Adjustable pivoting panel display and/or storage system with adjacent panel non-interference feature

Abstract

A storage system includes a mounting structure having one or more mounting pivot devices positioned thereon. The storage system also includes one or more frames defining a first edge and a second edge with frame pivot devices positioned coaxially therebetween. At least one of the frames has one or more storage receptacles disposed thereon. Each of the mounting pivot devices engages respective frame pivot devices such that the frames are movably positioned on the mounting structure. According to another aspect of the present invention, the storage system includes one or more delimiter wheels having an engagement surface located thereon. The delimiter wheels are rotatably positioned on the first and/or the second edges of a frame. The engagement surfaces of adjacent delimiter wheels movably and adjustably engage one another and space the frames apart from one another.

1 . A storage system comprising:
 a mounting structure having at least one mounting pivot means positioned thereon;   at least one frame defining a first edge and a second edge with frame pivot means positioned coaxially therebetween, at least one of said frames having at least one storage receptacle disposed thereon and wherein each of said mounting pivot means pivotally engage respective frame pivot means such that said frames are movably positioned on said mounting structure;   at least one delimiter means having an engagement surface located thereon, said delimiter means being rotatably positioned on at least one of said first edge and said second edge and wherein said engagement surfaces of adjacent ones of said delimiter means movably engage one another and space said frames apart from one another.   
   
   
       2 . The storage system of  claim 1 , wherein said delimiter means comprises a wheel rotatably mounted to at least one of said first edge and said second edge and wherein said engagement surface is positioned circumferentially around said wheel. 
   
   
       3 . The storage system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first edge and said second edge includes means for adjusting the position of said delimiter means thereon. 
   
   
       4 . The storage system of  claim 3 , wherein said means for adjusting comprises a plurality of holes formed in at least one of said first edge and said second edge and said delimiter means is pivotally mounted on an axle removably positioned in one of said holes. 
   
   
       5 . The storage system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said mounting pivot means and said frame pivot means further comprises frame adjusting means for changing at least one of spacing between said frames and spacing between said frames and said mounting structure. 
   
   
       6 . The storage system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one channel is secured to said mounting structure and said mounting pivot means comprises at least one pivot member slidingly positioned in said channel for adjusting at least one of spacing between said frames and spacing between said frames and said mounting structure. 
   
   
       7 . The storage system of  claim 6 , wherein said pivot member has a locking device for removably holding said pivot member to said channel and said frame pivot means to said pivot member. 
   
   
       8 . The storage system of  claim 6 , wherein said delimiter means comprises a wheel rotatably mounted to at least one of said first edge and said second edge and wherein said engagement surface is positioned circumferentially around said wheel and wherein said engagement surface engages at least one point along said channel to limit travel of said frame. 
   
   
       9 . The storage system of  claim 1 , wherein said storage receptacle comprises at least one of a peg board, a basket, a hook, a slot board, a cork board and a shelf. 
   
   
       10 . The storage system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one bearing is disposed between said delimiter means and at least one of said first edge and said second edge. 
   
   
       11 . The storage system of  claim 1 , comprising an adjustment member having an engagement surface positioned on one end of said adjustment member, wherein said mounting structure has a receiving opening, and wherein said adjustment member is positioned in said receiving opening such that said engagement surface extends therefrom and engages a portion of said delimiter means to space said delimiter means away from said mounting structure. 
   
   
       12 . The storage system of  claim 6 , comprising an adjustment member having an engagement surface positioned on one end of said adjustment member, wherein said channel has a receiving opening, and wherein said adjustment member is positioned in said receiving opening such that said engagement surface extends therefrom and engages a portion of said delimiter means to space said delimiter means away from said channel.
