A mounting device for quick and easy mounting of an electronic device includes a mounting rack, a locking mechanism, and a support rack. The locking mechanism includes a movable locking rack, a shaft connected to the locking rack, and a locking ring on the shaft. The support rack includes an engaging element and groove, and when the support rack is moved toward the mounting rack during mounting, the free end of the engaging element passes through the lower side of the locking rack, and pushes against the locking ring. When mounted on the mounting rack, the bottom of the locking ring is in the engaging groove. When the support rack is raised up, the engaging element raises the locking rack to the magnetic part, and the locking rack is magnetically held to the magnetic part.

Disclosed is a system for real-time measurement of inventory on shelves. The system uses light sensors placed in association with the inventory and the shelves to measure in real-time the removal/replacement of inventory from the shelves. When inventory is on the shelves, less light reaches the light sensors. As inventory is removed from shelves, the light sensors receive more light. The difference in light received generates as signal that can be measured, thereby allowing for determining inventory levels on each shelf. The system may be retro-fitted to existing shelving systems, thereby avoiding the cost of purchasing new shelving systems. The system can work on any shelving system, including gravity-feed roller shelf (GRS), flat shelves, and spring loaded pusher shelves, and is unaffected by usual temperatures found in retail establishments and can thus work in both refrigerated and unrefrigerated systems. Also disclosed are related methods.

Provided is a wall mounting system including at least one wall mount articulable to a wall, and at least one coupling member; the mounting portion includes two parallelly disposed side walls with a locking portion at a distal end thereof, for snug insertion into the locking slot of the wall mount; and the coupling member is configured with an obstructing plunger slidingly displaceable within a space between side walls, between a locked position, at which the plunger at least partially projects into the first locking recess, and an unlocked position at which the plunger is retracted into the space and out of the first locking recess. Further provided is a tolerance cancelation mechanism for a wall coupling member articulable to a wall mount, including a pivotal fastener member configured with an asymmetric sector-like shape with a wall engaging arc surface for bearing against a wall surface.

Connecting element for a piece of furniture for connecting a first furniture component, for example a side wall, to a second furniture component extending obliquely to the first furniture component, for example a shelf support or a shelf, without additional material-locking means and without additional fastening means, including: a first functional section for a first snap-in device which, in the assembled state, forms a first form-fit of the connecting element with the first furniture component, a second functional section for a second snap-in device which, in the assembled state, forms a second form fit of the connecting element with the second furniture component, a receiving area in which, in the assembled state, a section of the second furniture component is received, and a third functional section for a third snap-in device which, in the assembled state, forms a third form fit of the connecting element with a cladding element which covers the receiving area at least partially, preferably completely, towards a visible side of the piece of furniture, and/or a fourth functional section for a fourth snap-in device which, in the assembled state, fixes a rear wall of the piece of furniture.

A wine rack includes a first support frame configured to be mounted to a support surface. The first support frame includes a base and at least one arm extending from the base, with the at least one arm being configured to support a first portion of a bottle. The wine rack further includes a second support frame configured to be mounted to the support surface in spaced relation to the first support frame. The second support frame includes a base and at least one arm extending from the base, with the at least one arm being configured to support a second portion of the bottle. The at least one arm of the first and second support frames includes one or more bottle contoured gravity stops. The at least one arm of the first and second support frames may also be inclined. A method of making a wine rack is also disclosed.

A shelf support includes: a generally planar main body with front and rear faces, the main body further having upper and lower openings with a cross-beam therebetween; a support flange extending generally perpendicularly from the front face; a mounting dowel extending generally perpendicularly from the rear face; a capturing finger mounted at an upper edge of the upper opening, the capturing finger extending forwardly and downwardly at a first oblique angle to the front face; and a centering finger extending forwardly and downwardly from the cross-beam at a second oblique angle to the front face.

Structures and methods of fabrication for articles of furniture that include generalized sideway-disposed containers and outside frames configured to maintain the structural integrity of such containers, to prevent and/or avoid problems of deformation of the furniture piece that carries a weight-load, especially deformation caused by lack of support of such article from the bottom. The frame is juxtaposed with at least two outside surfaces of the piece of furniture article along the lengths of such surfaces.

Furniture articles have an integrally formed shell that generally has rounded features, the shell diminishing in circumference outwardly from a mounting surface, and a mounting portion configured to secure the shell to the mounting surface. A perimeter edge of the shell defines a mounting plane against which the mounting surface is to be secured. When the shell is secured to the mounting surface, the mounting portion is inaccessible and hidden from view. Furniture includes a shelving unit, a desk unit, a seating unit, and a bed.

A shelf includes a shelf panel and an illumination module. The shelf panel has an upper surface, a lower surface, and an edge extending between the upper and lower surfaces. The upper surface is capable of supporting articles thereon. The illumination module is coupled to the shelf panel and includes a first plurality of lights emitting visible light when powered, and a second plurality of lights emitting light having a germicidal effect when powered.

A tool storage system has a universal mounting bracket coupled to a support surface formed with a plurality of apertures that align with differently sized support arms that support a tool therefrom. The apertures are aligned along a common horizontal plane and the support arms have different heights that allow tools to be hung therefrom in a nesting relationship so that more tools can occupy less space or area relative to the support surface. The nesting relationship of the tools provides for a first tool supported by the first arm to fit within a space defined by the second tool supported by the second arm. In some instance, the first and second arms may be part of a pair of support arms, respectively.
