20150053632 | Hanger Assemblies for Use in Storage Systems - A shelving unit includes a wire shelf having multiple wire members arranged to form a platform, at least one bracket configured to releasably couple to wire members of the wire shelf, and a rod coupled to the bracket. The bracket includes a hook-shaped end portion and an elbow portion. The hook-shaped end portion of the bracket defines a channel that opens toward the elbow portion for receiving a first one of the wire members, and the elbow portion of the bracket defines a bend for receiving a second one of the wire members to thereby releasably couple (e.g., snap fit, etc.) the bracket to the wire shelf. The shelving unit may also include a stop for inhibiting movement of hangers along the rod and past the stop, and/or a connector for coupling the shelving unit to a rod of another shelving unit for allowing movement of hangers between the rods. | 02-26-2015 |
20120255925 | ADJUSTABLE SHELVING SYSTEM WITH OVERLAPPING TRACKS - A track assembly for a shelving system is disclosed that includes at least two tracks. The tracks are configured to slide relative to each other in an overlapping manner. Each track has one or more fastener holes along a longitudinal length of the track and one or more portions protruding outwardly from the track. The one or more protruding portions defining one or more recessed portions on an opposite side of the track, such that at least one protruding portion of one track is configured to be slidably engageable within at least one recessed portion of the other track when the corresponding overlapping fastener holes are aligned. The slidable engagement of the one or more protruding portions of one track within the one or more recessed portions of the other track may thus indicate that the tracks have been slidably positioned relative to each other with their overlapping fastener holes aligned. | 10-11-2012 |
20120145661 | SHELVING END BRACKETS WITH INTERCHANGEABLE PIECES FOR SUPPORTING HANG RODS OF DIFFERENT SIZES - According to various aspects of the present disclosure, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of systems and methods for supporting hang rods and shelves from support surfaces, such as the walls of a closet or cabinet. In an exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes a pair of end brackets and a plurality of different pairs of interchangeable pieces configured to be selectively coupled to the pair of end brackets. Each pair of interchangeable pieces when selectively coupled to the end brackets, respectively, is operable for supporting a different hang rod from the support surface when the end brackets are coupled to the support surface. | 06-14-2012 |
20110233162 | COLLAPSIBLE BASKET FRAME KITS AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLING THE SAME - An exemplary collapsible basket frame kit is disclosed that generally includes uprights, runners, rivets, and keyholes. The runners are configured to slidably support a drawer or basket. The keyholes are configured to engagingly receive the rivets therein for removably attaching the runners to the uprights for slidably supporting a drawer or basket between a pair of the runners. | 09-29-2011 |
20110155677 | STANDARD AND TRACK SHELVING SYSTEMS - A shelving system is disclosed that includes at least one track and at least one standard. The track includes a rearward portion and a forward portion. The standard has an end portion slidably receivable within an opening of the track, such that the position of the standard relative to the track is slidably adjustable along the track. | 06-30-2011 |
20110094934 | STORAGE COMPONENTS COATED WITH AROMATIC ENCAPSULATES CONFIGURED TO RELEASE DESIRED FRAGRANCES AND/OR CHEMICALS - A storage component for a storage system generally includes at least one or more microcapsules applied to the storage component. The at least one or more microcapsules include an aromatic encapsulate configured to release a fragrance and/or chemical to thereby associate the fragrance and/or chemical with the storage component. And, a method for associating a fragrance and/or chemical with a storage component generally includes encapsulating at least one or more desired fragrances and/or chemicals in multiple microcapsules, and coating at least part of a storage component with the microcapsules. The encapsulated fragrances and/or chemicals are configured to be released from the microcapsules to thereby associate the fragrances and/or chemicals with the storage component. | 04-28-2011 |
20110017884 | SHELVING END BRACKETS WITH INTERCHANGEABLE PIECES FOR SUPPORTING HANG RODS OF DIFFERENT SIZES - According to various aspects of the present disclosure, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of systems and methods for supporting hang rods and shelves from support surfaces, such as the walls of a closet or cabinet. In an exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes a pair of end brackets and a plurality of different pairs of interchangeable pieces configured to be selectively coupled to the pair of end brackets. Each pair of interchangeable pieces when selectively coupled to the end brackets, respectively, is operable for supporting a different hang rod from the support surface when the end brackets are coupled to the support surface. | 01-27-2011 |
20090139943 | STANDARD AND TRACK SHELVING SYSTEMS - A shelving system according to an exemplary embodiment generally includes at least one track and at least one standard. The standard may include an end portion slidably receivable within an opening of the track, such that the position of the standard relative to the track is slidably adjustable along the track. The shelving system may also include one or more of the following, such as a shelving bracket, a hang rod assembly for supporting a hang rod from the shelving bracket, at least one mounting screw, and/or at least one locking member. When in the locked position, the locking member may releasably lock in place a portion of a shelf at least partially supported by the shelving bracket. The mounting screw may have a slotted head with an axial groove. | 06-04-2009 |
20090014400 | HOOK/HANGER COMPONENT MOUNTING SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS THEREOF, AND RELATED METHODS - According to various aspects of the present disclosure, there are provided various embodiments of attachment members, hooks, hanger components, mounting systems, and related methods. In one exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes a track standard, a hanger component having at least two spaced-apart bar portions, and an attachment member slidably engagable to the track standard. The attachment member includes first and second recessed portions configured for trapping the corresponding spaced-apart bar portions between the track standard and the attachment member when the attachment member is engaged to the track standard. With this trapping, the attachment member and hanger component may be collectively slidably movable along the track standard. | 01-15-2009 |
