  • Patent number: 6155440
    Abstract: A ceiling-mounted storage bracket having a top member rigidly attached to a pair of side members, and a bottom member rigidly attached to the side members. The top member, side members and bottom members define a storage aperture sized to admit items to be stored. Alternate embodiments of the ceiling-mounted storage bracket are disclosed which provide two mutually cooperating top members, which may be translated relative to each other so as to vary the width of the storage aperture. An alternate embodiment is disclosed wherein the ceiling-mounted storage bracket is made of bolted-together angle iron, and a bottom member attached to the side member by means of brackets, to permit both the height and the width of the storage aperture to be varied. The ceiling-mounted storage brackets are generally used in pairs, so that each ceiling-mounted storage bracket may support one extreme of an article(s) to be stored.
