Wall mounted shelving system
View Patent ↗A wall mounted shelving system is provided. The system includes a support rail mountable on a wall and having a notch on a wall-facing surface thereof. At least one support member is mountable on the rail and defines an end portion for abutting the wall and further defines a recess having a rail receiving portion and a bracket receiving portion. The bracket receiving portion includes a slot with a notch formed at an end thereof. A bracket is configured to extend from the rail through the slot of the bracket receiving portion and has a first flange on a first end thereof for engaging the notch of the bracket receiving portion and a second flange on a second end thereof for engaging the notch of the support rail.
1. A wall mounted shelving system comprising:
a support rail mountable on a wall and having an upward-facing surface, a wall-facing surface, and a concave rounded notch defined between the upward-facing surface and the wall-facing surface;
at least one support member mountable on the rail and defining an end portion for abutting the wall and further defining a recess having a rail receiving portion and a bracket receiving portion, the bracket receiving portion including a slot having an open end for facing the wall, a closed end opposite the open end and a vertically-offset concave rounded notch formed below the closed end; and
a one-piece bracket having an elongate member configured to extend from the rail through the slot of the bracket receiving portion of the support member and having a convex rounded first flange on a first end of the elongate member and a convex partially rounded second flange on a second end of the elongate member opposite the first end, the first flange and second flange extending in a common direction from the elongate member, the first flange dimensioned to matingly engage the notch of the bracket receiving portion of the support member, and the second flange dimensioned to matingly engage the notch of the support rail.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein a support-facing surface of the rail opposite the wall-facing surface thereof engages a wall-facing surface of the rail receiving portion of the support member.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the support member is moveable from a first position in which the second flange of the bracket is not in engagement with the notch of the support rail and a second position in which the second flange of the bracket is in engagement with the notch of the support rail.
4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the recess of the support member further defines a clearance area for providing clearance for slideable movement of the support member from the first to the second position.
5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket is slideably receivable within the bracket receiving portion.
6. The system according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the bracket receiving portion is equal to about a width of the rail.
7. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the support rail is horizontally positioned relative to a ground surface.
8. The system according to claim 1 , wherein a shelving panel extends between two of the at least one support members.
9. A wall mounted shelving system comprising:
a support rail mountable on a wall, the support rail having a wall-facing surface and a concave rounded notch defined along a top margin of the wall-facing surface;
at least one support member for supporting a shelving panel and defining an end portion for abutting the wall and further defining a recess having a rail receiving portion and a contiguous slot and an interior concave rounded notch, the notch being spaced-apart from the end portion and defined within an interior of the support member; and
a one-piece bracket having an elongate member extending between the support rail and the support member and having a convex rounded first flange on a first end of the elongate member for being selectively received in the concave rounded notch of the support member and having a convex partially rounded second flange on a second end of the elongate member for being selectively received in the concave rounded notch of the support rail, the first flange and second flange extending downwardly from the elongate member and the elongate member being received within the slot of the support member.
