Storage bins

Abstract

A storage and display system includes a plurality of bins adapted to be stacked and interlocked in a vertical array and tier-supporting members including at least two brackets adapted to be detachably interlocking to form horizontal and vertical supporting surfaces for the bins. Each bin consists of a bottom, a substantially upstanding front wall and an upstanding rear wall. Each bottom of the bins has a front flange member and a rear flange member arranged on its outside surface. Each upstanding rear wall of the bins has an additional flange member positioned on its upper end. A first bin is positioned onto the supporting members by interengaging the front and rear flange members on the bottom of the first bin with hook-shaped projections on the brackets. A second bin is stacked above the first bin by interengaging the additional flange member on the upper end of the rear wall of the first bin with the front flange member on the bottom of the second bin and by interengaging the rear flange member on the bottom of the second bin with the supporting members. A third bin is stacked above the first and second bins by interengaging the additional flange member on the upper end of the rear wall of the second bin with the front flange member on the bottom of the third bin and by interengaging the rear flange member on the bottom of the third bin with the supporting members. A plurality of partition members is provided for dividing each of the bins into a desired number of compartments. Each of the partition members is adjustable laterally along the entire width of the bins to provide substantially infinite variations of compartment sizes.
