Abstract: A wall-mountable storage system includes a mounting rail having a front face, a rear face, a top face, and a rearwardly inclined surface extending downwardly from the top face toward the rear face; and a panel having a notch that is recessed into a rearward edge of the panel. The notch is configured to allow mounting of the panel in a vertical orientation on the rail without additional exposed hardware. In certain embodiments, a reinforcing liner is disposed in the notch to improve durability of the panel and facilitate the use of unconventional panel materials, such as particleboard.

Abstract: A closet partition system includes a simplified arrangement that reduces the number of steps required for installation and eliminates difficult manipulations, whereby an individual may easily install a closet partition system without requiring assistance. The mounting rail and bracket provide stable support that prevents the possibility of accidental dislodgement of the bracket from the mounting rail. The mounting rail includes a vertical back for attachment to a wall, a horizontal ledge projecting from the back, and a hook having a first section extending horizontally from the back and a second section extending downwardly toward the ledge. The bracket includes an elongate notch extending downwardly from an upper edge of the bracket for receiving the second section of the hook. This arrangement provides a closet partition system that is easy to use, capable of providing very high load bearing capability, and facilitates repeated disassembly and reassembly without degradation of the components.
