Abstract: An overhead storage system with an illuminated sign includes a plurality of storage modules aligned end-to-end and, suspended from a ceiling. A sign panel is mounted to the storage modules in fixed space relation to the module, and a fluorescent light fixture is mounted intermediate the sign and storage module. Each module has a pair of rectangular end frame members. A shelf extends horizontally intermediate the frame members and a front panel, substantially perpendicular the shelf, forming a front section of each module and defining a storage capacity of the module. A door is pivotally mounted to the frame members parallel the front panel. Brackets mounted to each frame member adjacent the front panel have a bottom and top extrusion for receiving the sign. A fluorescent light fixture is mounted to the bracket between the sign and front panel. Additionally, a second light fixture is mounted to the bottom of the frame members to provide downlighting.
