Abstract: A shelving device comprising: shelves having an outer shell enclosing a grid of shelving units so as to be erectable from a collapsed configuration of the shelving device, in which the shelves are in an accumulated condition, to an erected configuration of the shelving device, in which the shelves are stretched out to define the shelving units. A structure mechanism stretches the shelves to the erected configuration. The structure mechanism has a pole hub. Poles each have a top end pivotally connected to the pole hub and a body longitudinally connected to the outer shell of the shelves. A stretch mechanism is operatively interconnected to the poles and is manually displaceable to pivot the body of the poles away from one another about the pole hub so as to have the poles stretch the shelves to the erected configuration.

Abstract: A base for supporting an upstanding post having a first base member and at least one second base member. The first base member includes a first socket portion and a first support portion. Each second base member includes a second socket portion and a second support portion. The first and second base members are connected to each other and the first and second socket portions together define a post socket. The post socket has a plurality of walls defining a perimeter and extending from a bottom support for surrounding an end of the upstanding post. The first and second support portions each include at least one bearing point remote from a respective one of the socket portions to engage a support surface. A sports equipment rack and a kit for an assembly of a sports equipment rack is also disclosed.

Abstract: A shelving device comprises a pair of soft vertical panels and shelves. Each shelf is interconnected at a first end to a first of the vertical panels, and at a second end to a second of the vertical panels, so as to be erectable from a collapsed position of the shelving device, in which the shelves are piled upon one another, and a set-up position of the shelving device, in which the shelves are spaced from one another by the vertical panels each being extended in a plane Posts are releasably secured to the shelving device to support the vertical panels extended in the plane. The posts are removed to dismount the shelving device to the collapsed position, in which the shelving device is portable.
