A modular shelf assembly that is adapted to interlock with adjacent modular shelf assemblies. The modular shelf assembly may include a shelf unit, a plurality of supports, and a plurality of feet. The shelf units, supports, and feet, in combination, are adapted to create the modular shelf assembly. The shelf unit may also be modular and have a shelf body that includes a cap. Each cap may have interlocking apertures that are adapted to receive interlocking components, which are used to connect multiple shelf assemblies.

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 is at least one traverse which includes a male frictional engagement member configured to engage with a removable female frictional engagement member disposed on each post. The post and traverse engage with each other so as to create a proportional or supportive reaction force in response to any shear force applied to the shelving system. Each of the female frictional engagement members has a tapered edge which forms a closely fitted coupling between the post and each traverse. Each of the female frictional engagement members may be selectively disposed in one of a plurality of positions along the height of each vertical post. The shelving system further includes top and bottom connectors, both of which also frictionally engage with the vertical posts.

A rack has a frame and a plurality of shelves. Each shelf has an enclosing frame member that has two first sides connected by two second sides, a connecting bar that connects the first sides at about the center of the first sides, a plurality of slots provided on the inner surfaces of the second sides, and a plurality of slats, each slat having opposing ends that are fitted into opposing slots at the second sides, and with each slat being connected to the connecting bar. At least one connector is provided for removably connecting each shelf to a portion of the frame.

A frame structure of aquaponic system assembled by module elements, comprising a base, at least a cultivating tank, a fix cover and a plurality of connecting members. Said elements of a frame structure are connected by the friction of elements through mortise-tenon joint and are easy for assembly and maintenance.

The present invention relates to a modular storage system for barrels. The modular storage system includes a base rick module, an aisle rick module, and an end rick module, whereby a plurality of each module type may be assembled to construct a rickhouse.

The present invention relates to an assembly station for assembling modules used in a modular storage system for barrels. The modular storage system includes a base rick module, an aisle rick module, and an end rick module, whereby a plurality of each module type may be assembled to construct a rickhouse. The assembly station can include a vertical post assembly station, transfer rollers, a main module assembly area, dunnage supports, and a dunnage feeder conveyor system.

A modular shelving unit includes a plurality of shelves supported by supports. Non-linear attachment pins are attached to the top of a lower shelf and received in upper supports which support an upper shelf. The attachment pins are bent so that they are wider than holes in the upper supports; bending the attachment pins elastically and maintaining them elastically bent when the shelving unit is in an assembled state.

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.

A modular frame assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a plurality of supports, and at least one connector for interconnecting the supports. The connector includes a base, a plurality of legs extending outwardly from the base, each leg defining a socket having an exterior surface that has a generally constant profile throughout the length of the leg, and a member that is movable between an engaged position in which it projects interiorly of the leg, and a disengaged position in which it is flush with the exterior surface, the member being biased to the disengaged position. Additional components, such as shelf supports, mounting brackets, shelf brackets, and risers, can be included in the assembly. The modular nature of the assembly allows for a wide arrangement of structures to be created.
