Abstract:
1. A shelving system comprising: a support member having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis, the support member having a cross-section having generally an “I” shape and wherein the support member comprises outer flanges; at least one shelf slidably connected to the support member in a first position with a connection mechanism, the connection mechanism allowing the shelf to be adjusted linearly from the first position in a first direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis and adjusted linearly in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis with respect to the support member without rotation of the at least one shelf about the longitudinal axis, the connection mechanism including a user-actuatable clamping device comprising a clamp body and a clamp lever, the clamping device moving between locked and unlocked positions, in which the shelf can be adjusted in both the first and second directions when the user-actuatable device is in the unlocked position, and wherein the shelf can be locked relative to the support member in a second position that differs from the first position in both the first and second directions when the user-actuatable device is in the locked position; and a first connector disposed at the first end configured to hang the shelving system, and a second connector attached to the second end of the support member, the second connector being rotatable relative to the support member.
