Abstract: Support systems for supporting useful articles such as shelves, racks, bars or hooks include a support structure that can be attached to the article. The support structure defines a shaped channel, and an insert component of the system is receivable within the channel and has an exterior surface shaped to correspond to the shaped channel. The shaped channel can define one or multiple grooves, and the insert component can have one or multiple ribs that cooperate with the grooves to stabilize the insert component/support structure combination. The insert component can include at least one displaceable rib element for cooperating with a groove of the support structure.

Abstract: A shelf apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention includes first and second upstanding posts each having a plurality of horizontally-extending grooves in an external surface thereof, the grooves spaced vertically from one another. First and second shelf support clamps are supported by the first and second posts, respectively. The clamps each have a clamp body received only partially about its corresponding post, and the clamps each include a horizontally-extending protuberance such as a rib received in one of the grooves of its respective post. The apparatus further includes first and second shelf brackets supported by the first and second clamps, respectively, and a shelf supported by the first and second shelf brackets.

Abstract: An assembly for supporting a cantilever bracket and an assembly for supporting an object are provided. The assemblies include a mounting structure having a first surface and an opposite surface and defining an opening therebetween. A relief is defined at a distance from the first surface and surrounding a portion of the opening. An engagement member has a body that is engageable within the opening, a retaining flange projecting from the first end of the body and shaped to be received within the relief, and a retaining member disposed on the opposite end and having a bearing surface. A cantilever support member projects from the retaining member.
