ABSTRACT:
A storage system for housing parts such as product packaging parts. The system includes a modular plurality of housings and a drawer for each housing. Each housing includes a top wall and two parallel side walls. The top wall has a plurality of alignment slots adjacent its side walls and alignment tabs extending along the lower portion of the side walls and registering with alignment slots of a housing disposed thereabove. Further, each housing has a recess on its top wall extending through a major portion of its length, and a lateral rail extending opposite the recess from a side wall and arranged to fit the recess of a laterally adjacent housing. Alignment slots on the rail permit to interconnect lateral adjacent housing. Each drawer has a bottom wall and two side walls, as well as a front and rear wall. Each drawer has a downwardly extending front portion for readily holding the drawer and pulling it out. This portion of the drawer handle is also provided with a lock for locking the drawer to its housing. Further, one or more dividers are provided for each drawer. Means are provided for holding the divider in a predetermined position within the drawer. Additionally, the divider has at least one tab which can be forced through an opening in the bottom wall of the drawer, thus holding the divider against the drawer bottom wall to prevent articles from sliding under the divider. Furthermore, there is provided a housing supporting structure of generally "U" shape which can be used to secure one housing to an adjacent housing to prevent sets of adjacent housings and drawers from separating. Finally, a handle is disclosed which serves the purpose of enabling the handcarrying of a set of housings and drawers by means of a flexible tab.
