DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a pilaster system 100. The pilaster system 100 may include a pilaster 102 and a bracket 104. Example materials for the pilaster 102 may include wood or plastic, although other types of materials or combinations of materials are possible. Additionally, example materials for the bracket 104 include metal or plastic, although other types of materials and/or combinations of materials are possible. Additionally, various other embodiments of the pilaster system 100 may include multiple pilasters 102 and/or brackets 104, as show in FIGS. 10-14.

[0038] FIGS. 2, 3A, and 3B illustrate additional views of an example of the bracket 104. The bracket 104 may include a first flange 106, a second flange 108, a hook 110, a notch 112, a pin 114, and an aperture 116.

[0039] The first flange 106 and the second flange 108 may form the body of the bracket 104. The first flange 106 and the second flange 108 may be formed at an angle to each other. For example, the first flange 106 and the second flange 108 may be formed perpendicular or at a 90 degree angle to each other. Alternatively, the first flange 106 and the second flange 108 may be formed at an acute or obtuse angle to each other. The first 106 and second flange 108 may meet at a corner of the bracket, which may be, for example, a sharp corner or may be curved with a radius.

[0040] The hook 110 may extend from and/or form part of the first flange 106. For example, the hook 110 may extend from an end and/or a top of the first flange 106. For reference, the terms top and bottom may refer to the orientation of components when they are installed, for example, in a cabinet. Additionally or alternatively, it may refer to the orientation of the component as shown in the figures. The first flange 106 may have a different height on one side of the hook 110 vs the other side of the hook 110. For example, the first flange 106 and the second flange 108 may have a first height H1 on one side of the hook 110, for example, the side of the hook 110 where the first flange 106 and the second flange 108 meet. Additionally or alternatively, the first flange 106 may have a second height H2 on the other side of the hook 110, for example, the side of the hook 110 opposite from where the first flange 106 and the second flange 108 meet. The first height H1 and the second height H2 may be different. Alternatively, the first height H1 and the second height H2 may be the same.

[0041] Referring particularly to FIG. 3B, additionally or alternatively, the hook 110 may have a width W1 that is greater than a width W2 and/or a width W3 of the first flange 106. For example, a portion of the hook 110 defined by the width W1 may extend out past a portion of the first flange 106 defined by the width W2 and/or a portion of the first flange 106 defined by the width W3. Alternatively, the width W1 of the hook 110 may be the same as or less than the width W3. These dimensions, W1, W2, W3 (described further below), and the second height H2 may enable easier use of the bracket 104, for example, easier installment and/or hooking of the bracket 104 onto the pilaster 102. Additionally or alternatively, these dimensions may also provide greater support and stability for the bracket 104 and any accessories or components installed onto the bracket 104 and/or pilaster 102.

[0042] The notch 112 may be disposed on the first flange 106. The notch 112 may be closer in proximity to a bottom of the first flange 106 and/or an end of the first flange 106 opposite the end of the flange 106 with the hook 110. The notch 112 may extend from an edge of the first flange 106 into to the flange 106 towards the corner where the first 106 and second flange 108 meet. The widths W2, W3 of the first flange 106 may extend on different sides of the notch 112, and may be the same as or different from each other. For example, the width W2 of the first flange 106 between the hook 110 and the notch 112 may be shorter than the width W3 of the first flange 106 on the other side of the notch 112, between the notch 112 and the end of the bracket 104. As illustrated in FIGS. 2-3B, the notch 112 may have rounded edges with a radius.

[0043] The second flange 108 may include the pin 114. Additionally, as shown in FIG. 2, the second flange 108 may include the aperture 116. The aperture 116 may be, for example, threaded and/or sized to receive a screw. For example, FIGS. 3A and 3B show a screw (or other similar fastener) 118 in the aperture 116. The pin 114 may be, for example, press fit or otherwise assembled with into the flange 108. Additionally or alternatively, the pin 114 may be a single, unitary structure and formed with the flange 108 and/or the bracket 104. The aperture 116 may be disposed near or closer to the top of the bracket 104 and/or the end of the bracket 104 with the hook 110 than the pin 114. The pin 114 may be disposed near or closer to the bottom of the bracket 104 and/or the end of the bracket 104 opposite from the hook 110 than the aperture 116. In some implementations, the pin 114, the aperture 116, and the screw 118 may be used to attach or couple the second flange 108 of the bracket 104 to a rail 132, as shown and described in further detail below in FIGS. 8 and 9. Also, in some implementations as shown in FIGS. 2-3B, the second flange 108 (and/or the bracket 104 as a whole) includes only one pin 114 and only one aperture 116 configured to receive only one screw 118, thereby providing a one-screw installation of the bracket 104, which in turn may optimize materials and cost, and/or provide easier installation or assembly with other components of a storage system compared to multi-screw alternatives.

