Compartment with wall-mounted storage system

Abstract

A storage compartment that utilizes a wall-mounted system to adjustably arrange and customize various accessories. The storage system may have one or more panel sheets and each panel sheet may include one or more panel segments. Each panel segment may include a panel, a protrusion projecting from the panel, a support projecting from the panel, a first engagement member extending from the protrusion, and a second engagement member extending from the support. The engagement members are contactable with portions of a wall of the storage compartment. A slot may be formed between panels, the slot adapted to receive a bracket attached to each of the various accessories. Each accessory can be removable and adjustable within a slot.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is as follows:

         2 . The storage system of  claim 1 , wherein said slot is generally horizontal. 
     
     
         3 . The storage system of  claim 2 , wherein said cavity is located at least partially behind a portion of said first panel. 
     
     
         4 . The storage system of  claim 3 , wherein said retaining member engages a retention surface adjacent said cavity. 
     
     
         5 . The storage system of  claim 4 , wherein said accessory abuts at least a portion of said second panel when engaged with said retention surface. 
     
     
         6 . The storage system of  claim 5 , wherein said accessory is a barrel rest. 
     
     
         7 . A compartment with wall-mounted storage system comprising:
 a compartment wall having a first side and a second side, said first side facing the interior of said compartment and said second side facing the exterior of said compartment;   a first panel having a first protrusion;   a second panel having a second protrusion, said second panel proximate said first panel;   a first engagement member extending from said first protrusion, said first engagement member secured to said first side of said compartment wall;   a second engagement member extending from said second protrusion, said second engagement member secured to said first side of said compartment wall;   a slot between said first and second panels, wherein a cavity extends upwardly from said slot; and   an accessory having a bracket adapted to fit in said slot, wherein said bracket has a retaining member and a portion of said retaining member is adapted to fit within said cavity.   
     
     
         8 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 7 , wherein said slot is generally horizontal. 
     
     
         9 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 8 , wherein said cavity is located at least partially behind a portion of said first panel. 
     
     
         10 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 9 , wherein said retaining member engages a retention surface adjacent said cavity. 
     
     
         11 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 10 , wherein said accessory abuts at least a portion of said second panel when engaged with said retention surface. 
     
     
         12 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 11 , wherein said accessory is a barrel rest. 
     
     
         13 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 12 , wherein said compartment wall is adapted to be fire resistant. 
     
     
         14 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 13 , wherein said compartment wall includes gypsum board. 
     
     
         15 . A compartment with wall-mounted storage system comprising:
 a compartment wall having a first side and a second side, said first side facing the interior of said compartment and said second side facing the exterior of said compartment;   a first panel sheet having a plurality of panels, wherein at least one of said plurality of panels on said first panel sheet includes an engagement member secured to said first side of said compartment wall, wherein said first panel sheet includes a channel;   a second panel sheet having a plurality of panels, wherein at least one of said plurality of panels on said second panel sheet includes an engagement member secured to said first side of said compartment wall, wherein said second panel sheet includes a tongue and said tongue is received within said channel;   a slot formed between at least two of said plurality of panels on said first panel sheet; and   an accessory having a bracket adapted to fit in said slot.   
     
     
         16 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 15 , wherein said slot is generally horizontal. 
     
     
         17 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 16 , wherein said accessory is a barrel rest. 
     
     
         18 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 17 , wherein said compartment wall is adapted to be fire resistant. 
     
     
         19 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 18 , wherein said compartment wall includes gypsum board. 
     
     
         20 . The compartment with wall-mounted storage system of  claim 19 , wherein said compartment wall includes a generally vertical reinforcement member proximate said gypsum board.
