US Patent 6976595 Retractable system for hanging storage

A storage system that is attached by (means of)a bracket (FIG. 3) to the underside of a horizontal surface. This bracket (FIG. 3) incorporates a track made by the bracket side wall (32) and the bracket lip (34), which holds a retractable slide arm (FIG. 4) that slides forward when in use and slides back when at rest. A bracket stop (36) at the front end of the bracket (FIG. 3) prevents the slide arm (FIG. 4) from separating from the bracket (FIG. 3). The front end of the slide arm (FIG. 4) incorporates a slide arm pull (29) for ease of use. Items to be stored are suspended from hooks (30) that are positioned on the underside of the extended center section of the slide arm (28). Hangers (FIG. 9) incorporate a hanger eye (38) that slips easily on or off the hook (30). Hanger adhesive (44), which lines the hanger base (42), provides a (means) technique for attaching the hanger (FIG. 9) to the top of the receptacle to be stored.
