An article includes at least first and second members. A decorative object is within the second member. Interlocking features are adapted to removably interlock the first and second members together. The interlocking features include a channel and a rail that are complementarily shaped so that the rail is receivable within the channel to removably interlock the rail with the channel. At least the second member is formed of a translucent or transparent material so that the decorative object within the second member is visible through the member.

A device for fastening a planar object to a construction, including a first holding element and a second holding element which can be interlockingly connected to the first holding element. The first holding element, which can be connected to the construction or to the object or is an integral part of the construction or of the object, has a C- or U-shaped inner profile, in that the second holding element, which can be connected to the object or the construction or is an integral part of the object or the construction, has a C- or U-shaped outer profile, and in that the C- or U-shaped outer profile can be interlockingly accommodated in the inner profile and can be clamped against the inner profile by means of a clamping element.

Bin and shelf mounting systems including at least one mounting bracket and a bin or shelf and methods of installing said bins or shelves to a wall. The at least one mounting bracket configured with a truncated wedge shape and beveled side edges. The bin and shelf include at least one recess on a rear wall thereof. The at least one recess includes (i) a downward-facing cavity at a top portion of the recess, (ii) side edges that are beveled, and (iii) a truncated wedge shape complimentary to the at least one mounting bracket. The recess is configured to slidably engage the at least one mounting bracket. A multi-hook system including a mounting bracket and a plurality of face plates.

A self-sustaining shelf system is provided that comprises a board, with two faces and one thickness, at least two mounting hardware and two anchoring elements and fixing elements to a supporting wall. Each mounting hardware comprises two side walls, with a separation space between them, and a bottom wall. The side walls of each support element define a substantially rectangular groove with dimensions substantially equal to the thickness of the board to embrace it in a substantially perpendicular direction, with a deviation of between 0° and 5°, extending over the faces of said board. In a particularly preferred embodiment, at least one of the mounting hardware of the self-supporting shelf system includes an insertion-mounting and ratchet mechanism made up of four elements that, on the one hand, allow the board to be inserted into the groove of each hardware, up to the back wall, and, on the other hand, they make it possible to anchor and immobilize the board to prevent its unwanted detachment.

A combined type shelf includes double-rod frames, connecting assemblies, double-rod frames and storage-layer connector structures. The double-rod frame includes vertical post assemblies and horizontal rods, and the vertical post assembly includes a first straight upright rod and a second straight upright rod parallel to each other to provide a gap for receiving therebetween ends of the plurality of horizontal rods. The connecting assembly includes a main body, a back portion, a horizontal-rod engaging groove, a vertical-rod engaging groove and a first connecting-piece engaging cavity. The storage layer is disposed between the double-rod frames. The storage-layer connector structure, disposed to the storage layer, includes an inserting piece to be plugged into the first connecting-piece engaging cavity to connect each of the storage-layer connector structures to the connecting assembly to assemble the storage layer to the double-rod frame.

A floating shelf system for a desk provides floating shelf brackets with plates mounted to both sides of a stud in a wall. A beam extends from the plates and have a fork with a pair of prongs secured along side the plates. The beam and the prongs are formed by a pair of outer square tubes and a center rectangular tube. The tubes form a rectangular and oblong cross-section with a pair of webs.

A shelf-supporting device configured to create a reversible connection of a shelf with an opposite shoulder of a piece of furniture includes a shelf bracket having a main body, which has a shaped profile and a solid section at its front area, with a pin protruding from the front area so that forces can be transferred from the pin to an area of the main body in having greater resistance to the loads carried by the device.

In various representative aspects, an apparatus for securing accessories to a steel-wired shelf. More specifically, the apparatus is an interface that conforms to the shapes of openings in the side panels on the shelf units and provides an interference fit. A variety of accessories can be secured to the interfaces by using a standard nut and bolt connection means. A second embodiment pertains to an interface that is secured to the evenly spaced horizontal wire arrays on the shelves that can level objects that are placed on top of the wire array. Various embodiments of the apparatuses are also provided.

The invention provides apparatus for mounting a furniture unit to a wall and, in particular, to wall studs. The apparatus includes sliding fixings that allow the spacing between fixing members to be adjusted and, thereby, allow the horizontal position of the furniture unit to adjusted to any desired position relative to the wall studs.
