Adjustable wine rack system
A wine rack system having a standard with first and second elongated strips disposed in a substantially parallel and spaced relationship. At least first and second pins extend between the first and second elongated strips. Adjacent pairs of pins are spaced a first distance apart. A support arm is configured to attach to an adjacent pair of the pins. A connecting end of the support arm is sized for receipt between the spaced elongated strips. The connecting end includes an upper recess formed in an upper edge and a lower recess formed in a lower edge. Bottom ends of the recesses are spaced a second distance apart that is less than a distance between the pair of adjacent pins allowing for engagement of the pins within the recesses. A bottle holder configured to support a wine bottle is attached to the support arm.
ADJUSTABLE ANGLE SHELF BRACKET
A bracket assembly for attaching a shelf to a support structure at different angles. The bracket assembly comprises a bracket, an adjustment structure, and a locking structure. The bracket comprises a shelf support surface and a projecting portion with a notch extending from an attachment side of the bracket. The adjustment structure comprises a number of sides that are moveable between a plurality of different positions to change the shape of the notch in the projecting portion for attaching the bracket to the support structure at different angles. Different sides of the adjustment structure may be positioned to change the size of the notch for attaching the bracket to support structures with different thicknesses of material. The locking structure is configured to prevent movement of the adjustment structure when the adjustment structure is in position.

FLEXIBLE SHELVING UNIT
A flexible shelving unit includes a support frame having at least one vertical guide rack, the guide rack including an elongated slot. The shelf unit is supported by the guide rack. The shelf unit includes a shelf plate framed by a front reinforcement portion and by at least one side reinforcement portion. The shelf unit when in a release position is moved to selected upward and downward locations by vertical displacement of at least one locating pin connected to and extending from the at least one side reinforcement portion which is positioned and sliding within the elongated slot. A flat end face of the at least one side reinforcement portion directly contacts a plate face of the at least one vertical guide rack with the at least one side reinforcement portion and the shelf plate in a horizontal position to frictionally retain the shelf unit in the horizontal position.
REMOVABLE CART ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLES
The present invention is a removable storage system for use in a vehicle which allows a storage cart to be rolled into and out of the vehicle and secured within the vehicle. The storage system includes a support assembly adapted to be mounted within a vehicle. The support system has at least one horizontal member extending along the longitudinal side of the vehicle. The movable cart has at least one surface for supporting items, and a locking mechanism for locking the cart to the support system. The horizontal member includes at least one retention member to resist movement of the moveable cart in the longitudinal direction. The locking mechanism engages the horizontal member to lock the cart to the horizontal member to resist movement of the moveable cart in the lateral direction.
Food display friction hinge
Various embodiments for a food display that includes a friction hinge capable of retaining and adjusting a panel without a locking mechanism that requires attachments or detachments are disclosed. The food display can include food display posts and a friction hinge attached to at least one of the food display posts. A panel can be coupled to the friction hinge to act as a sneeze or breath guard, where the panel is capable of rotating about the friction hinge when a predetermined amount of force is applied to the panel.
