A cabinet assembly includes a cabinet body, a tiltable wire shelf, and a shelf mounting system. The cabinet body has a base, a top, and a pair of sides that extend between the base and the top to define an inner volume. The tiltable wire shelf is mounted in the inner volume of the cabinet body and includes a front bar, a rear bar, a pair of side bars, and a plurality of crossbars. The shelf mounting system supports the tiltable wire shelf on the cabinet body and comprises a pivot coupling between the cabinet body and the front or rear bar of the tiltable wire shelf, and a sliding coupling between the cabinet body and one of the side bars of the tiltable wire shelf. The couplings cooperate to provide tiltable adjustment of the tiltable wire shelf relative to the cabinet body over a range of angles.

The present invention is directed to a method of forming a container comprising forming a basket portion of metal mesh material and a rail connected to the basket portion. The rail extends substantially outwardly from the outer surface of the basket portion and the rail extends continuously around the outer surface of the basket portion. In one example, the method includes forming the rail so that it does not contain or surround a free edge of the basket portion. In another example, the method includes forming the rail so that it includes an opening for containing or surrounding a free edge of the basket portion. The method may also include forming a lower rail. The present invention is also directed to a container formed by such method.

A fastener for securing a rail to a wire shelf having a plurality of support rods extending in parallel spaced-apart fashion. The fastener has a fastener body with an elongate rail engaging flange, a shelf engaging flange, and a connecting shaft portion extending between the rail engaging flange and the shelf engaging flange. The rail engaging flange is insertable through an elongate opening of an the rail in a first orientation and, upon rotation of the fastener, the rail engaging flange is configured to extend across said elongate opening thereby restricting withdrawal therefrom, while the shelf engaging flange traps a support member of the shelf thereby interlocking the associated rail to the associated shelf.

A combined type shelf includes post combinations and at least one storage layer. The post combination includes a main post body, a fixation slot, at least one introduction hole and at least one installation hole. The fixation slot is disposed at a spacer plate of the main post body, the introduction hole is disposed at the spacer plate by neighboring the fixation slot, the installation hole is disposed at an installation plate of the main post body, the installation plate is connected with one side of the spacer plate, and the introduction hole is spatially connected with the installation hole. The storage layer includes protruding structures and mounting brackets. The protruding structure is engaged with the installation hole at the installation plate via the introduction hole at the spacer plate, and the mounting bracket is engaged with the fixation slot to mount the storage layer amid the post combinations.

The present invention relates to a novel cookware lid and utensil holder device that safely and securely stores hot cookware lids and/or utensils while cooking without placing the items on a countertop and/or stovetop. The device comprises a base unit and a tubular, metal stand comprising at least one U-shaped component that receives a cookware lid and/or utensil. Users place cookware lids and/or utensils on the U-shaped component for storage while cooking. Further, the device can be positioned near a stovetop, preventing users from having to place hot cookware lids and/or utensils directly on the stovetop and/or countertop.
