Height and angle adjustable commercial shelving
A shelving assembly includes upright supports configured to support shelf units. The shelf units are height and angularly adjustable by way of an upright-mountable jack assembly. The shelves are supported by pivotable clip members that are removably mounted to slots formed in the upright supports. The assembly includes dividers that may be longitudinally attached to the shelf units. The dividers include a riser portion that separates adjacent packaged merchandise and a glide portion over which the packaged merchandise slides. Multiple slope angles are obtainable by jacking at least one end of a shelf unit, repositioning the clip members, and lowering the shelf unit to reengage with the clip members.
UTILITY RACK
Disclosed is a utility rack system that includes shelves having a first end, a second end, and a pair of end supports. Each of the pair of end supports is configured to support either the first end or the second end of the one or more elongated shelves. Each of the pair of end supports includes a first vertical member and a second vertical member, an upper cross member pivotally coupled at a first end to the first vertical member and pivotally coupled at a second end to the second vertical member, and a lower cross member pivotally coupled at a first end to the first vertical member and pivotally coupled at a second end to the second vertical member. The utility rack system also includes a diagonal support having a sliding lock mechanism coupling a first end of the diagonal support to the first vertical member.

The utility rack system also includes a diagonal support having a sliding lock mechanism coupling a first end of the diagonal support to the first vertical member.
PREFABRICATED SHELF
Provided is prefabricated furniture and, more particularly, to a prefabricated shelf (angle) having assembly holes and assembly protrusions for assembling frames together, the frames being more firmly assembled as a pressing protrusion portion protrudes from a narrow portion of an assembly hole so that an assembly protrusion is forcibly fitted by the pressing protrusion part. The prefabricated shelf includes a first frame in which a pair of assembly holes, each having a wide portion and a narrow portion, are arranged symmetrically, and a second frame in which a pair of assembly protrusions, corresponding to the assembly holes and each protruding to fit into the narrow portion, are arranged symmetrically, wherein the narrow portion includes a pressing protrusion portion configured to protrude from a first end thereof and press the assembly protrusion to a second side thereof to force the assembly protrusion into place.
SHELF SUPPORT BEAMS AND SHELVING UNITS UTILIZING SAME
A shelf support beam (130) for use in a shelving unit (10) to support a shelf (22). A structural member (132) has a C-shaped cross-section. A web (144) separates a top flange (146) from a bottom flange (162). The top flange (146) is configured to support the shelf (22). The web (144), the top flange (146), and the bottom flange (162) define a channel (142). The channel (142) defines a cavity height (D1). The top flange (146) and the bottom flange (162) define a top flange width (D2) and a bottom flange width (D3), respectively. A ratio of the cavity height (D1) to a sum of the top flange width (D2) and the bottom flange width (D3) is greater than 1.707 or greater than 1.8. The cross-section has a moment of inertia of greater than 0.0613 or at least 0.0617. The web (144) includes a recessed region (164) in which the structural member (132) is offset in a direction into the channel (142). A centroid (148) of the cross-section is within 0.125 inch of the recessed region (164).
Shelving system
A shelving system comprises four corner columns, a plurality of substantially horizontal support beams, and a plurality of beam braces. Each of the support beams extends between two of the four corner columns, and each support beam is paired with a corresponding second support beam to form pairs of support beams. Each of the beam braces extends between the support beams of one of the pairs of support beams and comprises a first end portion, a second end portion, and a middle portion. The first and second end portions comprise substantially planar faces. The middle portion is between the first end portion and the second end portion and comprises first and second edges, wherein the first end portion and the second end portion extend away from the first and second edges, respectively, in opposite directions.

METHOD FOR MAKING SHELVES
Beams and posts are disclosed. The beams and posts may be used for racks or shelving. The beams and posts may be formed by folding a sheet of metal. For example, the beams and posts may be non-volumous or hollow. Optionally, a portion of the wall of the beam or post is thickened, for example, by folding over the metal back and forth. Optionally, the thickened portion runs the length of the beam or post. In some embodiments, a fastener (e.g., a loop and/or hook) is formed in the thickened portion of the wall. For example, the fastener formed by punching out of the wall. Optionally, the fasteners are used to connect the posts to the beams.
