ABSTRACT:
A storage unit for articles which is interfaced with a suspended ceiling, wherein the articles are stored above the suspended ceiling, yet readily accessible whenever they are needed. The suspended ceiling storage unit includes an outer frame which is dimensioned to rest upon the support lips of the runners of a rectilinear opening of the suspended ceiling, and an inner frame which is pivotably connected with the outer frame and is nestable therewith in a common plane. The inner frame has a lower flange for supporting a ceiling panel, and further has connected thereto a storage member for holding articles. The preferred storage member is a peg board and its interfaced pegs. In operation, a user places the storage unit into a selected rectilinear opening of a suspended ceiling, whereupon the outer frame rests upon the support lips of the adjoining runners. The inner frame is pivoted down for accessing articles with respect to the storage member, and the suspended ceiling storage unit is not noticeable to a casual onlooker when in the up position.
