Modular wine rack system with concave post mounting
The present disclosure provides a wine rack system comprising a plurality of vertically oriented posts, each post having a concave surface. A plurality of mounting brackets are included, each having a first side with a convex surface configured to engage with the concave surface of a post, a second side opposite the first side with a flat surface, and flanges extending from each side configured to extend along opposite sides of a post. The system further includes a plurality of bracket arms configured to be secured to the flat surface of a mounting bracket, and a plurality of support rods extending between opposing bracket arms to form shelves for holding wine bottles. The mounting brackets, bracket arms, and support rods combine to create a modular and adjustable wine storage system that securely attaches to the vertical posts.
1 . A wine rack system, comprising:
a plurality of vertically oriented posts, each post having a concave surface;
a plurality of mounting brackets, each mounting bracket comprising:
a first side having a convex surface configured to engage with the concave surface of a post,
a second side opposite the first side and having a flat surface, and at least one recessed opening configured to receive a screw and screw head flush within or below the flat surface of the second side, and
a flange extending from each side of the mounting bracket configured to extend along opposite sides of a respective post from said plurality of posts, wherein the flanges extend from the first side of each mounting bracket and the flanges are perpendicular relative to the second side of each mounting bracket, and wherein the flanges are configured to engage opposite sides of the respective post when mounted to resist lateral movement of the mounting bracket;
a plurality of bracket arms, each bracket arm configured to be secured to the flat surface of a respective mounting bracket from the plurality of mounting brackets; and a plurality of support rods extending between respective opposing bracket arms from said plurality of bracket arms to form shelves for holding wine bottles.
2 . The wine rack system of claim 1 , wherein the convex surface of the first side of each mounting bracket has a curvature complementary to the concave surface of each respective post for a uniform engagement between the first side and the concave surface of each respective post.
3 . The wine rack system of claim 2 , wherein each mounting bracket further comprises at least one threaded opening in the second side configured to receive a screw to secure a respective bracket arm to the mounting bracket.
4 . The wine rack system of claim 3 , wherein each mounting bracket further comprises a bracket recess disposed along a side surface of the mounting bracket between the first side and the second side, the bracket recess being adjacent the respective bracket arm and configured to provide clearance for an endcap of a respective support rod to avoid interference between the endcap and the mounting bracket.
5 . The wine rack system of claim 1 , wherein each support rod comprises an endcap at each end, each endcap includes a securing shaft configured to extend through a shaft opening of a respective bracket arm from the plurality of bracket arms and engage with a distal end of a respective support rod from the plurality of support rods.
6 . The wine rack system of claim 5 , wherein each securing shaft is a screw.
7 . The wine rack system of claim 1 , wherein the posts include screw openings configured to receive the screws to secure the mounting brackets to the posts.
