  • Patent number: 4995323
    Abstract: A modular shelving system has a pair of vertical supports for a central stack of shelves. Each shelf is supported by a pair of shelf support brackets extending between the vertical supports and the back wall of a closet, for example. Each shelf has a plurality of sheet metal planks of generally trapezoidal cross section which elastically snap into complementary bosses along the tops of the shelf support brackets. Similar shelves extend from the central stack to side walls of the closet and are supported there by side wall brackets which also have bosses along the top complementary to the cross section of the planks. Some of the brackets have sockets for receiving the ends of hanger bars beneath the shelves.

  • Patent number: 4106158
    Abstract: This pivot assembly for a swinging or folding door can be readily adjusted for door height or position of the door pivot axis relative to the door jamb. An L-shaped bracket is connected into the corner between the floor and door jamb. The bracket has a number of discontinuities parallel to the floor to prevent translation. A pivot is mounted on the lower corner of the door, preferably by a plastic sleeve. The sleeve is threaded on the inside and a threaded pin is mounted therein. The lower end of the pin has means directly engaging the jamb bracket to prevent rotation and translation of the pin. To adjust the door in most embodiments it is lifted so that the head of the pin is out of engagement with the teeth in the slot. The pin is rotated by hand to move it up or down in the threaded sleeve. The pivot axis of the pin is adjusted by moving the pin to a desired position on the bracket.
