发明名称 SHELVING UNIT AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING THE SHELVING
摘要 A method of assembling a shelving unit uses corner posts each having opposing inner and outer surfaces having slots therein at shelf engaging locations. The shelves have parallel slats spaced apart along the length of a front and rear connecting rod adjacent opposing ends of the shelf. The outer two slats on each opposing side of the shelf are squeezed inward of one of the connecting rods to spread the distal ends of those slats in order to insert those distal ends into mating slots in the opposing sides of the corner posts

主权项 1. A shelving assembly, comprising: a plurality of rectangular shelves having opposing ends and sides, each shelf having an adjacent inner and outer slat both of which extend along a different one of the opposing sides of the shelf, the adjacent inner and outer slats having opposing distal ends each joined by a different connecting rod limiting movement of the adjacent inner and outer slats toward each other at the connecting rod, the distal ends having a rectangular cross section having a width and height; a plurality of corner posts having opposing inner and outer sides with aligned inner and outer recesses on those inner and outer sides of the corner post, respectively, the recesses located at predetermined distances from a bottom of the corner posts where the shelves are to engage the corner posts, each recess sized and shaped to correspond to the distal end of one of the inner and outer slats and snuggly receive that distal end during use, the slats being sufficiently flexible and close enough together that a user can grab adjacent inner and outer slats at a location inward of the connecting rod and squeeze them toward each other enough to spread the distal ends of the squeezed slats apart an amount sufficient to fit those distal ends into ends of the aligned and corresponding recesses in the corner posts.
