Modular shelving and hanger bar system.

摘要

A modular shelving system has a pair of vertical supports (4) for a central stack of shelves (5). Each shelf (5) is supported by a pair of shelf support brackets (1) (see Fig. 2) extending between the vertical supports (4) and the back wall of a closet, for example. Each shelf has a plurality of sheet metal planks (5) of generally trapezoidal cross-section which elastically snap onto complementary bosses (6) along the tops of the shelf support brackets (1). Similar shelves (5) extend from the central stack to side walls of the closet and are supported there by side wall brackets (8) which also have bosses (6) along the top complementary to the cross-section of the planks (5). Some of the brackets (1 and 8) have sockets (24) (see Fig. 7) for receiving the ends of hanger bars (10) beneath the shelves (5) and indepenet hanger bars (10) may also be provided at a lower level using a separate wall mounted socket (27) in each case. <IMAGE>
