1. A storage arrangement comprising:
- a worksurface having a generally horizontally oriented upper surface and at least one edge;
a storage unit including a generally horizontally oriented load-bearing panel defining a storage area thereabove and having front and rear edges and a pair of end edges which extend transversely between said front and rear edges;
a pair of generally upright arms each having a lower end supported on said worksurface adjacent said edge thereof and an upper end defining a connector element thereon; and
a pair of discrete mounting elements fixed to said panel at a lower side thereof by fasteners which extend through the respective mounting elements and into said panel, said mounting elements being disposed in a spaced-apart manner with one another and respectively interconnecting said storage unit to said upper ends of said arms, each said mounting element and the corresponding said connector element together defining a releasable connection including a projection which is cantilevered outwardly from one of said elements and a channel defined in the other said element, said channel opening sidewardly towards at least one of said end edges of said panel and slidably receiving therein said projection to releasably mount said storage unit on said arms.

Abstract
A storage cabinet assembly which is mounted on a worksurface by one or more support stanchions which project generally upwardly from the worksurface adjacent an edge thereof. The support stanchions position the storage cabinet in upwardly spaced relation from an upper surface of the worksurface and so that the rear side of the cabinet is generally vertically aligned with the edge of the worksurface. The storage cabinet includes one or more horizontal shelves which are adapted to mount upright divider elements thereon which define upwardly and sidewardly opening channels for accommodating documents or other materials therein.

9. A storage arrangement mountable on a worksurface having generally horizontally enlarged upper and lower oppositely facing surfaces and at least one edge, said arrangement comprising:
-
a cabinet having upper and lower generally horizontal walls, a rear wall which is generally vertical and extends transversely between said upper and lower walls so that same are vertically spaced from one another, and a pair of upright end walls extending between and interconnecting said upper, lower and rear walls to provide said cabinet with a generally hollow and sidewardly-opening interior storage space, said lower wall mounting thereon an elongate channel member which extends transversely between front and rear longitudinal edges of said lower wall, said channel member being defined by an elongate base wall which is spaced vertically downwardly from a bottom surface of said lower wall by a pair of upright side walls which adjoin at upper ends thereof to respective horizontal flanges attached to said bottom surface, said base wall removably mounting thereon a mounting element at a generally central location therealong between said front and rear edges of said lower wall, and a door structure mounted to said cabinet and swingably movable between a closed position so as to close off said storage space and an open position to provide access thereto;
a support arm connected to the worksurface adjacent the edge thereof for stationarily positioning said cabinet above the worksurface and generally adjacent the edge thereof, said cabinet being supported in its entirety on said support arm so as to be free of direct supportive engagement with the worksurface, said support arm having an upper end configured to cooperatively and releasably engage with said mounting element of said base wall and a lower end which bears upon the upper surface of the worksurface, said support arm defining a sidewardly opening recess therein; and
a mounting arrangement for securing said support arm to the worksurface, said mounting arrangement including an upper part positioned along the edge of the worksurface and having a nose which projects into said recess of said support arm and bears against a bottom wall thereof, and a lower part connected to said upper part and which projects partially under the worksurface, said lower part including a manually adjustable fastening element which is actuable to exert a downwardly directed force on said upper part to clamp said nose against said bottom wall and fix said support arm to the worksurface. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
