FLOATING SHELF BRACKETS AND METHODS OF USING SAME
A floating shelf includes a plank shelf, and a floating shelf bracket, configured to support the plank shelf, including a support connector and two or more shelf supports attached to one another by the support connector. The support connector and the two or more shelf supports may be permanently attached to one another so that the floating shelf bracket is a unitary, single-piece bracket. The support connector and the two or more shelf supports may be removably attached to one another.
Spill containing refrigerator shelf assembly
The specification discloses a method for containing spills on shelving and the like, and the resulting support members made in accordance with the method, by providing the generally flat top surface of a support with a hydrophobic surface which is arranged in a spill containment pattern and which is generally in the plane of the top surface of the support. The majority of the top surface of the support consists of one or more spill containment areas which are of a non-hydrophobic nature and which are bounded by the hydrophobic surfaces, such that spills on the shelving collect in the non-hydrophobic spill containment area or areas and are prevented from spreading by the hydrophobic surfaces.
Electric shelf
An electric shelf which has at least one column to be installed on a wall, a slidable component arranged on the column to slide along the column vertically, at least one layer of shelf board component connected to the slidable component to move simultaneously with the slidable component, and a linear driving device connected to the slidable component and the column to actuate the slidable component to move relative to the column. Advantages of the present disclosure compared to prior arts include a simpler structure and less space occupied by the shelf board component.
Furniture system
A furniture system is provided having a support to be mounted to an upright structure of a building, and a shelf that is assembled onto the support. The shelf has a load-bearing surface, a front side, and a rear side with a first connector. The support has an outer face that includes at least one second connector. The first and second connectors are configured to interconnect such that, in the assembled the furniture system, the shelf is supported by the support with the load bearing surface projecting horizontally away from the upright structure, the first and second connectors resist rotation of the shelf about the first and second connectors by a force acting downwardly through the load bearing surface, and the first and second connectors resist disconnection of the shelf from the support by force applied to the shelf in a direction that is normal to the support.
SHELVING SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
A shelf assembly comprising a plurality of shelf modules joined together to provide a product support surface, wherein each shelf module comprises, a pair of substantially parallel, lengthwise extending side edges comprising joining means cooperative with a joining element to join adjacent shelf modules along contiguous side edges thereof, and wherein each joining element is made from a material of higher specific strength than the shelf modules, such that the shelf assembly has sufficient strength and rigidity that it does not need to rest upon a conventional pre-provided shelf.
Portable paper organizer
Disclosed are various embodiments of a free standing paper organizational system comprising: a base; at least one vertical support member having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to the base; a handle component coupled to the second end of the at least one vertical support member; at least one fixed or removable shelf unit comprising a first shelf member extending from the vertical support member at a predetermined angle.
Roller rack assembly
A roller rack assembly for storing and displaying one or more products, the roller rack assembly including a support tray and a roller track assembly disposed on the support tray. The roller track assembly includes at least one roller track, a front end cap attached to a front end of the roller track, and a rear end cap attached to a rear end of the roller track. A plurality of cylindrical rollers are mounted to the roller track and arranged parallel to one another, with lateral sides perpendicular to a rotational axis. Each roller has an axle extending out of each lateral side. Each axle is mounted to a side wall of the roller track. A pusher mechanism is provided that includes a pusher back located above the roller track and a spring mechanism biasing the pusher back toward the front end of the roller track.
FLOATING SHELF BRACKETS AND METHODS OF USING SAME
A floating shelf, comprising: (1) a shelf; and (2) a floating shelf bracket that is configured to support the shelf and that comprises a support connector and two or more shelf supports that are attached to one another by the support connector. The support connector and the two or more shelf supports may be attached to one another so that the floating shelf bracket is a unitary, single-piece bracket. In various embodiments, the top surface of each of the two or more shelf supports is positioned below a top of the support connector so that when a bottom surface of the shelf is positioned on the top surface of each of the two or more shelf supports, the top of the support connector is substantially concealed behind the shelf.
Illuminated shelf assemblies
A shelf assembly for an enclosure includes a shelf panel having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an edge extending between the upper and lower surfaces. The edge includes front, rear, and side edges. A light housing is coupled to the shelf panel and includes one or more walls defining an interior. The light housing includes front, rear, and side portions disposed adjacent to the front, rear, and side edges of the shelf panel, respectively. A plurality of light sources received within the light housing to project light outwardly therefrom.
