The vertical supports have at least one axially extending row of holes, the frames have four struts, and the connectors are designed to be introduced into a hole a vertical support and secured to a mounting corner piece of a frame. The structural system is designed such that, in an assembled state, a frame of the set of frames is secured by its mounting corner pieces to four vertical supports via a relevant connector, two respective neighboring vertical supports that are connected to one another via one of the struts of the at least one frame define a support plane, and the four struts of the at least one frame lie outside the support planes defined by the four vertical supports connected to the frame.

A shelf assembly for a refrigerator includes a frame assembly having front and rear frame members with respective front and rear channels. A panel includes first and second ends, wherein the first end is fully received in the front channel, and further wherein the second end is partially received in the rear channel. A spacer assembly includes a spacer member and one or more clip members extending upwardly from a base portion. The clip members are clipped to mounting apertures disposed on the second portion of the rear frame member. The spacer member is received through a receiving aperture disposed through the rear frame member. The spacer member extends into the rear channel and engages the second end of the panel when the spacer assembly is clipped to the rear frame member to retain the panel in the channels of the front and rear frame members.

Shelve brackets and shelf arrangements are provided. First and second brackets are provided. Each bracket has a support section, a mounting section and a transition section. The mounting section is laterally offset from the support section. The support section includes a vertical, top and bottom flange portions. The top and bottom flange portions are vertically spaced and extend from a first side of vertical flange portion in a direction the support section is offset from the mounting section. The transition section of the first bracket offsets the support section of the first bracket towards the second bracket and the transition section of the second bracket offsetting the support section of the second bracket towards the first bracket.

A furniture panel and a furniture assembly which incorporates such a panel. The panel is formed from at least two structural components including a first structural component being an edge structure and a second or subsequent structural component(s) selected from one or more cover sheet(s) and one or more edge structure(s). At least one internal fixing element is also provided to engage together at least two of said structural components, with the internal fixing element or elements being at least partially enclosed within a housing defined by the engagement of said structural components. The housing defined at least partially conceals the internal fixing element from view.

An appliance includes a cabinet that has an inner surface. A frame is coupled to the inner surface of the cabinet. The frame includes a frame boss that extends from a bottom surface thereof. A panel is positioned within the frame. The frame extends along a perimeter of the panel. An inner trim member has a flange that extends therefrom. The flange defines an aperture configured to align with the frame boss. A fastener is configured to extend through the aperture and engage the frame boss to couple the inner trim member with the frame. An outer trim member is disposed over the inner trim member. The inner trim member is configured to slidably receive the outer trim member.

The invention involves a system and method for retrofitting a cabinet to accommodate wheelchair accessibility, which employs a retractable shelf configured to expand and retract for concealing and revealing a wheelchair accessible space. In exemplary embodiments, the retractable shelf is situated between the left panel and the right panel and in proximity to a floor space of the cabinet, wherein the retractable shelf is configured to retract and expand to reveal or conceal the wheelchair accessible space. The retractable shelf may include a plurality of panels hingedly coupled together, such as a posterior panel and an anterior panel, some of the panels configured to fold, such that at least one of the plurality of panels folds on top of the posterior panel in order to reveal or conceal the wheelchair accessible space. The invention allows retrofitting of any type of cabinet for wheelchair accessibility.

A rack assembly has two support frames and at least one shelf that are secured to the support frames by connecting assemblies. Each connecting assembly comprises a well secured to a medial surface of each vertical tube of the support frame, and a hook that extends from each end of each shelf, with each hook having an opening extending therethrough. The connecting assembly also includes a connector that is seated inside each well, each connector having a top plate that has an elongated opening, the connector also having a body that is sized and configured to fit inside a well, the body defining two wings with a space between the wings, and wherein each wing has a bump positioned in the center of the inner surface of each wing that faces the space. Each hook is inserted through the elongated opening of a corresponding connector with the bump on each wing fitted inside the opening of the hook to retain the hook inside the body of the connector.

A press locked grating, in particular for use as a shelf for plate or heavy-duty shelves, has two longitudinal sides and cross members and longitudinal members having an I-shaped profile arranged between the longitudinal sides and at right angles to each other. The longitudinal members are inserted or pressed into punched holes of the cross members open towards the grating upper side. The longitudinal sides are formed in cross-section as a profile that includes at least first and second orthogonal legs. Each cross member has a punched hole at each end, in which the first leg is arranged and firmly connected thereto by a connecting method. The first leg is inserted or pressed into the punched hole, thereby achieving a first connection of the profile to the cross member, and has at least one deformation, thereby fixing the insertion or press connection of the cross member to the profile.

An interactive display for a kiosk for mounting on an existing retail structure in order to display one or more objects comprises an LED module frame, a plurality of LED module mountings, and one or more LED modules comprising an array of LEDs, the modules being removably supported on the LED module mountings, wherein each of the LED modules are coupled to an electrical power source when mounted and individually detectable and programmable.

A refrigerator shelf assembly includes a frame having a depth and a first support element extending along the depth and defining a first track open in a lateral direction perpendicular to the depth. The support element further defines a first open area along a first side of the track and extending between an adjacent portion of the track and an exterior of the first support element and a cantilever arm having a free end adjacent the first open area. The cantilever arm is resiliently deformable away from a plane defined along the first side of the track. The assembly further includes an insert slidably received within the track and moveable along the depth of the first track through a fixed range of motion, wherein the insert is disposed over an expanse of the first open area.
