ADJUSTABLE SHELF AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

A U-shaped adjustable shelving system comprised of a plurality of interconnecting shelf sections including a back shelf section, a right side shelf section and a left side shelf section. The right and left side shelf sections are coupled to the back shelf section with a sliding dovetail arrangement so as to allow adjustment of the right and left side shelf sections relative to the back shelf section in order to change the width of the adjustable shelving system. The back shelf section is adjustable in length to substantially match the width of the space in which the shelving system is to be installed. The adjustable shelving system includes support risers for self-supporting the shelving system above a surface. The adjustable shelf can be easily installed into a variety of cabinets, and allows access to small containers, such as those for herbs and spices.

主权项

1. An adjustable shelf system, comprising:
a first elongate shelf forming a back shelf surface, the first shelf comprised of a plurality of interlocking shelf sections, the plurality of interlocking shelf sections being selectively attachable and removable from one another and being of at least two different lengths for adjusting an overall length of the first shelf; a second elongate shelf oriented perpendicular to the first shelf, a distal end portion of the second shelf coupled to a first end of the first shelf with the second shelf forming a left side shelf surface extending from the first shelf; and a third elongate shelf oriented perpendicularly to the first shelf and parallel to the second shelf, a distal end portion of the third shelf coupled to a second end of the first shelf with the third shelf forming a right side shelf surface from the first shelf, the first, second and third elongate shelves forming a generally U-shaped shelf with each of the back, left and right shelf surfaces being substantially contiguous and in substantial planar alignment.
