A cantilever shelving system is disclosed and can include a frame structure, a cantilever shelf support structure, and a plurality of load-bearing shelves that can be supported by the cantilever shelf support structure and the frame structure. The shelves can be positioned laterally adjacent to cantilever support arms of the cantilever shelf support structure, and the shelf support surfaces can be coplanar with upper walls of the cantilever support arms. Ends of laterally adjacent shelves do not overlap with a front side of a vertical support member to which the cantilever support arm is mounted. The cantilever shelving system can accommodate various user requirements over known shelf systems and can be operably integrated with standard industrial and/or commercial machinery or equipment with which it may be used.

Method and apparatus for a semi-circular bracket for holding plants or the like having a plurality of receptacles for receiving the stems of a plurality of radially extending arms or the like wherein the plant bracket has a base with planar portions thereon for use in mounting the bracket either on a wall or about a central pole by using a separate mounting plate. The semi-circular bracket has a plurality of receptacles therein configured for use with set screws to hold the ends of the arms in the receptacle so that the limbs cannot fall out of the receptacles.

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.

The present invention discloses a shoe rack unit and a corresponding shoe rack, comprising: a main body, said main body is a hollow body having a hollow chamber formed by winding a strip-like structure; the opposite ends of the hollow chamber is in communication with each other, and form an opening for getting and putting away shoes. The shoe rack unit of the present invention has a simple and reasonably designed, saves raw materials, and has good air ventilation.

A method of assembling a rack shelving unit including first and second side frames, at least one beam, and one or more tie bars. The beam can be coupled to the side frames, and the tie bar can be resiliently compressed and retained to secure the tie bar to the beam.

A stackable can rack assembly provides a plurality of modular racks that facilitate both the loading of cans and the presentation of the cans for removal by a consumer. Multiple modular racks can be configured in a variety of stacked arrangement. A plurality of shelves are disposed at a slope to create a gravity fed arrangement to enable the cans to roll forward for dispensing. A pair of side panels support the shelves. The side panels comprise a top flat bar defined by a convex hump having a flat surface, and a bottom flat bar defined by a concave hump having a flat surface. The humps couple together and the flat surface enhance stability for stacking multiple modular racks. At least one bracket affixes to the bottom flat bar to fasten the top and bottom flat bars together. A back panel provide structural integrity to the modular racks.

A mechanism for unlocking an elevated lower rack is provided in an arrangement for a dishwasher being capable of elevating the lower rack from a lower position to an upper position and locking the elevated lower rack in the upper position. The elevating arrangement may include a spring loaded pivot arm arrangement to be attached in one end to a tub of the dishwasher and in another end to the lower rack for elevating the lower rack from the lower position inside the tub to the upper position at least partially outside the tub. The elevating arrangement may further include a locking mechanism arranged between the spring loaded pivot arm arrangement and the lower rack, which may lock the spring loaded pivot arm arrangement when the lower rack has been elevated to the upper position, thereby fixing the lower rack in the upper position.

A shoe rock for holding organizing and holding shoes is provided. The shoe rack may include a base detachably connected to a first side rail and a second side rail, the first side rail and the second side rail extending upward from the base at an angle from 45 degrees to less than 90 degrees; and a plurality of shelves, each shelf comprising (a) a shelf platform; (b) a first joint detachably connected to the first side rail; and (c) a second joint detachably connected to the second side rail. The plurality of shelves can be at least three shelves. In addition, the present invention may include a kid for a shoe rack that includes a base, a first and second side rail, where each side rail has an angled first end that has an angle from 45 degrees to less than 90 degrees, a plurality of shelves that each has a platform, a first joint and a second joint and includes a plurality of fasteners.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a dispenser configured for storing one or more items and dispensing the stored items to authorized users. According to various embodiments, the dispenser generally includes a housing defining an interior portion dimensioned to receive a plurality of items and an access assembly configured to prevent unauthorized user access to the interior portion of the dispenser while providing selective access to certain items in response to input received from an authorized user. According to various embodiments, the access assembly comprises a pair of flexible barriers coupled to a sliding door assembly, which includes one or more lockable access doors. Together, the door assembly and flexible barriers prevent access to the interior of the dispenser when in a locked configuration and permit access to certain items when in an unlocked configuration.
