Abstract

A storage system includes a mounting structure having one or more mounting pivot devices positioned thereon. The storage system also includes one or more frames defining a first edge and a second edge with frame pivot devices positioned coaxially therebetween. At least one of the frames has one or more storage receptacles disposed thereon. Each of the mounting pivot devices engages respective frame pivot devices such that the frames are movably positioned on the mounting structure. According to another aspect of the present invention, the storage system includes one or more delimiter wheels having an engagement surface located thereon. The delimiter wheels are rotatably positioned on the first and / or the second edges of a frame. The engagement surfaces of adjacent delimiter wheels movably and adjustably engage one another and space the frames apart from one another.
