Organizing system for drawers and cabinets
An organizing system for drawers and cabinets for attachment to opposing walls is disclosed which includes at least one main support that includes a pair of holes in the opposing walls. The pair of holes are in opposing alignment with one another. The system further includes a pair of attachment pins. Each pin is pressed into one of the pair of holes in the walls. The head of the pin has a top surface. A primary support rod having two ends extends between the top surfaces of the heads of the pair of attachment pins such that an abutment point is created at each end of the primary support rod between each primary support rod end and the top surface of each attachment pin. Fittings slide over the abutment point to secure the primary support rod with respect to each attachment pin.
1. An organizing system for attachment to opposing walls adjacent a flat surface, the organizing system comprising:
(a) at least one pair of holes in the opposing walls, wherein the pair of holes are in opposing alignment with one another;
(b) at least one main support, comprising:
(i) a pair of attachment pins, each attachment pin having a head portion and a pin portion, the pin portion of each attachment pin pressed into one of the pair of holes in the walls, the head portion having a cross-sectional shape and a planar top surface, said planar top surface being substantially parallel to the opposing walls;
(ii) a primary support rod having two ends having planar end surfaces and a cross-sectional shape that is substantially the same as the cross-sectional shape of the head portion, said planar end surfaces being substantially parallel to the opposing walls, the primary support rod extending between the top surfaces of the head portions of the pair of attachment pins such that an abutment point is created at each end of the primary support rod between each primary support rod end and the top surface of each attachment pin; and
(iii) a pair of compression fittings that slide over the abutment point to secure the primary support rod with respect to each attachment pin, the pair of fittings including a male compression fitting portion and a female compression fitting portion, wherein when the female compression fitting portion is rotated with respect to the male compression fitting portion, the fitting clamps to the primary support rod.
2. The organizing system of claim 1 , wherein the primary support rods are metal.
3. The organizing system of claim 1 , wherein the primary support rods are of a polymeric material.
4. The organizing system of claim 1 , wherein the head portion and the pin portion of the attachment pins have the same cross-sectional shapes.
5. The organizing system of claim 1 , wherein the fitting is a slidable sleeve held in position by friction.
6. The organizing system of claim 1 , wherein the primary support rod has a cylindrical cross section.
7. The organizing system of claim 1 , wherein the organizing system comprises a plurality of main supports and at least one secondary horizontal support rod supported by a pair of rod supports wherein the rod supports are mounted to adjacent primary support rods.
8. The organizing system of claim 7 , wherein the rod supports are slidable along the primary support rods.
9. The organizing system of claim 7 , wherein each of the pair of rod supports includes an aperture having an axis to receive the primary support rod and, at a right angle to the axis of the aperture, an open groove for receiving the secondary horizontal support rod.
10. The organizing system of claim 9 , wherein the open groove provides for the secondary support rod to snap in.
