Intensive use shelf
View Patent ↗The invention is directed to an intensive use furniture component having a sealing connection on a mounting surface for sealingly attaching to a floor or wall to prevent liquid from seeping under or behind the furniture component. The furniture component is formed by an outer shell having a side wall extending generally perpendicular to the mounting surface. A mounting flange is disposed adjacent the sidewall. A bolt hole is formed in the mounting flange. The sealing connection comprises a caulk channel formed as a channel in the mounting surface for receiving a bead of caulk to fill the seam between the mounting surface and the wall or floor to prevent fluid from seeping past the caulk channel to a space adjacent the interior mounting surface.

3. The intensive use shelf of claim 1 , wherein the ligature resistant top further comprises a sloping top surface.
4. The intensive use shelf of claim 1 , wherein the ligature resistant top is integrally molded to the back.
5. The intensive use shelf of claim 1 , wherein the first side wall and second side wall further comprise rounded corners.
6. The intensive use shelf of claim 1 , wherein the top extends from the first side wall to the second side wall.
7. The intensive use shelf of claim 3 , wherein the top extends from the first side wall to the second side wall.
8. The intensive use shelf of claim 3 , wherein the bottom extends from the first side wall to the second side wall.
9. The intensive use shelf of claim 1 , wherein the bottom further comprises a sloping bottom shelf surface whereby the sloping bottom shelf surface prevents fluid collection in the intensive use shelf.
10. The intensive use shelf of claim 1 , wherein the ligature resistant J-bar configuration hangar support is in the bottom.
11. The intensive use shelf of claim 1 , wherein the J-bar configuration hangar support comprises an upper indentation adapted to receive a clothes hangar hook.
12. The intensive use shelf of claim 9 , further comprising a recessed pocket formed on the sloping bottom shelf surface, the recessed pocket adapted to support a clothes hangar hook.
13. The intensive use shelf of claim 12 , wherein the recessed pocket formed on the sloping bottom shelf surface does not extend through the bottom.
14. The intensive use shelf of claim 1 , further comprising a contraband barrier on the back.
15. An intensive use shelf comprising:
a molded hollow outer shell having a top, a bottom, a back wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, the top on the back wall, the bottom on the back wall spaced from the top, the first side wall on the back wall integrally molded to the top and bottom, the second side wall on the back wall integrally molded to the top and bottom, the first side wall spaced from the second side wall; and
a ligature resistant J-bar configuration hangar support integrally molded on and extending from the back wall.
