  • Patent number: 5570940
    Abstract: A quick attach door system for enclosing a doorless shelved structure, such as a cabinet, wherein the shelves are supported by a number of apertured uprights which are used to accept the installation of a pair of vertically spaced door support members, each door support member being provided with apertured upright attachment members and with a door supporting structure, the door supporting members having portions extending outwardly of the upright members, a pair of door-halves being supported by the door support members, wherein the door-halves are coupled to the door support members by hinge devices that are retractable to permit installation and removability of the door-halves. The hinge devices can be secured to prevent retractability once the door-halves are shut and locked. Door striker plates serve as door stops when the door is in a closed position and magnets disposed within the door adjacent the door striker plates secure the doors in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 5127340
    Abstract: An adjustable shelving system having a pair of spaced uprights, each having a pair of spaced columns defining a plurality of mounting apertures which are adapted to receive fasteners securing brackets to the uprights, the brackets, in turn, supporting one or more shelves, each of which is provided with storing grooves for receiving storing units in their upright positions. Each bracket is provided with a pair of spaced slots angularly disposed with respect to a horizontal, one of the slots having an upper wall provided with indentations serving as a ratchet in conjunction with a fastener. The number of indentations that is selected determines incremental vertical movements of adjustability for the shelf. The lower edge of the bracket is provided with an upwardly facing flange which is adapted to receive a downward facing flange of the shelf.
