  • Publication number: 20230276940
    Abstract: In a wall-mounted shelving and/or storage system, vertical standards are mounted to a wall using a plurality of individual cleats arranged in vertical columns and horizontal rows. The width of each cleat is smaller than the width of the standard, so that it can be hidden within the standard when mounted. Formed on the back of each vertical standard are a plurality of transverse edges at predefined intervals, in known spatial relationships with bracket connection points, for cooperating with the cleats to properly position and orient the standards at the correct height with respect to each other.

  • Publication number: 20220047071
    Abstract: A storage system in which storage components are connected in a cantilevered fashion to vertical standard uses thin cantilevered brackets support storage components. Despite the tendency of such brackets to swing when attached to the vertical standard, the cantilevered brackets are constructed and support the storage components in a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing manner. A thin cantilevered bracket made from a single, flat piece of metal oriented vertically and projecting from a connection interface includes a ledge extending from its side surface below a top edge of the bracket to support one end of a shelf or other planar member forming a storage component. A thin cantilevered bracket with an offset projection that attaches to an inside surface of a side panel of an enclosure that allows the side panel to align with the bracket connection interface.

  • Patent number: 10906706
    Abstract: A plastic container comprising a box and a lid. The box has a bottom portion and first and second pairs of opposing walls rising from the bottom portion to define an internal space of the container, and the upper edges of the walls are adapted to support the lid and comprise a flanges that extend outwards from the inner space. The lid is adapted to leave an outer portion of said flanges free along the entire length of the walls of the first pair when the lid is applied to the box. The lid can optionally be removed, even if the box is inserted in a rack where the flanges are supported by a guide.

  • Patent number: 10653239
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a suspension system (1) comprising first and second support elements (3), configured to be vertically arranged, and first and second brackets (5), which are attached to a respective one of the support elements in a cantilevered fashion. The system further includes a frame (7, 27), with side portions (27) that are attached to a respective one of the brackets by means of fastening arrangements, such that the frame with a container attached thereto becomes slidable as a drawer.

  • Patent number: 10028582
    Abstract: A storage system comprising a drawer frame and one or more boxes. The drawer frame comprises first and second guides with a U-shaped cross section, which is open towards the interior of the drawer frame such that flanges of a box can be inserted into the guides to thereby support the box slideably in the drawer frame. Clips are attached slideably to the guides and engage with the box through a clip connection device interacting with a box connection device of the box, which prevents the box from falling out of the frame.

  • Publication number: 20170081077
    Abstract: A lid for a container is adapted to be fitted on the top of a container and has a generally rectangular shape with two pairs of opposing and parallel edges, defining four corners and extending at least partly in a main plane in between the edges. In the vicinity of each of the four corners, the lid comprises at least a first and a second corner support, wherein the first corner support comprises two support surfaces rising a first step from the main plane, and where the second corner support comprises two support surfaces rising an additional second step from the main plane. The distance between the second corner supports of two diagonally opposing corners is greater than the distance between the first corner supports of said diagonally opposing corners. Thereby the lid can prevent containers with different bottom surface sizes from slipping sideways when stacked on top of the lid.

  • Patent number: 8950116
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sliding door arrangement with an attenuation and retraction device facilitating soft-closing of a sliding door. The arrangement includes an attenuation and retraction device, which may be placed in the extension of a rail guiding and retaining the door, and a pin that extends from the door and interacts with the attenuation and retraction device. The pin may optionally be locked in a retracted position during mounting of the door in order to protect the pin from damage resulting from excessive side forces.

  • Publication number: 20130167444
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sliding door arrangement including a sliding door, a rail system, with a rail which guides a sliding motion of the door, and an attenuation and retraction device, which brakes the sliding motion of the door at a brake position in the vicinity of a door end position and retracts the door to the end position. The door has a wheel, which is arranged to run on the rail, a pin, slideably mounted on the door, which is arranged to interact with the attenuation and retraction device, and optionally a pin movement limiting device, which, at least in a mounting position, limits the movement of the pin such that it does not extend further from the door than does said wheel.
