Abstract: Modular storage systems employing discrete one-piece stud-like fasteners for readily mounting one or more storage bins onto at least two spaced apart support rails. The stud-like fasteners are inserted through a storage bin's hanging slots from its rear side into the storage bin cavity in an opposite manner to hitherto employed fastening screws. Kit for assembling a rectangular rigid support structure including an upper spacer and a base spacer for spacing apart a pair of vertical support rails. The spacers include spacer ends with integrally formed inter-engagement arrangements for mechanical inter-engagement with support rails. The inter-engagement arrangements include one or more integrally formed projections intended for insertion into the support rails. The spacers are preferably rigidly assembled from a left spacer member and a right spacer member by a screw, a snap-fit, and the like.

Abstract: Kit for assembling a rectangular rigid support structure including a pair of vertical support rails and an upper spacer and a base spacer. The two spacers are rigidly attachable to and space apart the pair of vertical support rails. The spacers have spacer ends with integrally formed inter-engagement arrangements for mechanical inter-engagement with and attachment to the support rails. The inter-engagement arrangements include one or more integrally formed projections intended for insertion into the support rails. The spacers in the kit each have two pieces that can be rigidly assembled together.
