Methods and systems for panel rack storage

Abstract

A cabinet system includes a panel. The panel includes a first plurality of rows of horizontal slots that extend through the panel. Each row in the first plurality of rows includes a plurality of horizontal slots. The system also includes a first fin mounted to a first side of the panel and a second fin mounted to a second side of the panel. The system also includes a container mounted to the panel, where the panel attaches to the panel at one of more of the horizontal slots.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A panel rack storage system, comprising:
 a panel, wherein the panel includes a first plurality of rows of horizontal slots that extend through the panel, wherein each row in the first plurality of rows includes a plurality of horizontal slots;   a first fin mounted to a first side of the panel and a second fin mounted to a second side of the panel; and   a container mounted to the panel, wherein the panel attaches to the panel at one of more of the horizontal slots.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each row in the first plurality of rows includes a different pattern of horizontal slots. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein two or more rows in the first plurality of rows includes a same pattern of horizontal slots. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a second plurality of rows of horizontal slots in the first fin. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the second plurality of rows of horizontal slots in the first fin are vertically aligned with at least a portion of the first plurality of rows of horizontal slots in the panel. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the panel includes flanges that extend from side edges of the panel beyond a rear face of the panel, wherein the first fin and the second fin mount to the flanges. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein each edge of the panel includes a flange that extends therefrom, and further comprising a gap in between each of the flanges such that the flanges do not contact one another. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the gap has a rounded end at a location where the gap meets a face of the panel. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a first leg that mounts to the first fin and a second leg that mounts to the second fin, wherein the first leg and second leg are oriented to be parallel to the plurality of horizontal slots. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a plurality of feet mounted to the first leg, wherein the plurality of feet are vertically adjustable to raise or lower a height of the system. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the container includes one or more indicators that represent a length of the container. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein each indicator corresponds to a length increment of the container such that a number of the one or more indicators multiplied by the length increment results in an overall length of the container. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more indicators are vertical slots positioned in a front face of the container. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the container includes one or more drain openings positioned at one or more bottom corners of the container. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a rear face of the container is greater in height than a front face of the container. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a mounting flange that extends from a top edge of a rear face of the container. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mounting flange comprises a first vertical portion, a horizontal portion that extends from the first vertical portion, and a second vertical portion that extends from the horizontal portion. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the first vertical portion of the mounting flange rests upon a rear face of the panel and the second vertical portion of the mounting flange rests upon a front face of the panel when the container is mounted to the panel. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the mounting flange includes a threaded opening sized to receive a fastener to secure the container to the panel. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of horizontal slots in each of the first plurality of rows are sized and spaced such that the container can move horizontally along a portion of the panel.
