Abstract: A shelving system is disclosed that includes two tracks and a standard. The standard has an end portion slidably receivable within an opening one of the tracks, such that the position of the standard relative to the track is slidably adjustable along that track. The rearward portion of each track defines a recess. An elongate member is slidably receivable within the recesses of the tracks such that each track is slidable along the elongate member, whereby the slidable engagement of the elongate member within the recesses of the tracks aligns the tracks and allows slidable adjustment of the relative positioning of the tracks to each other.

Abstract: According to various aspects of the present disclosure, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of systems and methods for supporting hang rods and shelves from support surfaces, such as the walls of a closet or cabinet. In an exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes a pair of end brackets and a plurality of different pairs of interchangeable pieces configured to be selectively coupled to the pair of end brackets. Each pair of interchangeable pieces when selectively coupled to the end brackets, respectively, is operable for supporting a different hang rod from the support surface when the end brackets are coupled to the support surface.

Abstract: A shelving system according to an exemplary embodiment generally includes at least one track and at least one standard. The standard may include an end portion slidably receivable within an opening of the track, such that the position of the standard relative to the track is slidably adjustable along the track. The shelving system may also include one or more of the following, such as a shelving bracket, a hang rod assembly for supporting a hang rod from the shelving bracket, at least one mounting screw, and/or at least one locking member. When in the locked position, the locking member may releasably lock in place a portion of a shelf at least partially supported by the shelving bracket. The mounting screw may have a slotted head with an axial groove.
Abstract: According to various aspects of the present disclosure, there are provided various exemplary embodiments of shelves, resilient drawer stops, and drawer brackets mountable to wall-mounted standards for supporting shelves and drawers. In one exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes at least one shelf member, at least one bracket, and at least one resilient drawer stop. The bracket includes at least one engagement member for engaging a standard to mount the bracket to the standard, a support surface disposed generally horizontally when the bracket is mounted to the standard to slidably support a portion of a drawer, and a shelf support adjacent the support surface for supporting the shelf member. The resilient drawer stop is configured to resist completely sliding a drawer from the bracket's support surface.
Abstract: According to various aspects of the present disclosure, there are provided various embodiments of attachment members, hooks, hanger components, mounting systems, and related methods. In one exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes a track standard, a hanger component having at least two spaced-apart bar portions, and an attachment member slidably engagable to the track standard. The attachment member includes first and second recessed portions configured for trapping the corresponding spaced-apart bar portions between the track standard and the attachment member when the attachment member is engaged to the track standard. With this trapping, the attachment member and hanger component may be collectively slidably movable along the track standard.
Abstract: Various aspects of the invention provide various embodiments of attachment members, hooks, hanger components, mounting systems and related methods. In one exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes a wall standard, a hanger component or component having at least two spaced-apart bar portions, and an attachment member engagable to the wall standard. The attachment member includes first and second recessed portions configured for trapping the corresponding spaced-apart bar portions between the wall standard and the attachment member when the attachment member is engaged to the wall standard. With this trapping, the attachment member can thus retain the hanger component to the wall standard.
