Load beam assembly for storage unit

摘要

An elongate beam that supports an object in a storage space. The elongate beam has: i) a bottom wall with a downwardly facing surface; ii) a top wall having an upwardly facing surface and laterally spaced first and second side edges; and iii) laterally spaced first and second side walls with oppositely facing substantially flat surfaces. The top wall has lengthwise ends defined by edges and projects in cantilever fashion laterally beyond the flat surface on the first side wall to define a first flange with a first width between the flat surface of the first side wall and the first edge. The end edges do not extend orthogonally to a lengthwise center line for the top wall between the first and second side edges fully between the first and second side edges.

主权项

1. A load beam assembly configured to be received within a wall structure with a plurality of spaced supports, comprising:
an elongate beam having a length between spaced first and second ends; a first connector for connecting the first end of the elongate beam to one of the spaced supports upon the wall structure; and a second connector for connecting the second end of the elongate beam to another of the spaced supports upon the wall structure, wherein the elongate beam comprises: i) a top wall having an upwardly facing surface with a width between laterally spaced first and second edges extending generally parallel to the length of the elongate beam; and ii) a wall assembly below the top wall and having oppositely facing first and second surfaces, the upwardly facing surface having a lengthwise centerline between the first and second edges, the top wall extending in cantilever fashion away from the wall assembly to define a first flange extending to the first edge, wherein the top wall has first and second lengthwise ends defined by third and fourth edges, wherein the third edge has at least a first portion that does not extend orthogonally to the lengthwise centerline of the top wall between the first and second edges; and the upwardly facing surface configured to receive at least one stored object supported thereon.
