Benefits of technology
The patent text describes different embodiments of a storage system for storing objects. The system includes a frame and a guide rail system supported by the frame. The system also includes a tray that can be moved between a stowed position within the frame and an extended position outside the frame. The tray can be selectively removed from the guide rail system and tilted in different directions. The system also includes mounting mechanisms for securing the tray to the guide rail system and latch members for securing the tray to the guide rail system. The technical effects of the storage system include improved access to objects, easy movement of the tray, and secure storage of objects.
Problems solved by technology
Known storage and transportation systems are not entirely satisfactory for the range of applications in which storage systems are employed.
In addition, known storage systems, such as storage containers including racks for storing, for example, wine bottles, store wine bottles facing the same direction, which is an inefficient use of space due to the shape of wine bottles.
Moreover, conventional storage systems, such as wine racks, wine drawers, and wooden wine boxes are expensive.
In addition to being expensive, conventional storage systems do not adequately secure objects, which makes them undesirable for transporting objects, such as wine bottles.
Because of this limitation, a wine collector cannot easily transport a wine collection from one cellar to another.
Furthermore, known storage systems make access to individual objects impractical.

Embodiment Construction
[0025]Some embodiments of a storage system in accordance with the present disclosure may be configured for the storage and transportation of a plurality of objects. Additionally and / or alternatively, some embodiments of a storage system may be configured for the storage and / or transportation of a plurality of objects, wherein it may be desirable to securely display and access the plurality of objects. The objects may include any object including, but not limited to, objects having a cylindrical shape, a tapered neck portion and / or any other configuration known to those skilled in the art. As a non-limiting example, and as illustrated in FIGS. 1-13, the storage system may be used for storage and / or transportation of wine bottles.
[0026]FIGS. 1 and 2 show an exemplary storage system, indicated generally at 10. The storage system may include a frame 12 having frame sides 14, a guide rail system 16 and one or more trays 18. Guide rail system 16 may be supported on or by frame 12 between ...

A storage system for storing objects is provided. The storage system may include a frame having sides and a guide rail system supported on the frame between the frame sides, the guide rail system including a pair of slide members that are selectively extendable beyond the frame sides. The storage system may futher include a tray moveable within the guide rail system and releaseably supported by the pair of slide members for movement with the slide members relative to the frame, the tray may be selectively removable from the slide members and tiltable with respect to the slide members, and a mounting mechanism operable for securing the tray to one of the slide members, the mounting mechanism being selectively releasable for allowing manual removal of the tray from the slide members.
Description
BACKGROUND[0001]The present disclosure is directed generally to storage systems for storing objects, and more particularly, to storage systems including a guide rail system and a tray that is one or both of removable from the guide rail system and tiltable with respect to the guide rail system.[0002]Known storage and transportation systems are not entirely satisfactory for the range of applications in which storage systems are employed. For example, existing storage systems are designed for a single-purpose, either storage or transportation. In addition, known storage systems, such as storage containers including racks for storing, for example, wine bottles, store wine bottles facing the same direction, which is an inefficient use of space due to the shape of wine bottles. Moreover, conventional storage systems, such as wine racks, wine drawers, and wooden wine boxes are expensive.[0003]In addition to being expensive, conventional storage systems do not adequately secure objects, wh...
