  • Patent number: 5251973
    Abstract: A shelving unit for placement at the bottom of a storage locker is formed of wire rods welded together. It includes a pair of planar side members adapted to be supported in abutment with the opposed side walls of the locker and a pair of shelf members with U-shaped hook members on opposed sides adapted to engage pairs of closely vertically spaced horizontal rods extending between forward and rear vertical legs of each side member. The U-shaped hooks formed on opposed shelf edges extend upwardly, normal to the shelf surfaces and then downwardly so that the open ends of the U's extend over a pair of horizontal rods. Because the shelves space the end sections by the width of the locker, they force the side members into abutment with the opposed side walls of the locker to provide stability to an otherwise unstable structure.
