Patent number: 5205630Abstract: A multiple use, modular, knock-down storage system has adjustable shelving and drawers, and removably attachable side panelling. The panelling is easily attached to a corner post by first attaching an inner corner member to the post, placing the panelling over that inner corner member and then laying an outer corner member over the panelling and the inner corner member. A fastener secures the entire assembly together. An adjustable and easily removable drawer support frame is also provided. The frame can be inserted into or removed from the entire storage system and can be configured with the appropriate size frames for the particular end use desired. In this manner, the storage system can easily be assembled and modified by the ultimate end user to meet whatever specific needs that user may have.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1991Date of Patent: April 27, 1993Assignee: InterMetro Industries CorporationInventors: Robert J.
