Abstract
There is disclosed an intermediate support member for use with multiple suspended storage units in a portable panel partition system. The support member has a hanger for straddling and bearing on the adjacent end posts of two portable partition panels and hanging support on those two panels, with bolts for snug tension joining of the adjacent ends of two hanging storage units through the support member to form a rigid truss-like unit of the storage and support components to avoid sagging of those units. The support member is of an appropriate thickness to insure a snug fit of the rigid unit between the end panels. Interlocking tabs and shoulders prevent unhooking of the storage units and support member from the panels.
