A supporting frame, which is configured for a shelving apparatus including a plurality of vertical posts, includes a net shelf and a plurality of shelf supporting beams for supporting the net shelf. Each shelf supporting beam includes a beam member and two post lockers provided at two ends of the beam member respectively. Each post locker includes an extension wall biasing against a side surface of the vertical post, a locker wall biasing against the inner attachment surface of the vertical post, and a locking element provided at the locker wall to selectively engage with one of attachment slots of the vertical post so as to detachably couple the shelf supporting beam between the vertical posts at a position that the beam member is extended between the side surfaces of the vertical posts.

An angle bar includes two longitudinal angled plate portions, and a corner portion connecting therebetween. The corner portion has an inner corner surface bounding an inner corner space and an outer corner surface. A stopper protrudes into the indented corner space, and has an abutment face extending across the indented corner space. A limiter protrudes into the indented corner space from the inner corner surface, and has a through hole opening in a direction along a bending line of the corner portion. A modular post assembly has at least two angle bars abutting each other, and a fixing rod extending through the through holes of the bars along the bending line and limited between the stoppers for fixing together the bars.

Panels are shown which are provided with a mechanical locking system allowing perpendicular connection with a snap action. A set of panels including a first and a second panel, an edge of the second panel is insertable into a groove of the first panel, when the panels are arranged essential perpendicular to each other, to obtain a mechanical connection between the first and the second panel, when the second panel is displaced essentially perpendicularly to the first panel.

A modular furniture system includes a plurality of panel elements having opposing first and second major faces, a perimeter wall defining a minor face therebetween, and at least a boss aperture which passes through the first and second major faces. A panel connector has a bridging element and at least two bosses in spaced apart relationship on the bridging element, each boss being a complementary fit in the boss aperture of a respective panel element, a first fastener recess in a distal free end of each boss, and a second fastener recess opposing the first fastener recess and adjacent to a proximal end of each boss. An oversized fastener associated with each boss has a panel-retaining head and a tail which is interengagable with the panel-retaining head.

Provided are reinforced shelves, kits for reinforced shelves and shelving units comprising at least one reinforced shelf.

A rack component having a component body with a front, back, top, base, width between the front and the back, and an aperture extending through the component body near the top, the top of the component body configured to be the negative of a cut-out on the base, such that the cut-out on the base of one component body can receive the configuration on the top of an adjacent component body below it. Rack systems and methods of using a series of the rack components are also disclosed, including systems and methods including a bracket used with a pair of component bodies for rotating a workpiece.

A shelf support beam (80, 130, 200) for use in a shelving unit (10) to support a shelf (22). A structural member (82, 132, 202) has a C-shaped cross-section. A web (94, 144, 216) separates a top flange (96, 146, 220) from a bottom flange (112, 162, 234). The top flange (96, 146, 220) is configured to support the shelf (22). The web (94, 144, 216), the top flange (96, 146, 220), and the bottom flange (112, 162, 234) define a channel (92, 142, 214) of the member (82, 132, 202). The channel (92, 142, 214) defines a cavity height (C1, D1, E1). The top flange (96, 146, 220) and the bottom flange (112, 162, 234) define a top flange width (C2, D2, E2) and a bottom flange width (C3, D3, E3), respectively. A ratio of the cavity height (C1, D1, E1) to a sum of the top flange width (C2, D2, E2) and the bottom flange width (C3, D3, E3) is greater than 1, is at least 1.20, or is about 1.40. The C-shaped cross-section has a moment of inertia (98, 148, 238) of greater than 0.40, greater than 0.45, or at least 0.46. The top flange (96, 146, 220) includes an elevated portion (100, 150, 222) and a lower or shelf support portion (104, 154, 226) separated by a sidewall (106, 156, 230).

A framework for an electronic or network cabinet, having a first profile frame and a second profile frame, as well as four depth struts. Each depth strut is directly or indirectly connected at corresponding points to the vertical profile frames. Furthermore, the depth struts are dimensioned so that they can absorb and compensate tilting forces of the vertical profile frames.

A modular shelving system is configured to store objects therein while having a customizable overall dimension. The system includes multiple modular shelf assemblies, each having a storage void, and a set of connectors. A first modular shelf assembly is configured to be secured, via a set of connectors, to a second modular shelf assembly and to a third modular shelf assembly. An additional storage void is formed between the first storage void, the second storage void, and the third storage void. The fourth storage void is configured to store objects therein. The location in which the first modular shelf assembly is configured to be connect to other modular shelf assemblies is selected by a user to meet the customizable overall dimension.
