A storage rack assembly includes a storage rack structure that can include a plurality of columns and a plurality of beams interconnecting the columns such that a plurality of storage bays are formed above a base surface. A plurality of storage deck sections include a first storage deck section supported on the storage rack structure within a first storage bay and a second deck section supported within a second storage bay. The first and second storage rack sections are at least partially supported on a common beam of the storage rack structure with one of the first and second storage rack sections including a decking support channel. The decking support channel includes a channel end portion positioned along the common beam with the channel end portion including a clearance tunnel dimensioned to receive a deck wire of the other of the first and second storage rack sections.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus comprising a heavy duty shelving assembly. The apparatus comprises shelving assemblies that may be used to store relatively heavy objects such as vehicle components, athletic weights, or the like. The apparatus comprises a plurality of vertical columns including column members that are selectively coupled to one another, a plurality of horizontal supports that extend between the column members, and a plurality of shelves that are positioned on the horizontal supports. The apparatus may also include a center brace extending between opposing horizontal supports. The horizontal supports include a truss portion connected to a support portion; the truss portion distributes the downward forces applied to the support portion by the shelves. The design of the apparatus and the truss increases the downward forces that may be applied to the shelf, thereby increasing the weight capacity of the shelves and the apparatus. The column members are configured for selective coupling by incorporating a main portion that comprises a plurality of apertures and a coupling portion that extends outward from the main portion such that it may accept at least part of a main portion of an adjacent column member. The coupling portion further comprises one or more engagement tabs that are configured to engage the apertures of an adjacent column member. In at least one embodiment, the engagement tabs are formed through stamping, thereby minimizing or entirely eliminating areas where stress can concentrate when the apparatus is under load. This feature reduces or eliminates the potential of a partial failure when the apparatus is under load.

A support apparatus for supporting and displaying hanging articles, the apparatus includes a support arm extending from a first end to a second end; an attachment member secured to the first end of the support arm; and knobs to receive the hanging articles; the attachment member is to tighten onto a closet bar; and the support arm extends substantially perpendicular away from the closet bar.

A clipper holder, for electrical hair clippers, includes an upper enclosure with a major arc element having a diameter to accommodate the clipper. Left and right portions of the major arc element terminate in opposing blunt ends. The space between the opposing ends is wide enough to allow passage of the clipper's cord. A lower enclosure has a smaller major arc element that is coplanar and coaxial with the upper enclosure. The smaller major arc element can accommodate the clipper's cord. Left and right portions of the smaller major arc element are contiguous with curvilinear portions that extend forward, curving upward toward the opposing blunt ends, finishing as vertical extensions with blunt tips. The vertical extensions prevent forward movement of an enclosed clipper. The smaller major arc element prevents movement anywhere else but up. An angled connecting rear rod supports the enclosures and is attached to a mounting plate.

A shelving system includes brackets attached to support posts to hold the shelves above a horizontal support surface, such as a ground or floor. The support posts have a plurality of spaced apart projecting pins extending from opposite sidewalls thereof. The brackets each have a flange that defines holes to receive respective ones of the projecting pins. Each bracket is further secured to a support post with a C-shaped locking clip having first and second arms with hook-shaped fingers that hook around respective pins on opposite sidewalls of the support post. One of the arms of the C-shaped locking clip holds the bracket flange against the inner sidewall of the support post and the hook-shaped finger of such arm mates with one of the pins received in one of the holes of the bracket.

A wall mount adaptor of embodiments of the disclosed technology includes a wire loop with a plurality of front and back crossbars and a plurality of removably attachable shelves. Each shelf of the plurality of shelves may be removably attached by placing a curved portion of the shelf over a front crossbar, passing a back portion of the shelf between the front crossbar and a back crossbar (such as a back crossbar which corresponds to the front crossbar), and rotating the shelf such that the back portion thereof abuts the back crossbar.

A draining rack is configured including a fixed rack and a movable rack supported such that it can be tilted with respect to the fixed rack. The movable rack is supported by the fixed rack such that it can be tilted (rotated) between an upright position at which it stands upright on the front side of the fixed rack and a tilted position at which it is tilted from the upright position. By rotating the movable rack from the tilted position to the upright position in a state in which a cleaning sponge is held (interposed) between the fixed rack and the movable rack, this arrangement is capable of squeezing the cleaning sponge. This allows the draining time for the cleaning sponge to be reduced.

A cake stacking system for supporting a multi-tiered cake includes a center rod that extends from a bottom of a base tier of the multi-tiered cake to an interior portion of an uppermost tier of the multi-tiered cake, and a plurality of peripheral rods arranged around the center rod, the plurality of peripheral rods disposed in each tier of the multi-tiered cake except for the uppermost tier of the multi-tiered cake. The center rod includes at least one first rod having a first height and one second rod having a second height. The first height is greater than the second height. Each peripheral rod includes a tubular member and a flange coupled to one end of the tubular member. The flange maintains a vertical position of the tubular member and supports a bottom surface of an above tier of the multi-tiered cake.

Described is a bagging station that uses a bag retaining fixture. The bag retaining fixture holds paper bags open at the bagging station so the paper bags can be filled without the bag moving or falling off the bagging station. The bag retaining fixture includes a plate and an elongate rod. The plate is coupled to the bagging station. The elongate rod is coupled to the plate such that the elongate rod captures a side of a paper bag between the elongate rod and a side wall of the bagging station. The bagging station can have a number of bag retaining fixtures coupled to it, so that a number of paper bags can be held open at a time, and filled with purchased items.