[0044] FIGS. 4A-C illustrate different views of the pilaster 102. The pilaster 102 may include a base 120, a first sidewall 122, a second sidewall 124, pins 126, pin apertures 128, and mounting apertures 130.

[0045] The base 120, first sidewall 122, and second sidewall 124 may form the body of the pilaster 102. The base 120, first sidewall 122, and second sidewall 124 may extend vertically upward when installed. The first 122 and second sidewall 124 may extend out from the base 120, for example perpendicular to the base 120, such that a cross section of the pilaster 102 forms a C or U shape. Alternatively, the first 122 and/or second sidewall 124 may extend from the base 120 at an acute or obtuse angle. The first 122 and second sidewall 124 may be opposite from each other and/or extend parallel to each other, with the base 120 extending between the first 122 and second sidewall 124.

[0046] The pins 126 may extend between the first sidewall 122 and the second sidewall 124 and may, for example, extend parallel to the base 120. Each of the first sidewall 122 and the second sidewall 124 may include an associated set of apertures or holes (also called pin holes and/or pin apertures). Additionally, each of the pins 126 may be secured or coupled to the first sidewall 122 and the second sidewall 124 by having one end inserted into a respective one of the holes/apertures of the first sidewall 122 and another end inserted or fit into a respective one of the holes/apertures of the second sidewall 124. In some implementations, each of the ends are press fit and/or glued in respective holes/apertures of the first and second sidewalls 122, 124.

[0047] Further, on the first sidewall 122, the holes are or include blind holes on an inner surface of the first sidewall 122 that faces the second sidewall 124. The holes are referred to as blind holes in that they do not extending through to an outer surface of the first sidewall 122, and thereby are hidden from view when viewing the outer surface of the first wall 122. For example, FIG. 4A shows the outer surface of the first sidewall 122 without showing any of the blind holes disposed on the inner surface of the first sidewall 122. When installed in a storage system (examples of which are described in further detail below with respect to FIGS. 10-13), some or all of the outer surfaces of the first sidewalls 122 may be visible to a user of the storage system, such as after the storage system is installed. Configuring the holes of the first sidewall 122 to be blind holes, and in turn the outer surface of the first sidewall 122 to be smooth, may provide a more aesthetically pleasing appearance compared to if the holes extended through to the outer surface of the first sidewall 122 and were resultingly visible.

[0048] Additionally or alternatively, the second sidewall 124 may include the pin apertures 128, which may be through holes, extending completely through the second sidewall 124 from an outer surface to an inner surface facing the first sidewall 124. Since the pin apertures 128 extend completely through the second sidewall 124, then the pin apertures 128 may be visible from the outer surface of the second sidewall 124. For example, FIG. 4C shows the pin apertures 128 on the outer surface of the second sidewall 124. However, when implemented in a storage system (such as described in further detail below in FIGS. 10-14), the outer surfaces of the second sidewalls 124 may not be visible to a user, in turn rendering the visible appearance of the pin apertures 128 on the outer surfaces of the second sidewalls 124 no less visually appealing.

[0049] In order to couple a pin 126 to the first and second sidewalls 122, 124 via the holes, the pin 126 may be inserted into a pin aperture 128 from an outer surface of the second sidewall 124, through an inner surface of the second sidewall 124, and through to a corresponding blind hole in the first sidewall 122. As mentioned, the pins 126 may be, for example, press fit into place and/or may be secured with an adhesive such as glue in some implementations. The plurality of pins 126, pin apertures 128, and blind holes may be spaced apart along the pilaster 102 and sidewalls 122, 124 from top to bottom at regular intervals. Additionally or alternatively, the pins 126, pin apertures 128, and blind holes may be spaced along the pilaster 102 and sidewalls 122, 124 irregularly. As illustrated in more detail with respect to FIGS. 5 and 6, the pins 126 may be spaced apart, for example, to receive a hook 110 and notch 112 of a bracket 104 such that one or more brackets 104 can be installed onto a pilaster 102 and used to mount an accessory component (shown in later figures).

[0050] The mounting apertures 130 may be, for example, through holes, and may be disposed in the base 120, extending through the base and configured to receive a fastener such as a screw or nail. Multiple mounting apertures may be disposed in the base apart from each other to secure the entire length of the pilaster 102 to, for example, a cabinet wall (such as a wall of cabinet 136 shown in FIG. 12).

[0051] FIGS. 5, 6, and 7A-7C illustrate additional views of the bracket 104 assembled and mounted on to the pilaster 102.

