The invention relates to system for the mounting of shelves on a substantially rectangular load carrier having four identical columns arranged in the corners thereof. The system comprises columns having a rectangular profile with four side faces, a substantially rectangular shelf of a length which is shorter than the distance between the columns of the load carrier, on which shelf a holder is mounted that can be inserted into complementary slots in the columns of the load carrier, said slots being configured with a support face with which the holder is capable of engaging in such a manner that the holder supports on the column. The columns as such are configured with slots that extend symmetrically about a longitudinally extending center axis of one of the side faces and through the side faces adjacent to that side face. The slots are each separately configured with three substantially identical cut-outs, the one of which is situated in the axis of symmetry and the two remaining ones are in the adjacent side faces. The cut-outs are function as support faces for the holders of the shelf, them being arranged on the shorter sides of the shelf and extending in the longitudinal direction of the shelf to the effect that they are capable of engaging with the slots in the four columns arranged on the load carrier.

A shelving support member includes a unitary member of a bent sheet material and defining a support portion extending along an axis to a first end and a retention portion disposed at the first end of the support portion. The retention portion defines a base extending congruently with the support portion at least partially along the axis and to a first fold in the member. A reinforcement portion extends from the first fold along and in contact with the base. A first punched area is defined in an aligned manner through both the base and the reinforcement portion of the retention portion.

A shelving apparatus includes a plurality of vertical posts and a supporting frame. Each vertical post has an inner attachment surface, a side surface, and a plurality of attachment slots formed at the inner attachment surface. The supporting frame includes a shelf platform and a plurality of shelf supporting beams for supporting the shelf platform. 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 the side surface, a locker wall biasing against the inner attachment surface, and a locking element provided at the locker wall to selectively engage with one of the attachment slots 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.

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.

A middle shelf installation tool is disclosed for use in combination with a pair of upstanding corner posts during the assembly of a boltless shelving system. Upper and lower sets of hingedly connected corner post surrounding members are spaced one above the other so as to extend across the top and bottom of the installation tool. The installation tool is wrapped in surrounding engagement around the bottom of an upper one of the pair of corner posts and the top of the lower one of the pair. The installation tool forms a splice to hold the upper and lower corner posts in axial alignment one above the other to facilitate the location by a single individual of a middle shelf at the intersection between the corner posts to lie between upper and lower shelves of the system. Once the middle shelf has been installed, the installation tool is pulled off and removed from the corner posts.

A support system for mounting a shelf to cabinet walls having vertical slots therein. The support system comprises rack rails to insert in the slots, each one of the rack rails comprises a series of upwardly arched channels. The support system further comprises mounting components to mount to the rack rails at similar heights, each one of the mounting components comprising a support face for supporting the shelf, an arched arm to be inserted in the arched channel, and an abutting face to contact one of 1—the rack rails to be mounted thereto and 2—one of the cabinet walls to be mounted thereto through one of the rack rails thereby limiting course of the arched arm in the arched channel. Once the mounting components are mounted to the rack rails, the mounted components provide support faces to set down the shelf thereon.

The invention relates to a shelf support for supporting a shelf plate and to an arrangement in a shelf. The shelf support comprises a support part arranged to be extending outside of the side wall aperture, a pin part arranged to be inserted into the side wall aperture and a stopping surface provided to the support part. The pin part protrudes from the stopping surface and the stopping surface is arranged to be placed against the side wall surface when the pin part is inserted into the side wall aperture. The pin part further extends from the stopping surface in a pin angle (X, Y) in relation to a direction (A) perpendicular to the stopping surface.

A rack for shelving consisting of upright posts and horizontal beams, connecting each between two upright posts, wherein said upright posts comprise. The upright posts include each at least one flank demonstrating one column of through gamma perforation doublets. The horizontal beams are either depth forming beams or width forming beams. The width forming beams include each at each of each extremity two rows of one doublet of fasteners adapted to fit with the gamma perforations so that the entire number of individual fasteners in those two rows of said perforations find each a matching perforation. The fasteners of the width forming beam are formed including each a cross recess of the width matching the width of the flank of the upright posts.

A stacking bracket with locking tabs for easily, economically, and securely attaching and horizontal shelving to an upright shelving support post rack assembly as well as connecting and stacking such rack assemblies vertically together, the system and component parts being adaptable and configurable such that shelves, drawers, and other rack accessory elements may be readily incorporated into the system, assembly, and methods for use of same.
