A mounted storage device includes a mount for mounting the device on a
vertical surface. A load arm is supported on the mount and structured to
support an object thereon. The load arm is movable between a load
position for loading the object on the load arm and a store position for
storing the supported object. The storage device also includes a force
device connected between the mount and the load arm that urges the load
arm in a direction from the load position to the store position. The
storage device further includes a resistance damper connected between the
mount and the load arm that resists movement of the load arm in both
directions between the load position and the store position. The
resistance damper includes a plurality of damper members that creates the
resistance by at least one of friction and compression tension between
the damper members.
