Abstract: The invention is a compact storage rack for holding and storing tools and other articles within a recess in a wall of a building or vehicle. The storage rack includes a back panel, mounting members for securing the rack in the recess and at least one door panel pivotally mounted to the mounting members. Each panel consists of a wire grid composed of pairs of generally parallel and equidistantly spaced horizontal bars secured together by generally parallel and equidistant vertical bars. The grid design allows visual inspection of the tools inside the storage rack to confirm what equipment is present and that it is properly mounted. The grid design also allows air to permeate the storage rack to air dry the tools stored therein. The swing door arrangement provides easy access to the equipment.

Abstract: A modular system (1) including a series of parallel dividers (4,5) attached to a back wall grid (80). The dividers (4,5) and grid (80) are formed primarily of 0.25-inch wires welded together in an orthogonal grid pattern having a center to center spacing of approximately three inches. The modular storage system (1) can be mounted on a wheeled base (2) or directly to a wall (50) by brackets. The width of the modular storage system (1) can be increased indefinitely by extender rails (113) which may be added to the basic top rail (10) and bottom rail (47). Rails may be affixed together in the field by a wedge tube fastener (142). The fastener (142) is formed of a horizontal member (143) welded to two vertical, cantilevered metal strips (145, 146). A bolt (148) extends through the horizontal member (143) and into the interior region (147) formed between the two strips (145, 146).
