The pipe portion (21) of the first component (2) and the pipe portion (51) of the second component (5) lie axially against each other when the pipe connector (7) of the second component (5) is arranged in the pipe portion (21) of the first component (2). The pipe connector (7) of the second component (5) is equipped with an actuatable locking clamping mechanism, which locking clamping mechanism of the pipe connector (7) of the second component (5) is designed to lock and clamp the pipe portion (21) of the first component (2) and the pipe portion (51) of the second component (5) together when the locking clamping mechanism is actuated while the pipe connector (7) of the second component (5) is arranged in the pipe portion (21) of the first component (2).

A crossmember (3) comprises an elongate rod portion (31) and two latching claws (32). The rod portion (31) has a central longitudinal axis, a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end substantially opposite the first longitudinal end. The first latching claw (32) is arranged at the first longitudinal end of the rod portion (31) and the second latching claw (32) is arranged at the second longitudinal end of the rod portion (31). The first latching claw (32) and the second latching claw (32) each comprise a gripping portion (321) shaped to correspond to a rod-shaped element (22, 31, 52) and are designed to be mounted on the rod-shaped element (22, 31, 52) without tools. The gripping portion (321) of the first latching claw (32) is offset from the gripping portion (321) of the second latching claw (32) with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the rod portion (31).

A storage solution uses wire shelves where the width of the wire shelves can be customized by a user by adding one or more central members between two end members. Thus, the shelving can be installed in one cabinet having a first width, and moved, if desired, to a cabinet of a different width by adding or removing central members from the shelf. Further, a manufacturer can provide a variety of shelf sizes by simply varying the number of central members that are provided. The shelving may be attached at each end to a slide to permit one or more shelves to extend outward from the inside of a cabinet.

A shelf rack includes first and second identical shelf units each including a first frame with first and second legs having respective first and second feet, a second frame with third and fourth legs having respective third and fourth feet and at least one shelf. The second and fourth feet have an outer diameter that is less than an outer diameter of the first and third feet. The second shelf unit is inverted and the first and second frames of the first shelf unit toollessly assemble to the first and second frames, respectively, of the second shelf unit by mating the larger outer diameter feet of the first shelf unit with the smaller outer diameter feet of the second shelf unit and mating the larger outer diameter feet of the second shelf unit with the smaller outer diameter feet of the first shelf unit.

A modular furniture arrangement includes electrically and mechanically attachable module furniture parts. The modular furniture arrangement includes at least two electrically and mechanically attachable modular panel-like elements. At least two mutually electrically insulated electrically conductive support structures arranged within at least two modular panel-like elements. The modular furniture arrangement also includes at least two attachment components for mechanically fastening the support structures of the at least two modular panel-like elements to each other and conducting electricity between the at least two modular panel-like elements. At least one electric actuator and at least one clamping component are provided. The clamping component having an adjustable length and which fixes the at least one electric actuator to a surface of the at least one modular panel-like element, wherein the at least one clamping component conducts electricity from the at least one modular panel-like element to said actuator for its use.

The object of the invention is a modular furniture arrangement comprising electrically and mechanically attachable module furniture parts (101). The modular furniture arrangement comprises for fixing modular furniture parts (101) to each other and for conducting electricity to the at least one surface level of the module furniture part at least two module furniture parts (101) attachable electrically and mechanically to each other, into which is formed at least two mutually electrically insulated electrically conductive supporting structure (102), and at least two attachment components (103) for mechanical fastening of support structures (102) of the module furniture parts (101) to each other and for conducting electricity between the modular furniture parts (101), and to be attached to the attachment components (103) of the modular furniture parts (101) and conducting electricity in the direction of the surface of the module furniture part at least two clamping components (104) for fixing the support structures (102) via the attachment component (103) to each other.
