A frame structure (100) for a piece of furniture comprising struts (1) which are capable of forming legs (101) of the piece of furniture, cross-pieces (2) which connect, in accordance to a grid-like structure, the struts (1), and connection means (300) which are configured to join the struts (1) and the cross-pieces (2), wherein the connection means (300) comprise at least two bent extensions (21, 22) which are capable of engagement in corresponding seats (11, 12) which are formed in the strut (1) and in the cross-piece (2), respectively, or vice versa, and further comprising a fixing element (3) which includes an abutment surface (30), a threaded seat (31) and a corresponding screw (4) which has a head (40) which is capable of an approach movement towards/withdrawal movement from the abutment surface (30) by means of screwing in the threaded seat (31), the fixing element (3) being configured in such a manner that the abutment surface (30) and the head (40) of the screw (4) abut the strut (1) and the cross-piece (2), respectively, or vice versa, as a result of the mutual approach/withdrawal movement.

A vacuum insulated appliance includes an outer wrapper and an inner liner. A ladder rack is coupled to the inner liner. The ladder rack includes first and second sidewalls coupled together by a connecting wall that defines a plurality of apertures. An adapter member includes a hook configured to extend through an aperture of the plurality of apertures when coupled to the ladder rack. The adapter member is coupled with a locking member that engages inner surface of first and second sidewalls of the ladder rack. A cantilever support is coupled to the adapter member and extends outward from the ladder rack. A rail assembly is coupled to an upper surface of the cantilever support. A spacer is coupled to an end of the cantilever support and abuts an inner liner surface. A storage feature is coupled to the rail assembly and is operable between stowed and deployed positions.

A shelving system comprises a horizontal beam, a vertical beam, a bracket, a rack, and a position-limiting piece. The vertical beam is slidably connected to the horizontal beam, the bracket is detachably connected to the vertical beam, the rack is in contact with an upper edge of the bracket, the position-limiting piece is detachably connected to the bracket through a gasket, and the position-limiting piece is connected to the bracket and can prevent the rack from moving relative to the bracket. In the present application, the strength of a connecting part between the bracket and the vertical beam is enhanced by the gasket, and the stability of the bracket and the rack is increased by the position-limiting piece, thereby improving the goods carrying capacity of the shelving system as a whole.

Adaptable bracket assemblies may be used with a plurality of different slotted standards. The bracket assembly may include two tabs or teeth, three notches, and a fastening mechanism (such as a tightening screw). The depth and shape of the tabs or teeth may be provided to allow attachment of the bracket assembly to a plurality of different vertical slotted standards. Further, the dimensions of the bracket assembly may allow the bracket assembly to be used adaptably on any of a plurality of different vertical slotted standards (i.e., A line, B, line, C line) that may be installed in a retail environment. Thus, it is not necessary to procure different types of brackets depending on which slotted standard is being used within a retail environment.

Provided are rack systems including at least one support rail configured with a plurality of axially extending bracket arresting slots and a plurality of corresponding locking locations, and at least one support bracket including at least two axially disposed engaging hooks readily detachably attachable with any two or more of the bracket arresting slots of the support rail, said support bracket further including a locking mechanism including a locking plunger configured for engaging with a locking location at the support rail.

A cantilever shelving system is disclosed and can include a frame structure, a cantilever shelf support structure, and a plurality of load-bearing shelves that can be supported by the cantilever shelf support structure and the frame structure. The shelves can be positioned laterally adjacent to cantilever support arms of the cantilever shelf support structure, and the shelf support surfaces can be coplanar with upper walls of the cantilever support arms. Ends of laterally adjacent shelves do not overlap with a front side of a vertical support member to which the cantilever support arm is mounted. The cantilever shelving system can accommodate various user requirements and can be operably integrated with standard commercial and/or industrial equipment or machinery.
