Storage system and hardware
A storage system includes at least one upright rail having a front side with notches formed along a length thereof, the at least one upright rail arranged to be attached to an upright support surface. A bracket is arranged to be attached to the at least one upright rail, the bracket including a substrate and a plurality of hooks extending therefrom which are arranged to be received in a corresponding plurality of the notches, the plurality of hooks disposed only along a first portion of the substrate and not along a second portion of the substrate to define an open region of the bracket. The open region allows for attachment of at least one additional hardware member in a shared section with the bracket along the length of the front side of the at least one upright rail.
1. A storage system, comprising:
at least one upright rail having a front side with notches formed along a length thereof, the at least one upright rail arranged to be attached to an upright support surface;
a bracket arranged to be attached to the at least one upright rail and having a longitudinal axis, the bracket including a mounting plate and a plurality of hooks extending therefrom which are arranged to be received in a corresponding plurality of the notches, the mounting plate having at least one mounting slot formed therein in an orientation transverse to the longitudinal axis, wherein the bracket further includes a web connected to the mounting plate, and a support flange connected to the web, wherein the web extends along a depth of the at least one upright rail so that the support flange is arranged to abut the upright support surface; and
a subassembly mounted to the bracket via a fastener received in the at least one mounting slot, wherein the at least one mounting slot permits adjustability of a position of the fastener to customize a transverse position of the subassembly with respect to the at least one upright rail.
2. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the support flange includes at least one transverse cutout arranged to receive the fastener.
3. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the notches are formed in a linear array with two columns and multiple rows to define a series of paired said notches.
4. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the mounting plate does not extend beyond one half of a width of the front side of the at least one upright rail.
5. The storage system of claim 1 , wherein the subassembly includes a drawer subassembly having a drawer receptacle frame arranged to be mounted to the bracket, and a drawer mounted to the frame for limited longitudinal translation relative to the frame.
6. A method for installing a storage system, comprising:
providing an upright rail having a front side with notches formed along a length thereof;
installing the upright rail upon an upright support surface;
providing a bracket including a mounting plate and a plurality of hooks extending therefrom, the bracket having a longitudinal axis and the mounting plate having at least one mounting slot formed therein in an orientation transverse to the longitudinal axis, wherein the bracket further includes a web connected to the mounting plate, and a support flange connected to the web, wherein the web extends along a depth of the upright rail so that the support flange is arranged to abut the upright support surface;
attaching the bracket to the upright rail by engaging the plurality of hooks with the notches;
mounting a subassembly to the bracket via a fastener received in the at least one mounting slot; and
adjusting a position of the fastener in the at least one mounting slot to customize a transverse position of the subassembly with respect to the upright rail.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the notches are formed in a linear array with two columns and multiple rows to define a series of paired said notches in an inner column and an outer column.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein attaching the bracket includes engaging the inner column of the notches without obscuring the outer column of the notches.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein attaching the bracket includes attaching a first said bracket to the inner column of notches and attaching a second said bracket to the outer column of notches along a common lengthwise region of the upright rail.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the subassembly includes a drawer subassembly having a drawer receptacle frame arranged to be mounted to the bracket, and a drawer mounted to the frame for limited longitudinal translation relative to the frame.
11. The method of claim 6 , wherein the support flange includes at least one transverse cutout for receiving the fastener.
