RACK ASSEMBLY
A collapsible rack assembly includes a vertical support, a first elongated shelf having a first corner region and a rail extending therefrom, and a second elongated shelf including a second corner region having a notch apparatus. The vertical support is structured to extend between and support the first and second elongated shelves when the collapsible rack assembly is in an ASSEMBLED position. The notch apparatus is configured to receive the rail in order to allow the first elongated shelf to nest within the second elongated shelf when the collapsible rack assembly is in a COLLAPSED position.
Structural system and shelf
A structural system for the modular construction of shelves includes a set of elongate vertical supports, a set of frames and a set of connectors. The vertical supports have at least one axially extending row of holes, the frames have four struts, and the connectors are designed to be introduced into a hole a vertical support and secured to a mounting corner piece of a frame. The structural system is designed such that, in an assembled state, a frame of the set of frames is secured by its mounting corner pieces to four vertical supports via a relevant connector, two respective neighboring vertical supports that are connected to one another via one of the struts of the at least one frame define a support plane, and the four struts of the at least one frame lie outside the support planes defined by the four vertical supports connected to the frame.
Convertible apparel rack
A convertible apparel rack functions as a multi-purpose rack that can display garments, shoes, or a combination of both, by changing out the hanger bars. Further, the rack can be changed from a single rack to a dual rack by removing or inserting uprights on a standard base. The apparel hanger bars are solid and of sufficient strength to allow dense packing of apparel without mechanical failure. The shoe hanger bars have a gap to allow shoes to be clipped on. Further, the convertible apparel rack can display a single rack of items or can be configured to display two racks of items.
Shelf structure
A shelf structure has at least four columns and at least one supporting board provided with a plurality of circular gaskets respectively jacketing onto the columns. Each column has a plurality of positioning grooves, each circular gasket having a tapered shape and a fastening rib on an inner surface. The supporting board comprises a frame and a board member. The frame is provided with a raised internal surface, four top edges and four bottom edges of the frame are respectively provided with a horizontal rib. Each horizontal rib respectively forms a concave arced groove at each corner of the frame, and each concave arced groove is provided with an assembling arc member with two wing portions at each side configured to engage with the frame, the assembling arc member and the concave arc groove form a tapered hollow casing for engaging with the respective circular gasket.
ADJUSTABLE BATHROOM HANDRAIL ASSEMBLY
An adjustable bathroom handrail assembly is provided with a pair of elongate vertical handles with mounting hardware to mount to an upright support surface and spaced apart from the upright support surface. An adjustable horizontal bar extends between the pair of vertical handles, and a locking mechanism connects the at least one adjustable horizontal bar and one of the pair of elongate vertical handles. A locking mechanism is located at an intersection of the horizontal bar and the one of the elongate vertical handles. A method for installing and adjusting wall-mount hardware installs a pair of elongate vertical handles to an upright support surface. The ends of a horizontal bar are installed onto the pair of elongate vertical handles. A locking mechanism on the horizontal bar is disengaged to adjust the horizontal bar to a location along the pair of elongate vertical handles.
COUPLING SYSTEM AND CONSTRUCTION INCLUDING SAME
The present application is directed to a shelving system having a coupling system comprising a tab coupler and a socket coupler, said tab coupler comprising a locking tab extending from a locking face along a locking axis and configured with a round, T-like sectioned shape; said socket coupler comprising a U-shaped locking socket projecting from a mounting face of the socket coupler along a coupler axis and configured with a U-shaped tab arresting groove; the coupling system is configurable between an unlocked position whereat the locking socket slidingly receives the locking tab so that the locking axis and the coupler axis coincide, and a locked position upon rotating one of the tab coupler and the socket coupler about the coinciding axes, entailing snugly arresting of the locking tab by the locking socket, preventing sliding displacement and axial displacement along the coinciding axes.
Shelving System for Resisting Applied Shear Forces and Method for Forming the Same
A shelving system formed by a plurality of vertical posts and horizontal traverses held together through frictional engagement. Disposed between each lateral pair of posts are a pair of post connectors which include a female frictional engagement member configured to engage with a male frictional engagement member disposed on each post. The post and post connector engage with each other so as to create a proportional reaction force in response to any shear force applied to the shelving system. Disposed between each longitudinal pair of posts is at least one traverse which includes a collar configured to engage with one of a plurality of male components disposed along the height of the post. Each of the male components have a tapered shape which matches a tapered shape of a female aperture defined within the collar so as to form a closely fitted coupling between the post and each traverse.
BRACKET DEVICE
A bracket device includes a bracket and a fastening member. The fastening member is pivoted to the bracket by a shaft member. The bracket includes a first structure, and the fastening member includes a second structure. When the fastening member is located at a locked position, the second structure is in cooperation with the first structure, so as to prevent the fastening member from tilting relative to the bracket. One of the first structure and the second structure is a protruding portion, and the other one of the first structure and the second structure is a hole or a recessed portion.
Bracket device
A bracket device includes a bracket and a fastening member. The fastening member is pivoted to the bracket by a shaft member. The bracket includes a first structure and the fastening member includes a second structure. When the fastening member is located at a position, the first structure is in cooperation with the second structure, so as to prevent the fastening member from moving along an axis direction of the shaft member.
Slide Rail Assembly and Bracket Mechanism Thereof
A bracket mechanism includes a connecting wall and a mounting device. The mounting device and the connecting wall are movable relative to each other to be in a locking state or an unlocking state. The mounting device includes at least one mounting member. When the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the locking state, the at least one mounting member is adjacent to the connecting wall to be closed relative to each other. When the mounting device and the connecting wall are in the unlocking state, the at least one mounting member is away from the connecting wall to be opened relative to each other.