[0052] FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate brackets 104 installed on a rail 132. The brackets 104 may be mounted on the rail 132 and/or any sort of component used to mount an item on the pilaster 102. Multiple brackets 104 may be installed on the rail 132, for example, to provide points of contact and installation with multiple corresponding pilasters 102. The rail 132, for example, may be used to allow an additionally installed component or item (such as a drawer or a shelf as shown in later figures) to slide. The bracket 104 may be mounted to the rail 132 via the pin 114 and screw 118 and/or aperture 116.

[0053] FIGS. 10-12 illustrates multiple brackets 104, rails 132, and pilasters 102 assembled together to form, for example, a storage system utilizing the pilaster system 100 to hang and arrange a drawer 134 in a cabinet 136. As shown in FIGS. 10-12, a symmetrical and/or reversed geometry of the bracket 104 and pilaster 102 shown in FIGS. 1-9 may be used to create two halves of the system. FIGS. 13 and 14 illustrate further configurations of multiple brackets, rails 132, and pilasters 102 assembled together to form, for example, a storage system utilizing the pilaster system 100 to hang and arrange multiple drawers 138, 140 in a cabinet, such as the cabinet 136 in FIG. 13.

[0054] Additionally, of note, FIGS. 10-13 show front perspective views of example pilaster systems 100 integrated with one or more components of a storage system, such as rails 132, drawers 134, 138, 140, and/or cabinetry 136. On the other hand, FIG. 14 shows a back or rear perspective view of a storage system, as previously described. In such front perspective views, the blind holes on the inner surfaces of the first sidewalls 122 are not visible, as illustrated in FIGS. 10-13. In contrast, the pin apertures 128 on the outer surfaces of the second sidewalls 124 are visible from the back or rear view of the storage system, as illustrated in FIG. 14.

[0055] FIGS. 15A-20 illustrate other examples of a bracket. For the sake of brevity, features similar to what has been discussed above may not be repeated. Also, a person of ordinary skill in the art will understand the features discussed below with respect to FIGS. 15A-20 may be incorporated, as desired and/or needed, into the examples of the bracket shown in FIGS. 1-14, including, but not limited to, the locking structure of the notch 112, the plurality of apertures 116 on the second flange 108, and the arrangement of the first flange 106 relative to the second flange 108 (e.g., shown in FIGS. 15B and 17B) discussed in greater detail below.

[0056] As one non-limiting example, as shown in FIGS. 15A-15C, the second flange 108 may have a plurality of apertures 116, which may be threaded and/or sized to receive a screw and/or other components for securing an item on the pilaster 102. Providing the second flange 108 with a plurality of apertures 116 is advantageous for allowing the second flange 108 to accommodate varying mounting requirements of different items. The number and arrangement of the plurality of apertures 116 may be varied, as desired and/or needed, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

[0057] In a first example arrangement as shown in FIGS. 15A, 17A, the first flange 106 is on the left and the second flange 108 is on the right, from the perspective shown in the figures. In a second example arrangement as shown in FIGS. 15B, 17B, the first flange 106 is on the right and the second flange 108 is on the left, from the perspective shown in the figures. It will be appreciated that the arrangement/orientation of the first flange 106 relative to the second flange 108, and their respective orientations may be varied, as desired and/or needed, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, for different mounting requirements.

[0058] Referring to FIGS. 15A-20, for example, the notch 112 of the bracket 104 has a locking structure configured for providing better/stable engagement between the bracket 104 and the pin 126 of the pilaster 102, thereby providing stronger support for larger items (e.g., drawers) with more weight. As shown, the locking structure includes a curved portion 113 and a substantially flat portion 115, with a transition edge 117 disposed between the curved portion 113 and the substantially flat portion 115. The curved portion 113 may be configured to curve along a circumferential surface of the pin 126 of the pilaster 102 when the pin 126 is received in the notch 112 for coupling the bracket 104 to the pin 126. The transition edge 117 is configured to be a stop that reduces the likelihood of disengagement of the notch 112 from the pin 126. It will be appreciated that the configuration and location of the locking structure may be varied, as desired and/or needed, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, as long as the locking structure is configured to reduce the likelihood of disengagement of the notch 112 from the pin 126 (e.g., the substantially flat portion 115 may be replaced with an uneven/sloped portion).

[0059] The example pilaster system 100 and/or storage systems shown in FIGS. 1-14 are merely examples. Other examples may include additional, different, or fewer components. Additionally, storage systems including a cabinet, one or more drawers, and/or one or more rails as illustrated in FIGS. 10-14 are just one type of application for which the pilaster systems 100 described herein may be utilized. Various other applications utilizing the pilaster system 100 are possible.
