A shelf system includes a bracket, a fastener configured to extend into a wall through the bracket, a lag bolt configured to extend into the wall and rotate within a notch defined by the bracket, and a support arm configured to extend from the bracket. The bracket and the lag bolt are configured to move the bracket relative to the wall when the lag bolt rotates within the notch. A method for setting a shelf surface angle includes movably attaching a bracket to a wall, positioning a component within a notch defined by the bracket, extending the component into the wall, and, by adjusting the extension of the component, causing the bracket to move relative to the wall until the angle is achieved. A system for setting a shelf surface angle includes a support arm and a means, attached to the support arm, for setting the angle.

A shelving system includes first and second side members. A cross member is coupled to the side members. A guide member is coupled to the cross member such that the guide member is movable relative to the cross member. A container including a rail is coupled to the guide member. The rail includes a first locking element and a second locking element that is connected to the first locking element. The container includes a handle having a third locking element that engages the first locking element. The locking elements are configured to move the container between a first orientation in which the container is provisionally fixed to the guide member and a second orientation in which the container can translate relative to the guide member.

A shelf system for mounting a shelf to a wall, which includes a shelf having a rear edge and first and second shelf fasteners coupled to the shelf and protruding from the rear edge. The shelf system may also include a mounting bracket assembly for mounting directly to a wall and to which the shelf is to be coupled. The mounting bracket assembly may include first and second shelf engaging portions that have mounting apertures therethrough. Wall fasteners may extend through the mounting apertures of the first and second shelf engaging portions to mount the mounting bracket assembly to the wall. The portions of the first and second shelf fasteners which protrude from the rear edge of the shelf may be inserted into the mounting apertures of the first and second shelf engaging portions of the mounting bracket assembly to couple the shelf to the mounting bracket assembly.

A collapsible, portable shelving unit that is useful within tents and the like when one is camping. The device is easy to pack and carry and is lightweight but will hold a fair amount of weight when in use. There is no requirement for supporting the shelving unit to posts or trees or the like, as the device is self-supportable, even when it contains various objects on the shelving. It is especially useful for tent camping.

A productivity station includes a bracket to anchor to a wall structural member and a workbench. The workbench has a top horizontal panel and a slot defined as an opening into an internal volume below the top horizontal panel, forming a T-slot along the workbench. Methods of manufacture and use of the productivity station are also disclosed.

A shelf storage system includes hang standards with slots arranged in rows, brackets connectable to the slots to suspend them in a cantilevered manner from the hang standards, and shelves adapted to be supported by brackets when suspended on spaced-apart hang standards. On the bottom side of a shelf are connectors at fixed locations for connecting the shelf to brackets when spaced a predetermined bracket-to-bracket distance apart. The hang standards have a plurality screw holes to connect the hang standard vertically on a vertical surface, such as a wall. The distance between at least two such screw holes corresponds to the predetermined bracket-to-bracket distance. To mark locations to install hang standards with proper spacing for brackets suspended from them to connect with the shelf, one of the hang standards is placed horizontally on the vertical surface to mark locations for the hang standards using the screw holes, thus simplifying installation of the system.

A kit that includes rod supports, three shelf bases, and first and second shelf supports. The first and second shelf supports are each separate from the three shelf bases. Each of the three shelf bases has first and second legs. The first leg is directly positionable against a wall and couplable thereto. The second leg supports at least a portion of the rod supports. The first shelf support is couplable to the second leg of the first shelf base to form a first brace. The first shelf support includes a first wall mount bracket that is directly positionable against the wall and is couplable thereto. The second shelf support is couplable to the second leg of the third shelf base to form a second brace. The second shelf support includes a second wall mount bracket that is directly positionable against the wall and is couplable thereto.

The specification discloses a method for containing spills on shelving and the like, and the resulting support members made in accordance with the method, by providing the generally flat top surface of a support with a hydrophobic surface which is arranged in a spill containment pattern and which is generally in the plane of the top surface of the support. The majority of the top surface of the support consists of one or more spill containment areas which are of a non-hydrophobic nature and which are bounded by the hydrophobic surfaces, such that spills on the shelving collect in the non-hydrophobic spill containment area or areas and are prevented from spreading by the hydrophobic surfaces.

A bottle rack includes a panel that has a front surface and an opposing back surface, and support bars cantilevered from the panel and extending from the front surface. Each of the support bars has a linear bottle supporting portion that is positioned, and that is at an acute angle, relative to the front surface such that at least two of the support bars can support a bottle while forcing the bottle against the front surface. The rack may be a label forward rack. Additionally, the various joints, grooves, and slots used to join the support bars to the panel may also be used to join any the support bars and panels of any suitable bottle rack.

A shelf assembly includes a shelf panel and a hydrophobic surface applied in a spill containment pattern on the top surface of the shelf panel adjacent to at least one of the left side, right side, front, and rear edges. The shelf panel has a top surface for supporting articles, opposite left and right side edges, and opposite front and rear edges. The spill containment pattern defines at least a portion of a boundary of a central portion of the top surface of the shelf panel. The spill containment pattern includes an outer edge containment strip disposed adjacent to at least one of the left side, right side, front, and rear edges of the shelf panel, an inner edge containment strip spaced inward from the outer edge containment strip, and a non-hydrophobic spill catch area disposed between the outer and inner edge containment strips.
