Beam box storage container

Abstract

A self retracting storage container for general purpose storage in unfinished basements is disclosed. The storage container of the present invention is attached to a pivot bar and mounting plates and equipped with a spring loaded ratcheting device. The entire assembly mounts between the basement floor joists of a house and provides easy access storage in what would normally be wasted space. A storage container with a cooperating spring loaded ratchet mechanism is new to the art. The way in which the mounting components are configured makes installation by one person possible and eliminates the need to “lay out” or mark the joists prior to actual placement of the storage container. This makes installation inherently simple and quick compared to prior applications in the art and is also new.

1 . A spring loaded ratcheting self retracting overhead storage container for use in basements, designed to fit between the ceiling joist's of said basement.
