Multi-purpose Adjustable Wall Storage System

Abstract

A rack system for supporting items on a surface includes: mounts having an L-shaped body, mounting bores formed through the L-shaped body, and a support aperture formed through the L-shaped body; an elongate beam including a plurality of pairs of opposing spaced apart apertures formed therethrough; one or more attachments shaped to fit around the elongate beam, the one or more attachments including a clip portion including a pair of opposing apertures formed therethrough, an attachment arm formed on the clip portion, and a pin shaped to extend through the pair of opposing apertures of the clip portion and the at least one pair of the opposing spaced apart apertures of the beam when the opposing apertures of the clip portion are aligned with the at least one pair of opposing spaced apart apertures of the beam.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A rack system for supporting one or more items on a surface, the rack system comprising:
 an elongate beam mounted on the surface, the elongate beam extending from a first end to a second end that is distal from the first end, the elongate beam including a plurality of pairs of opposing spaced apart apertures formed therethrough;   one or more attachments shaped to fit at least partially around the elongate beam, the one or more attachments including
 a clip portion including a pair of opposing apertures formed therethrough and shaped to align with at least one pair of the opposing spaced apart apertures formed through the elongate beam, 
 an attachment arm formed on the clip portion and extending outwardly therefrom, and 
 a fastener shaped to extend through the pair of opposing apertures of the clip portion and the at least one pair of the opposing spaced apart apertures of the beam when the opposing apertures of the clip portion are aligned with the at least one pair of opposing spaced apart apertures of the beam; 
   wherein the attachments are adjustably mountable on the elongate beam by aligning the opposing apertures of the clip portion with one pair of the plurality of pairs of opposing spaced apart apertures formed through the elongate beam.   
     
     
         2 . The rack system of  claim 1 , further comprising two or more mounts, each of the two or more mounts having:
 an L-shaped body;   one or more mounting bores formed through the L-shaped body; and   a support aperture formed through the L-shaped body on a portion that is perpendicular to the one or more mounting bores;   wherein the elongate beam is shaped to slidably engage the support apertures of the two or more mounts such that the elongate beam is supported on the surface.   
     
     
         3 . The rack system of  claim 1 , the fastener comprising a removable pin. 
     
     
         4 . The rack system of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the one or more attachments are mounted on the beam, and wherein at least one of the plurality of attachments is adjacent a first of the two or more mounts and at least one of the plurality of attachments is adjacent a second of the two or more mounts to prevent lateral movement of the elongate beam in relation to the two or more mounts. 
     
     
         5 . The rack system of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a foldable member pivotally attached on an upper end of each of the two or more mounts; and   a shelf secured to the foldable member of each of the two or more mounts;   wherein the shelf is movable between a folded position and an unfolded position relative to the surface on which the rack system is mounted.   
     
     
         6 . The rack system of  claim 5 , the foldable member further comprising an elongate aperture formed therethrough for receiving a fastener to secure the shelf in the unfolded position. 
     
     
         7 . A rack system for supporting one or more items on a surface, the rack system comprising:
 two or more mounts having an L-shaped body,
 one or more mounting bores formed through the L-shaped body, and 
 a support aperture formed through the L-shaped body on a portion that is perpendicular to the one or more mounting bores; 
   an elongate beam extending from a first end to a second end that is distal from the first end, the elongate beam including a plurality of pairs of opposing spaced apart apertures formed therethrough;   one or more attachments shaped to fit at least partially around the elongate beam, the one or more attachments including
 a clip portion including a pair of opposing apertures formed therethrough and shaped to align with at least one pair of the opposing spaced apart apertures formed through the elongate beam, 
 an attachment arm formed on the clip portion and extending outwardly therefrom, and 
 a pin shaped to extend through the pair of opposing apertures of the clip portion and the at least one pair of the opposing spaced apart apertures of the beam when the opposing apertures of the clip portion are aligned with the at least one pair of opposing spaced apart apertures of the beam; 
   wherein the elongate beam is shaped to slidably engage the support apertures of the two or more mounts such that the elongate beam is supported on the surface; and   wherein the attachments are adjustably mountable on the elongate beam by aligning the opposing apertures of the clip portion with one pair of the plurality of pairs of opposing spaced apart apertures formed through the elongate beam.   
     
     
         8 . The rack system of  claim 7 , wherein the beam has a rectangular cross-sectional area, and further wherein mounting bores of the two or more mounts have rectangular cross-sectional areas corresponding to an outer shape of the elongate beam. 
     
     
         9 . The rack system of  claim 7 , wherein a plurality of the one or more attachments are mounted on the beam, and wherein at least one of the plurality of attachments is adjacent a first of the two or more mounts and at least one of the plurality of attachments is adjacent a second of the two or more mounts to prevent lateral movement of the elongate beam in relation to the two or more mounts. 
     
     
         10 . The rack system of  claim 7 , wherein a plurality of attachments are secured on the elongate beam, the plurality of attachments selected from the group consisting of a ski mount and a bicycle hook.
