Disclosed is a utility rack system that includes shelves having a first end, a second end, and a pair of end supports. Each of the pair of end supports is configured to support either the first end or the second end of the one or more elongated shelves. Each of the pair of end supports includes a first vertical member and a second vertical member, an upper cross member pivotally coupled at a first end to the first vertical member and pivotally coupled at a second end to the second vertical member, and a lower cross member pivotally coupled at a first end to the first vertical member and pivotally coupled at a second end to the second vertical member. The utility rack system also includes a diagonal support having a sliding lock mechanism coupling a first end of the diagonal support to the first vertical member.

A hook connection structure of a shelf is configured to connect a fixing rod between two hooks which are connected on two bottoms of two connection racks, and the fixing rod is mounted below a holding plate by using the two hooks. The hook connection structure contains: a respective one hook including a connection portion which has an extension, an engagement section, a contact rib, and a stop tab. A respective one of two connection racks includes a slot formed on an elongated portion of the respective one connection rack, a notch defined on the slot, such that the stop tab of the extension of the respective hook abuts against the elongated portion of the respective one rack, the respective one hook is connected on a bottom of the respective one connection rack, and the fixing rod is mounted below the holding plate to hang objects.

The shelf includes a base having a first flat major surface, the base including at least one bracket connected to the base, a first end of the at least one bracket extending upward and away from the first flat major surface, the first end defining a hook near a second end of the base, the hook including a first mating surface that is arcuate-shaped and concave, an extension segment connected to the first end of the base, the extension segment defining a second mating surface that is arcuate-shaped and concave, the first mating surface and the second mating surface opposing each other on the first end of the base.

A storage rack apparatus including a locking mechanism that secures a bracket (10) to a supporting member such as a wall-mounted rail (48) or panel (54). A securing bar (36) is rotatably attached to the body (12) of the bracket and is rotatable between unlocked (FIGS. 3 and 6) and locked (FIGS. 4, 5, 7, and 8) positions. In the unlocked position, an unlocking portion (44) of the securing bar does not make contact with the rail or panel. In the locked position, a locking portion (46) of the securing bar makes forced contact with a front surface (50, 62) of the supporting member, thereby placing the hooks (24, 26) of the bracket into frictional engagement with the rear surface (16) of the supporting member to resist movement of the bracket from its installed position.

A frame structure (100) for a piece of furniture comprising struts (1) which are capable of forming legs (101) of the piece of furniture, cross-pieces (2) which connect, in accordance to a grid-like structure, the struts (1), and connection means (300) which are configured to join the struts (1) and the cross-pieces (2), wherein the connection means (300) comprise at least two bent extensions (21, 22) which are capable of engagement in corresponding seats (11, 12) which are formed in the strut (1) and in the cross-piece (2), respectively, or vice versa, and further comprising a fixing element (3) which includes an abutment surface (30), a threaded seat (31) and a corresponding screw (4) which has a head (40) which is capable of an approach movement towards/withdrawal movement from the abutment surface (30) by means of screwing in the threaded seat (31), the fixing element (3) being configured in such a manner that the abutment surface (30) and the head (40) of the screw (4) abut the strut (1) and the cross-piece (2), respectively, or vice versa, as a result of the mutual approach/withdrawal movement.

The invention is a customizable, slidable shelving and support apparati and system for supporting, storing and accessing horticultural and agricultural specimens within growing spaces, allowing growers to utilize the maximum amount of their linear horizontal and vertical grow space and service specific areas of the garden enterprise while also allowing for maximum workspace through the use of a table and track system that provides stackable options of multiple grow layers. A method of using this slidable shelving and support apparati and system is also included.

A vacuum insulated appliance includes an outer wrapper and an inner liner. A ladder rack is coupled to the inner liner. The ladder rack includes first and second sidewalls coupled together by a connecting wall that defines a plurality of apertures. An adapter member includes a hook configured to extend through an aperture of the plurality of apertures when coupled to the ladder rack. The adapter member is coupled with a locking member that engages inner surface of first and second sidewalls of the ladder rack. A cantilever support is coupled to the adapter member and extends outward from the ladder rack. A rail assembly is coupled to an upper surface of the cantilever support. A spacer is coupled to an end of the cantilever support and abuts an inner liner surface. A storage feature is coupled to the rail assembly and is operable between stowed and deployed positions.

Adjustable organizer shelf system and assemblies for use with an appliance are provided. Shelf assembly includes a pair of brackets and a fixed shelf mounted between the brackets. Shelf assembly also includes a movable shelf with a pair of rear lower hinges and a pair of lower guides. Shelf assembly also includes a lifting arm assembly attaching the movable shelf to the brackets. The lifting arm assembly can include a pair of lifting arms attached to each of the brackets. Lifting arm assembly also include an upper rear hinge affixed to each bracket, an upper guide affixed to each bracket, and a roller disposed within each of the upper guides and lower guides. The end of each lifting arm can be fastened to one of the rollers disposed with each of the guides.
