A storage system, having one or multiple shelves infinitely adjustable on an upright member. The upright member is a singular support structure with at least three parallel grooves running longitudinally below a front face of the vertical support, the grooves having a continuous sectional profile and each groove opening in the front face through a channel. The shelf or shelves are formed on a back side with at least three tongues integrally formed in the shelf and adjoining the back side through a neck portion. The tongues are insertable in the grooves while the neck portions occupy the channels. The neck portions are curved so that the tongues project upwards from the shelf upper surface at a slanting angle, such that the tongues are frictionally arrested in the grooves when the shelf is pivoted to bring the tongues to a tilted position in the grooves.

1. A storage system ( 1,6), having at least one storage shelf (6) which is infinitely adjustable relative to an upright member, the storage system comprising in combination: a vertical support ( 1) having at least three parallel grooves (3) running longitudinally behind a front face (2) of the support structure, the grooves (3) having a continuous sectional profile and each groove opening in the front face through a channel (4); a storage shelf ( 6) being formed on a back side (10) thereof with at least three tongues (7), the tongues being integrally formed with the shelf and adjoining the back side through a neck portion (8), at least one of said tongues (7) having a through hole for a bolt (9) that engages an inner wall of one of said grooves for securing the shelf in an operative, load bearing position; the tongues ( 7) having a planar shape that is adapted to the sectional profile of the grooves (3), and the length and width of the neck portions (8) are adapted to the sectional length and width of the groove channels (4), respectively, whereby the tongues are received in the grooves while the neck portions occupy the channels; the neck portions ( 8) being curved so that the tongues project upwards from the shelf top surface at a slanting angle, whereby the tongues (7) are permitted a sliding displacement in the grooves as the tongues are pivoted for a horizontal orientation, but frictionally arrested in the grooves (3) when the shelf is pivoted to bring the tongues to a tilted orientation in the operative position of the shelf, and the back side ( 10) of the shelf providing a load bearing contact against the front face (2) of the vertical support when the shelf is pivoted to the operative position.2. The storage system of claim 1, wherein the grooves (3) are circular in section and the tongues (7) have a circular planar shape.3. The storage system of claim 1, wherein the vertical support (1) is a self supported, hollow pentagonal column with storage shelves directly supported to extend radially from all sides of the column.4. The storage system of claim 1, wherein the back side (10) is formed to have a rectangular orientation relative to the top plane of the shelf in horizontal, operative position, and an acute, angular orientation relative to the top plane of a shelf in slanting, operative position.5. The storage system of claim 1, wherein the vertical support is rotatably mounted on a central, upright axis (14).6. The storage system of claim 1, wherein a horizontal slot (11) reaches from the front face (2) into the grooves (3) for lateral insertion of the tongues (7) to be received in the grooves.7. The storage system of claim 1, wherein the shelf (6) is made of hard metal, and the vertical support (1) is made of softer metal.8. The storage system of claim 3, wherein the vertical support is rotatably mounted on a central, upright axis (14).9. The storage system of claim 2, wherein a horizontal slot (11) reaches from the front face (2) into the grooves (3) for lateral insertion of the tongues (7) to be received in the grooves.
