In accordance with various embodiments of the invention, a support assembly or apparatus is disclosed that strengthens the planar load support of planar surfaces supported at the ends.

The invention relates to a shelf support for supporting a shelf plate and to an arrangement in a shelf. The shelf support comprises a support part arranged to be extending outside of the side wall aperture, a pin part arranged to be inserted into the side wall aperture and a stopping surface provided to the support part. The pin part protrudes from the stopping surface and the stopping surface is arranged to be placed against the side wall surface when the pin part is inserted into the side wall aperture. The pin part further extends from the stopping surface in a pin angle (X, Y) in relation to a direction (A) perpendicular to the stopping surface.

A storage system includes at least one upright rail having a front side with notches formed along a length thereof, the at least one upright rail arranged to be attached to an upright support surface. A bracket is arranged to be attached to the at least one upright rail, the bracket including a substrate and a plurality of hooks extending therefrom which are arranged to be received in a corresponding plurality of the notches, the plurality of hooks disposed only along a first portion of the substrate and not along a second portion of the substrate to define an open region of the bracket. The open region allows for attachment of at least one additional hardware member in a shared section with the bracket along the length of the front side of the at least one upright rail.

A shelf is provided including shelf frames having hole lines, in particular formed by one front and one rear bar each and comprising pull-out rails which extend substantially horizontally along one shelf frame each, in particular from a front bar to a rear bar, and are mounted thereon via a front rail holder and via a rear rail holder. An upper and a lower hook pin are formed on each rail holder, which hook pins are intended for engagement in holes of the hole lines and engage behind wall regions adjacent to the holes, in particular bar wall regions. The upper hook pin of the rear rail holder points upwards. The lower hook pin of the rear rail holder points upwards.

An upper and a lower hook pin are formed on each rail holder, which hook pins are intended for engagement in holes of the hole lines and engage behind wall regions adjacent to the holes, in particular bar wall regions. The upper hook pin of the rear rail holder points upwards. The lower hook pin of the rear rail holder points upwards.

A stacking bracket with locking tabs for easily, economically, and securely attaching and horizontal shelving to an upright shelving support post rack assembly as well as connecting and stacking such rack assemblies vertically together, the system and component parts being adaptable and configurable such that shelves, drawers, and other rack accessory elements may be readily incorporated into the system, assembly, and methods for use of same.

A shelving system includes a support post having a mounting surface and a plurality of vertically spaced retention members extending from the mounting surface. A shelf includes a bracket member configured for coupling to a first of the vertically spaced retention members. A support bracket includes an attachment portion configured for coupling to a second of the vertically spaced retention members adjacent the first vertically spaced retention member and a support portion configured for coupling to the bracket member.

A storage system includes at least one upright rail having a front side with notches formed along a length thereof, the at least one upright rail arranged to be attached to an upright support surface. A bracket is arranged to be attached to the at least one upright rail, the bracket including a substrate and a plurality of hooks extending therefrom which are arranged to be received in a corresponding plurality of the notches, the plurality of hooks disposed only along a first portion of the substrate and not along a second portion of the substrate to define an open region of the bracket. The open region allows for attachment of at least one additional hardware member in a shared section with the bracket along the length of the front side of the at least one upright rail.

A storage enclosure includes a first support member spaced from a second support member. The first support member includes a first rotating shelf support and the second support member includes a second rotating shelf support. A third support member is spaced from a fourth support member. The third support member includes a first fixed shelf support and a second fixed shelf support and the fourth support member includes a third fixed shelf support and a fourth fixed shelf support. A shelf includes a first end connected to the first rotating shelf support and the second rotating shelf support and a second end. The shelf is positionable in a first configuration and a second configuration.

A quadrangular furniture element, in particular a shelf with at least one bearing plane, has a base, a cover panel, and at least one profiled element which is secured between the base and the cover panel. A translation-rotation fitting is arranged on the base lower face facing away from the cover panel and/or on the cover panel upper face facing away from the base, the translation-rotation fitting being usable for moving the furniture element from a starting position into an open end position and back into the starting position in a combined translation-rotation movement, wherein at least one receiving element for fixing the at least one profiled element is arranged in an edge region of the base and the cover panel. A piece of furniture can have at least one such furniture element.
