Abstract In the prior art, blueprints or other documents that are out of a central storage area, and in the area of the personnel working therewith, have been typically positioned loosely on a desk or working table in a manner so that they get in the way when not being used and/or roll off the desk. In general when not in use and stored on a desk, such documents are difficult to position conveniently. The invention is a working table or desk having a grating for vertical storage of material in elongated form, such as rolled blueprints. The table has a vertically directed opening with grating forming rods extending thereacross to form spaces for inserting rolled documents for storage. A container is positioned below the opening on the floor to receive the lower ends of the material. The opening has vertical surfaces having spaced horizontally directed holes therein. Each hole on each surface is in alignment with an opposite hole in an opposite surface to receive the rods forming the grating. One of each pair of oppositely aligned holes is deeper than the other to receive a coil spring. Each rod is inserted into a deeper hole to be in abutment with the spring, the spring being compressed to permit the entry of the rod across the opening and when so compressed the other end of the rod is within the opening and in position to be forced into the opposite hole by the bias of the spring. The spring thus holds each rod in place. In order to provide an arrangement of crossing rods to form the grating, holes in faces adjacent to faces having a first group of holes are bored at a higher level so that the rods may fit above the first rods and cross the latter. Also included is a cover to rest on the upper rods provided to close the opening when it is not being used for storage. The cover matches the top of the working table.
