An adjustable deck shelf assembly has repositionable components to enable the assembly to be secured to variably dimensioned and assembled deck railings. A shelf is secured to a hinged shelf support board with a removable locking shaft in a mechanical interference fit to permit removal and storage of the shelf and assembly. Hinged truss shelf supports secured to support legs can be deployed to support the shelf and retracted for storage. An adjustable deck shelf/seat assembly incorporates variable-height outriggers attached to truss shelf supports and a variable-height shelf support board to enable the assembly to be arranged as a shelf or as a seat.

A shelf support for leveling a shelf of a laboratory climatic cabinet is provided. The shelf support includes a shelf support body configured to be secured to a wall of the laboratory climatic cabinet and to support the shelf and at least one shelf leveling mechanism associated with the shelf support body. When the shelf is supported by the shelf support, the at least one shelf leveling mechanism is configured to adjust a distance between the shelf and a floor of the laboratory climatic cabinet. A laboratory climatic cabinet is provided and includes a shelf support, which includes a shelf support body configured to support the shelf and a shelf leveling mechanism, secured to a first wall of the cabinet. When a shelf is supported by the shelf support, the shelf leveling mechanism is configured to adjust a distance between the shelf and a floor of the cabinet.

A plate connecting assembly according to an embodiment includes a first frame, with an upper portion and a lower portion of the first frame making a predetermined angle with each other, and a second frame having a first support portion facing the upper portion and a second support portion facing the lower portion. In the plate connecting assembly, a first fixation-subject object is fixed between the upper portion and the first support portion, a second fixation-subject is fixed between the lower portion and the second support portion, and thus the first and second fixation-subject objects are fixed in such a manner that an angle therebetween is the same as an angle that the upper portion and the lower portion make with each other.

A bracket assembly having an upper leg and a lower leg for releasably and nondestructively engaging a shelf is provided. A spacer portion interconnects the upper leg and the lower leg, wherein at least one of the upper leg, the lower leg and spacer portion is configured to exert a clamping force on the shelf. A hook assembly extends from the lower leg and is configurated to retain produce such as bananas during ripening.

A dish caddy includes base and top members and a least one vertical supporting rod connecting the base to the top member. The supporting rod includes a hand grip and dish holders distributed at multiple levels along the supporting rod such that a user's hand does not interfere with dishes or food carried within the dish caddy. The dish holders may include notches carved into the supporting rod for accepting an edge of a dish such as a plate. Pivot arms and doors may hold the dishes within the notches during food transport. The dish holders may include top and bottom pressure pads and the distance between the pads on each individual dish holder may be user-adjustable to accommodate different sized dishes. The top and bottom pressure pads may be coupled by a gear system allowing the distance between the pads on a particular dish holder to be dynamically adjusted.
