The storage system is a suspended storage system in which one or more uprights are hung from a crossbar (24) and storage elements such as shelves or cabinets are attached to the uprights (1). Each of the uprights (1) is attached to the crossbar (24) by means of a coupling hook (25) which is removably attached to the end of the upright (1) and removably engages with the crossbar (24). The coupling hook (25) has a hook body (26) with a pair of L-shaped hooks (34) for engagement in the slots in the upright (1) and a grub screw (33) arranged to engage with the interior wall of the upright (1) so as to prevent relative movement of the coupling hook (25) with respect to the upright (1) when attached thereto. With this arrangement of the coupling hook (25), attachment to and removal of the coupling hook (25) from the crossbar (24) does not result in consequential loosening of the attachment of the coupling hook (25) to the upright (1).
