Storage system and hardware
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.
Suspension system for storage components
The present disclosure relates to a suspension system with a rear rail, configured to be arranged on a wall or the like, and a hang standard with rear leg portions comprising suspension slots arranged in each of the leg portions and being configured to connect with the lower flange of the rear rail. The rear rail further comprises an upper flange, and each of the hang standard leg portions comprise a mounting slot adapted to connect with the upper flange of the rear rail. The upper and lower flanges at least partially extend in different directions.
Charging locker
A charging locker includes a charging locker frame defining a locker stack compartment and an adjacent wiring and access compartment. A plurality of lockers are located within the locker stack compartment. A plurality of locker doors are provided which correspond to the plurality of lockers, and selectively individually provide access to interiors of respective lockers from a front of the charging locker. The charging locker also includes a wiring and access compartment door selectively providing access to an interior of the wiring and access compartment from the front of the charging locker. The wiring and access compartment is configured to extend in a vertical direction and is horizontally adjacent to each of the lockers located within the locker stack compartment.
STORAGE SYSTEM
A storage assembly includes a first upright member configured to be supported by a surface, a second upright member configured to be supported by the surface, and a mount selectively supported by at least one of the first upright member and the second upright member. The second upright member is oriented parallel to and is spaced apart from the first upright member. The mount is configured to support an accessory and includes a mating interface having at least one feature that is complementary to a feature positioned on the accessory.
Shelf support assembly
A shelf support assembly includes a longitudinal post and a shelf bracket. The longitudinal post is attached upright to a vertical surface and includes a front surface that extends from a base of the post. The post includes two opposing longitudinal flanges each extending from a lateral side of the front surface. Each of the two opposing longitudinal flanges include a plurality of concentric flange holes. The shelf bracket is attached in a cantilevered arrangement to the longitudinal post. The shelf bracket includes a support surface and a support arm extending vertically away from an end of the support surface. The support arm includes two opposing arms, each having a concentric arm hole such that, with the shelf bracket attached to the longitudinal post, the concentric arm holes are aligned with a pair of the plurality of concentric flange holes of the longitudinal post.
Merchandise inventory data collection for shelf systems using light sensors
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.
Embedded electrical supply plug, electrical supply support arm, and rack electrical supply system
An embedded electrical supply plug has a mounting base and a fastener connected to each other, wherein the mounting base is provided with a power taking contact assembly, a circuit board and a power supply connector that are electrically connected to each other, the mounting base is provided with a first fastening surface, and the fastener is provided with a second fastening surface opposite to the first fastening surface, the fastener and the mounting base are threadedly connected to adjust the distance between the first fastening surface and the second fastening surface. The electrical supply plug is applicable to support arms of different thickness by changing the connection mode, thereby improving the installation flexibility and application range of the electrical supply system.
Adjustable shelving assembly
A shelving assembly includes a first and second support rail each including a plurality of slots. The assembly may further include a shelf configured to connect to the first and second support rails and a bracket connected thereto. The bracket includes a plurality of teeth arranged at a distal end of the bracket and facing away from the shelf. A leave spring may be connected to the shelf and extend from a connection point along a rear edge of the shelf to a side of the shelf. A locking tooth positioned at an end of the leave spring is configured to be inserted into a slot in the first or second support rail to lock the shelf in place. The shelving assembly may further include telescoping support rails. The support rails may be include front faces having slots therein. The front faces of the inner telescoping sections may be offset from the front faces of the outer telescoping sections. The assembly may include an extension bracket configured to connect to a front face of the inner telescoping sections and align with the front face of the outer telescoping sections.
HANG STANDARD AND STORAGE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE HANG STANDARD
A hang standard, for mounting vertically and connecting with cantilevered brackets, is elongated and has an approximately U-shaped cross-section with a front portion and two rearwards extending leg portions. The front portion comprises a plurality of slots located in a recess between first and second protruding portions, which are located on first and second side of the slots. The recess is laterally continuous from the first to the second protruding portion and over two columns of slots.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR STORAGE COMPONENTS
The present disclosure relates to a suspension system with a rear rail, configured to be arranged on a wall or the like, and a hang standard with rear leg portions comprising suspension slots arranged in each of the leg portions and being configured to connect with the lower flange of the rear rail. The rear rail further comprises an upper flange, and each of the hang standard leg portions comprise a mounting slot adapted to connect with the upper flange of the rear rail. The upper and lower flanges at least partially extend in different directions.
