A modular compact storage assembly includes storage cabinets containing a number of storage panels each equipped with means for supporting a number of articles therein. The storage panel assemblies are hung from tracks and guided at the bottom so as to permit them to be moved between stored and withdrawn positions. In the withdrawn position, the storage panels may be substantially entirely outside of their associated cabinet while a portion protrudes into the cabinet to inhibit the panel from swaying laterally under such circumstances. According to another embodiment, a pair of storage cabinets employs a common grouping of tracks which are shared by pairs of storage panel assemblies taken respectively from both cabinets. According to a further embodiment, the storage panel assemblies can be movable from a stored to a withdrawn position from either the front or the back of the cabinet.

A storage assembly comprising a protective cabinet adapted to be self-standing on a support surface, a plurality of substantially parallel tracks carried by and adjacent the top of said cabinet to protrude forwardly beyond the front of said cabinet, means standing on said support surface and disposed to extend upwardly therefrom to support the outer ends of said tracks from beneath, a plurality of storage panel assemblies for storing articles therein, said assemblies including and being carried by rollers riding along said tracks so as to hang therefrom and be movable individually therealong, said assemblies being movable between stored and withdrawn positions within and with respect to said cabinet, said panel assemblies being formed to include an elongate rigid member defining the bottom edge thereof, means for guiding said bottom edge during movement of said panels between stored and withdrawn positions, the degree to which said tracks protrude serving to permit the panel assemblies, including said rollers, carried by said tracks to be substantially fully withdrawn to substantially fully expose the sides thereof to provide access to articles carried by each withdrawn panel, said bottom edge extending rearwardly beyond the panel assembly to remain engaged by said means for guiding said edge after said panel assembly has been substantially fully exposed, said continued engagement serving to inhibit lateral swaying of said withdrawn panel assembly.
