Abstract: In one embodiment, a mounting bracket for mounting a horizontal support member between vertical support columns of an equipment rack. The mounting bracket comprises a base member and a latch. The base member comprises integrated side and end plates, with the side plate being securable to the horizontal support member and the end plate constructed to vertically support the mounting bracket thereon. The latch detachably adjoins the mounting bracket to the vertical support column, and is constructed to be hand-operated to detach the mounting bracket from the vertical support column in response to a tool-less manual manipulation of the latch.

Abstract: A pull-out display shelf assembly having spaced-apart support structures mounted on gondola uprights, for example, and supporting a display shelf for movement between fully retracted and extended positions, with locking means for securing the shelf structure in any set position. The locking mechanism includes vertically rotatable square locking bars freely movable in a locking track when aligned therewith, and having locking engagement with the track when rotated out of alignment with the track. Simplified and improved support structures are formed of heavy gauge sheet metal, bent into an L-shaped configuration for strength and rigidity and formed to provide elongated locking slots in horizontal bottom panels of the L-shaped supports. Component parts are minimized and rigidity and locking action are improved. Stabilizing tabs at the inner ends of the support brackets minimize lateral flexing of the brackets when the shelf is released for movement relative to the support brackets.

Abstract: A system for supporting loads includes a track having uniformly spaced apertures separated by necks. A bracket is mounted on the track and has two groups of studs which are positioned in the necks and prevent the bracket from pulling away from the track. Neighboring studs in both groups have identical center-to-center spacings. Two plugs pass through holes in the bracket and into respective ones of the apertures. The plugs fix the bracket against movement relative to the track longitudinally and transversely of the latter. The distance between a plug hole and any stud equals one-half the center-to-center spacing of neighboring studs of a group or an integral multiple of one-half such spacing. A locking member passes through an additional hole in the bracket and frictionally engages the track to prevent the plugs from pulling out of the respective apertures during an impact.

Abstract: A heavy duty garage shelf assembly having shelf brackets that may be easily moved up or down and adjusted in place. The assembly is comprised of two steel vertical support tubes that are each bolted to a wall by a clamp at the top and a shoe-clamp at the bottom; and a number of shelf brackets. The shelf-brackets are made of steel tubing welded to form a cantilevered right triangle, with the base of the triangle being a tube that fits over the vertical support tubes and can slide up and down. The shelves are 0.75 in. thick in 1 in. thick wood plywood and are bolted to the shelf brackets. The garage shelf assembly, when using 11/2 inch diameter vertical support tubes, is capable of supporting up to 200 pounds total load on its shelves. For heavier loads, larger diameter vertical support tubes of 1.75 inch or 2 inches diameter should be used. The shelves can be extended in length by the addition of a vertical support tube and shelf brackets a distance apart at either end of the assembly.

Abstract: A support assembly for shelving comprises a shelf supporting bracket having a rearwardly projecting tongue for interfitting in a complementary outwardly facing channelled groove in an upright. The bottom corner of the tongue is cut-away to form an upwardly extending slot for reception of a hollow cylindrical shaped body of resilient material which urges the lower portion of the tongue forwardly against the front face of the groove and prevents movement of the tongue along the upright.In another aspect of the invention an elongate member is inserted into the slot at one end to push the tongue forwardly against the front face of the groove and at its other end rests on another shelf supporting bracket to fix the upper bracket in position relative the upright.

Abstract: Shelving support concepts provide convenient shelf-support at any selected height, by a vertical support member having a longitudinal slot into which is twisted a support plate having generally perpendicularly-related a slot-entering portion and an outer portion. In assembly, the slot-entering portion of the plate is inserted into the slot, and then manual twist-effort about the axis of the slots and applied to the outer plate-portion causes a tight interengagement of the support plate in the slot, thus establishing a forwardly-protruding support onto which is fitted a shelf-support bracket and shelving, the support-plate being then wholly concealed.
