ABSTRACT:
The rack for a basket or container is, in one embodiment, utilized in combination with a closet shelving system. This system includes at least two vertical, spaced apart stationary poles. The basket or container includes opposing lips extending from opposite sides of the basket or container. The rack includes a pair of C-shaped elongated channels, an inverted U-shaped cross-member and, in one embodiment, a rearward cross-member. Each C-shaped channel is attached to the rearward cross-member at the channel's rearward terminal end. At the forward terminal end, the C-shaped channel is attached to depending legs of the inverted U-shaped cross-member. The U-shaped cross-member has a bridge member spanning the distance between the two vertical, spaced apart poles. The depending legs of the U-shaped cross-member are removably mounted to the vertical poles. The rearward cross-member is mounted to the wall via an appropriate mounting system. The basket or container slides in the C-shaped channels because the channel mouths of each C-shaped channel face each other. In another embodiment, a pair of wall mount brackets captures the terminal rearward ends of the C-shaped channels thereby eliminating the rearward cross-member. In further embodiment, the rack is mounted independently of the closet shelving system and utilizes a pair of angled wall bracket supports. The rearward ends of the angled wall bracket supports are mounted on the wall and the forward ends of the angled supports are coupled to either the depending legs of the inverted U-shaped cross-member or are coupled to the C-shaped elongated channels.
