Storage device

Abstract

A device for storing cooking utensil lids by suspending them from the inner upper surface of a cabinet is described. A pair of parallel tracks secured to the cabinet each have supports that engage the grips on the lids in order to store the lids in the space above the cabinet base. The tracks are movable relative to each other to form a gap that can be adjusted to match the sizes of the grips on the lids that are being stored.

1 . A storage device comprising a pair of tracks movable relative to each other, a support on each of said tracks, said supports being oriented toward each other in order to establish a gap of predetermined width therebetween, and means for securing said pair of tracks to maintain said predetermined gap width.  
     
     
         2 . A storage device according to  claim 1  wherein said pair of movable tracks are parallel with each other, a portion on a first one of said pair of tracks having two elongated adjustment holes formed therein, a flange on a second of said pair of tracks having a pair of holes formed therein, said pair of holes in said flange being in general alignment with a respective one of said elongated adjustment holes to enable said supports to establish said predetermined gap therebetween.  
     
     
         3 . A storage device according to  claim 2  wherein said securing means comprise screws.  
     
     
         4 . A storage device according to  claim 2  wherein said first one of said pair of tracks further comprises a member generally perpendicular thereto, said member terminating in a lid grip support that is generally parallel with said first track portion, said second of said pair of tracks having a member generally perpendicular to said second track flange, said perpendicular member terminating in a lid grip support that is oriented toward said first track lid grip support and in alignment therewith in order to establish said gap.  
     
     
         5 . A storage device according to  claim 4  wherein said second track flange further comprises a fold formed therein to enable said first track portion to overlap said second track flange.
